“In Dublin, this grande dame stands out for its history and prime location overlooking St. Stephen's Green. I especially appreciate its distinct touches, such as the in-house Genealogy Butler, along with the multiple dining options including the acclaimed Horseshoe Bar. It's a place where luxury and Irish tradition meet, though some facilities might show their age.”

charming experience at a premier hotel

attentive staff nearby attractions diverse menu nice spa
The staff were attentive. I found them quick to respond to requests, and i appreciated their warm demeanour. the hotel offered convenient access to nearby attractions was great, though parking was expensive! i enjoyed the variety of dining options available, each with unique atmospheres, offering diverse menus. the available spa was a nice treat, with several options for rejuvenation after a day of sightseeing.
the room decor felt slightly dated for a hotel of this standing, though it was very clean.

a satisfactory visit

central location helpful staff warm room doubled price
the location was VERY CENTRAL. it made it easy to walk to many attractions. the staff were helpful, especially the doormen WHO offered assistance.
The check-in process felt unwelcoming, and this was a disappointment. The room was warm and noisy, difficult to relax. i expected more for the price I paid. the price for extra 2 days doubled. It was unexpected.
