Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre, an IHG Hotel

Hotel

No refund because of cancellation due to corona virus. They only offered to postpone the booking to the end of the year and me paying the possible difference in costs. Sounds strange that Holiday Inn cannot provide a voucher which would work in any of their hotels.

Absolute team players at holiday inn Dublin have just confirmed they will be taking the full charge for our booking which we can’t make due to flight restrictions in place. Utter disgrace.

We had a night stay at Holiday Inn Express Dublin and absolutely enjoyed it!
Staff was friendly and and answered all the questions.
Room was clean and cosy.
Really good location as well.
Thank you!

Welcoming staff. Nice warm reception. Good sized room for a city location. Well located close to everything.

Very nice hotel with helpful staff.

Great hotel, wonderful reception staff.

Good location to get around Dublin. Room on 2nd floor clean and spacious however noise from bar next door meant we had close window. Great walk in shower. Beds very comfy with quality mattress. Use of safe for valuables. Bottles of water in room and few herbal options would have been a good addition to tea/coffee.
Help your self buffet breakfast was delicious and plentiful with scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, baked beans and grab & go bags for those in a rush.
Staff very professional and friendly.
Overall a pleasant stay in Dublin.

Great location but need to have a better breakfast. And why price was 360 for two night in july and 391 in beginning of sep. For same bed breakfast and a smaller room and when asked at desk they had no idea positive side rooms lovely and clean. It is a nice hotel but needs improvements.

Great location on O'Connell. If you're taking the airlink bus to/from the airport, the bus stops are both a few meters away. Walking to Temple Bar is quite doable and has lots to and see on the way. It's a bit awkward getting suitcases up to where lifts are, but not terrible. Staff was super helpful and rooms were nice. Breakfast included, which was great.

Pros: — large room size — shower was big enough to let you shave your legs (unusual for European accommodations in my experience) — the croissants at breakfast were very good — clean room — convenient location Cons — we booked a room with two twins and got a UK king and a sofa bed. We called reception and they were accommodating. — street noise was a bit loud at night (they give you earplugs) — the hot breakfast was not good — the doors to the elevators/stairs are never locked. It was in a fairly safe location, but I'd feel better if there were some measures keeping non-guests from accessing the room floors.

Very cozy place to stay in the city. Beds were very comfortable and relaxing. The rooms were nice and large which helped with our ability to have our luggage in the room and have the ability to use the room as well. The mirrors in the bathroom has a space that doesn't fog while you shower making it easy to finish up getting ready after a shower. Place had a modern feel with nice a curious staff.

Mihaela is truly one of the nicest people in hospitality I've ever met. She was so pleasant and helpful. This very nice hotel located at the very center of everything. Walking distance to restaurants and tour bus system. Rooms are nice and modern. The staff is very friendly.

Had a wonderful stay here with my boyfriend. The rooms were spotless and modern, and breakfast was tasty with a variety of options. A great perk was it being around the corner from a bus stop that we hopped off from the airport — saving us a lot of money in cab fare. Staff was also really helpful. They held our large bags overnight while we attended a wedding in Slane and even went to double check to see if I left my hair appliance on in the room when we weren’t at the hotel. Thank you for a great stay!

Stayed five nights on business. Pleasantly surprised at almost everything about this property. Feels brand, brand new. Super clean and sleek. Great staff. The location is super central, easily walkable to almost everything in Central Dublin. Also steps away from several light rail and bus stops — — including airport bus. The room was small, but designed in excellent way to where you never feel cramped. There are outlets everywhere you turn. Everything sparkling clean and in working order. Comfy bed. And an AC that worked GREAT (which isn't common in this part of Europe). Included breakfast is as expected, but always fresh and constantly replenished. If you are traveling with family and looking to save $$ on breakfast, this is a great option! I will definitely be staying here next time I'm in Dublin.

Holiday Inn express Dublin We stayed here for two nights. I have a very good impression of the hotel. Yes, the room was really small, so I couldn’t spread all my things around, so I would not recommend it for a long stay. But for the short-term visit to Dublin it’s just perfect. The location is fantastic, you can walk around to all the places you may want to see or just wander by the streets and enjoy. The hotel to my best memory was quite new and shiny, it was a real pleasure to be there. Breakfast was also good, comparing even to the breakfast of the same chain of Holiday Inn but in other places. The only issue is parking, we had to make a couple of circles around the neighborhood to understand where to park, and then had to walk a bit to the hotel itself. Anyway, The hotel wins my best appreciation for being new, perfectly located and serving good breakfasts.

