There are two different routes you can take to the hotel.
We recommend you take the bus servicing City Centre/ Stillorgan / Sandyford / Lepardstown (Lepardstown Route). Let the driver know you are staying at the Mespil and they will let you know which stop. The stop you should get off at is Leeson Street Bridge (the stop before Burlington hotel). When you get of the bus, walk back to the canal and turn right. Follow the canal (the canal should be on your left hand side) and Mespil Hotel is located on the right hand side about 400metres (3-5 minute walk) from the bus stop.
Alternatively you can take the bus servicing Ballsbridge / Donnybrook. Let the driver know you are staying at the Mespil and they will let you know which stop. You have two options; (1) Take this service to The Schoolhouse Hotel and or (2) you can remain on the bus and disembark at the stop called Leeson Street Bridge (ie the last stop before the bridge). This is the shortest walk to the hotel, as you simply cross the road at Leeson Street Bridge and walk down Mespil Road, with the Grand Canal on your left hand side. Continue straight and the Mespil Hotel is located on the right hand side.