Very nice hotel centrally located. Staff were outstanding especially considering super busy St. Patty’s week. Breakfast very good too. Rooms comfortable. Next door to very good restaurant too. No complaints.

Fantastic place to plan your trip in Dublin. About 2 blocks up the street there is a fantastic breakfast spot and right around the corner an even better place for Pho. In terms of location you really can't beat it, right off the stop for the express shuttle to the airport. Plus only a short walk to all the fantastic sites of Dublin. Honestly me and my wife where able to walk everywhere, it's just a fantastic centralized location. Plus it's got free breakfast and a nice bar for when you don't feel like going to a pup.

For tourists, great hotel. For business not great. The in-room desks are very small — they are barely desks at all — so the lobby/common area is full of business people trying to work. The internet can be a little spotty. The service is nice, the rooms are new but sparse. Breakfast is just barely up to standard. The price is good for the location — the location is great. I was working, so I am rating the hotel according to business needs.

I really recommend this hotel. Excellent location (bus stops, to and from the airport are opposite the train station a few steps away). The staff is attentive and very kind. Breakfast buffet very good and with fresh products. The rooms are beautiful and modern. I have not found any defect.

Very nice hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious. The position is very good (in the heart of Dublin). Lovely staff!

Great Location, clean, comfortable, friendly, helpful staff. Location is very central. Very clean, it is a Holiday Inn, not a Four Seasons hotel. So this is 5/stars based on that, not luxury. If your looking for clean, modern, Hot water, it is very good. Staff is always there and friendly, if you need help, they will instantly. Otherwise, they stay out of your way. The area gets a bit noisy with kids coming into the city to have fun and party, so I recommend the upper floors.

Ideal location. Excellent service. Friendly and attentive staff always. Very good breakfast buffet included in the price. They let you take the food so if you do excursions, you have solved the topic of the snacks. Very comfortable rooms and close to pubs and shops.

Comfortable rooms. Loved the size of the bathroom. Was a little disappointed with the breakfast bar. Not many delicious halal/vegetarian options. The eggs were kind of watery but I guess that's pretty normal for a breakfast buffet? Loved the service crew though, they were friendly and accommodating. Really easy to get to places from here as it's minutes from the tram or bus stop, and there's a 24 hr convenience store 2 minutes away for late night needs. Couldn't find the fridge in the room so I'm not sure there was one.

Came to Dublin for a city break with my partner. We're staying for 4 nights and so far it has been great. The room is super with a good bathroom and shower. The bed is comfortable (medium, firm) and even though we are located on the front corner, second floor (closest to the road) we still get a good night sleep with little disturbance from the traffic. Room service staff are superb and very attentive to your needs. The location is amazing you can get the hop on, hop off tour bus just outside the hotel or you can walk to almost anywhere in the city. It feels like nothing is more than a half hour walk from the hotel which is great! (the river is only a 10min walk). The morning breakfast is great too, very easy and quick self service with all the food of a good quality so far. The coffee machines are pretty good too with freshly ground beans and a good selection of drinks available. The price was reasonable for what you get and considering the location but we did visit in Feb so not sure if it was cheaper than normal.

Good location
Unfortunately the lobby is under construction so in the morning the breakfast is a bit too noisy as well as lunch and dinner.
Some small flaw to be improved as and when you measure.

Very nice Hotel in Dublin and good value for money. Modern and simple but cosy. The Self service of the breakfast something just of variety but all of good quality.

Great hotel in a perfect location. One note, hot breakfast is not ready for service at 6am during the week which means if you are taking a early morning tour you won't be able to eat the hot breakfast. However fruit, yogurt, cereal, and coffee are available. Would highly recommend for your trip to Dublin.

This modern hotel always reminds you of the Swedish furniture store:-) It is all very clean and well maintained, and you can feel comfortable in it. The airport buses stop right outside the door, it goes back on the opposite side of the road. At breakfast there should be a few sausages and cheese, not everyone likes the English Breakfast with sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs. Very good I found the soap dispensers in the bathroom and in the shower with Dove soap and dove shower gel. In the morning there are free Irish daily newspapers. Wi-Fi is available free of charge. In the lobby there are ipads for free use.
All in all I will come back here and can really recommend the house.
A warning to subsequent holidaymakers is available: on 25.12. All of Dublin is completely paralyzed! I really mean everything!
Public transport takes place on Christmas Day on 25.12. Only by taxi, otherwise no transport possible. Taxi fare as in Germany.
Catering and pub facilities on this day only in the Holiday Inn, other hotels with attached restaurant allow only own hotel guests.
When I wanted to visit the Royal Marine Hotel on a coffee and cake in the district of Sandycove after a beach walk in the rain, I was immediately expelled from the house.
Pubs in the vicinity of O'Connell Street have been closed after my observation.

Super Hotel especially for city trips. Nice staff. Good breakfast.

Hotel modern and very clean, very well located in the centre of town. There is no parking but we found we parked not too far away. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the rooms are well equipped (hair dryer, iron and ironing board, Wi-fi free of charge and without time limit, air conditioning…), but a bit small for a long stay. Small detail, the bed in our room was very comfortable but surprisingly high!

Impeccable quality and price, central location, friendly staff, great breakfast, clean rooms. Recommended.

The hotel is very well placed to visit Dublin on foot. The staff are welcoming. The rooms are clean and spacious. There are two USB plugs to recharge phones and tablets. A hearty breakfast and at will, whether you like it continental or Irish. Everything is good (except for the line). A bit noisy at night, approaching the WE.

New, modern and functional structure.
Rooms completely modernised in the furnishings and in the bathroom, good sound proofing on the lower floors.
Strategic location: A few steps from the centre and in front of the Airlink Express stop.
Breakfast included for all guests and "free", as for all Express, discreet choice (croissants/bread/jams and some hot dishes)

The clean, Service very good. Breakfast is also Good, but only a smaller selection. You will reach all sights on foot to Belfast, there is a Bus a Tour of 2 hours. All in all, for a city tour very recommendable.

Clean, fresh and central. Everything you could ask for when visiting Dublin. The included breakfast was good aswell. Really enjoyed my stay.

Friendly, welcoming, fast and efficient service. Very impressed with the whole of our stay. The room was clean and the shower was fantastic. Would definitely stay in a Holiday Inn Express again.

Very nice hotel, close to city center. Rooms are not big but very clean. Hotel services are very good. Highly recommend.

Central, close to the bus stops from the airport. Structure new, spacious rooms with every comfort. The USB socket next to the bed. Breakfast was good choice between sweet and salty.

Excellent. Downtown. Very friendly and predisposed to be able to understand.

Hotel is good for city centre, but for me its too small, restaurant was too crowded for breakfast and seemed more like a transport cafe than what a hotel restaurant should be. Room was standard holiday inn express so cannot fault that. If you're after a good base for a stay in Dublin then this is a place you won't go wrong with.

Excellent location. Staff friendly and helpful. All hotel facilities were good. I would recommend this place.

A brand new hotel, and frankly excellent value. Good and copious breakfast, really comfortable rooms, and a great location.

If you are coming from the States, stay here! It is at the epicenter of fun! Perfect location! Best free breakfast ever! The tap water is better than bottled in the us. Hop on — Hop off buss starts 1 block away, Murrays Bar is next door (best food and bar), store on the corner, and the list goes on and on! Oh, the lobby has a 27hr bar. The Best! Unless you don't want modern. Then stay at the 500 per night places.

Our room was recently renovated and was absolutely amazing. Very spacious bathroom and room both of which are all very clean and tidy. Good selection for breakfast which is included with the room. Parking is the only issue, we ended up parking just down the road in a shopping centre overnight which cost us €36.

Booked into holiday inn express Dublin city for the weekend. Hotel, staff and facilities were perfect. Had a panic attack realised wedding ring had dropped off finger. Ran down to reception after 2.30am to night staff vaccing seating area where I had been. Gentleman even went through the dust bag to see if ring was there. Unsettled night sleep as no ring. Happy days to find it under the bed but hidden by bed leg. Big thank you to evening staff xxx.

Superb hotel. Breakfast was excellent and included the option to take away. The rooms themselves were modern in design, spotlessly cleaned everyday and minor problems were attended to almost instantly on request. Highly recommended.

I was staying in different hotels in Dublin and never had such a bad experience like with this hotel.
The first room I was given was soo small, no space for luggage, no wordrob cabinet, no place to organize your clothes, no desk to work on computer, no refrigerator, shower is very small…
Such a disappointment for being on business trip for two weeks…
After requesting the different room (dissent size for one person), they placed me in the same size room telling me that it is bigger… Seems like the people who works there have no visual or coming sense.
Such a disapointment …
If you plan to be on business trip for prolong time — never ever use this hotel. Such a disapointment …

Good central location, close to pubs and shops, bus and coach stops within a few yards. Very clean and comfortable rooms with good showers. Free hot or continental breakfast, we had the hot and it was well cooked and plenty of it.

Hotel is renovated and staff very courteous. All rooms are equipped with outlets 110, 220 and USB plugs for recharging phones and tablets. Excellent! It is in this hotel that we had the best breakfast in the free service. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, breads as well as muffins and croissants are available every morning with tea, coffee and even latte with a lot of staff to make things work smoothly. Located on the main street of Dublin not far away from restaurants and pubs. A very beautiful discovery in which we stayed 11 nights.

I love this hotel, I stay in many 5* hotels across the world and a hotel really has to do things perfect to impress me. The location is great, the staff are incredibly hard working and always carry a smile. The compact rooms are beautifully designed with so much thought that you would think it would win a red dot design award. The walk in shower is amazing and the breakfast although not lavish is fresh and tasty. It will be top of my list of places to stay when I'm back in Dublin.

I stayed for 6 nights and loved it! Clean, comfy beds, great bathrooms, good food, great customer service and good location. A little bit noisy from the bar below, we were on the 6th floor, but they were quiet later that evening. I would stay again!

Best of Dublin Good price.

I loved the place. Relatively reasonable price. It's in the heart of the city. Tram is close by. Most of the restaurants and cafes are great nearby.

Clean and well equipped.

The noise spoils everything. It is a new hotel, with friendly staff, well located, comfortable room, but … much of the rooms overlook a patio where there is a giant screen bar to watch sports and music and full of fuss until 2.3 of the morning, there are no shutters or soundproof the windows, impossible to rest. A great shame for how good the hotel is, simple but new. Little variety at breakfast, if you are Spanish toast with butter or croissant every day, and do not put amenities. High price to not be able to rest and the few details.

Very nice hotel. The service is wonderful, all the employees are really helpful and proactive. The rooms are good. And the location unbeatable. The rooms are spacious and modernly decorated. The bed was very comfortable and they offered different kinds of pillows. The bathroom wasn't very big but was still comfortable, the main downside is they do not offer shampoo and conditioner, they have one product that is conditioning shampoo and shower gel. I recommend you to take your own products as it's not very kind to your hair. The breakfast is included in all the rooms. It's not the best I've had when it comes to hotel's breakfasts but it wasn't bad either. The hotel is very well located. It's walking distance to Dublin Castle, St. Patrick Cathedral, Temple Bar, etc. And you have buses that take you everywhere else. The only downside was our room was just above the pub round the corner and it got really noisy at night because of the clients and in the morning because of the workers.

First impressions are extremely good. Obviously a very new build, everything is clean and working, the layout of my room is very nice leaves enough space to flow around the room. Has everything you need iron + board, safe and hair straightener (if you require — personally I don't) the shower room is really clean offering Dove soap dispensers. A sign on the wall also says that if you have forgotten anything reception can provide complimentary (razor, brush ect) Would definitely recommend.

Room and bathroom were very clean. Staff friendly, good service.

Have been to Dublin a few times,
But this hotel has to be the best.
Modern, clean, friendly staff, comfortable! The rooms are brilliant, comfortable bed, great bathroom and little touches for eg iron, control heating in room and plug/lights beside beds & modern TV all in room. The breakfast was gorgeous much nicer than you would get in a cafe.
They have hot food to cereal & fruit but a little thing I liked was they had " on the go bags" incase you didn't have time to sit and have breakfast. All in a fantastic stay in a fantastic location & fantastic price. Right beside the heart of Dublin, bus tours, restaurants.
I would highly recommend this hotel!
I will 100% be back.

Functional, well organized and with buffet more than enough. Centrally located but in the spacious Oconnell, with airport bus stop opposite.

Excellent, brand new hotel on O'Connell Street. It felt like the company had listened to all travellers needs and incorporated them into this hotel. Helpful, friendly staff. Free Wi-Fi, good bathroom, comfy beds, lots of neat in room touches like USB points, separate area for luggage storage and hanging clothes. The breakfast buffet is a as good as you would get in a much swankier hotel. There is a bar as well. 10/10 Hope it maintains its standards.

Smelling new, located in one of the busiest streets of Dublin, close to restaurants and bars, breakfast although not a lot is very good everything is very fresh and with good season. Everything is a few steps away from the hotel. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. In excellent summary!

Price was reasonable room was great very clean and up to date and breakfast was good good choice would cone back very central as well.
