Staff here is exceptional. Extremely helpful during our stay in Dublin. We attempted to check in just before 4:45 PM and our room wasn't ready. So the staff set us up with a couple of beers to relax with while they did finishing touches on our room. The beer was nice and cold and bar tender was very friendly. The room was spotless and housekeeping did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. The security at this hotel is tight which made it a safe place to stay. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the temple bar area and even the zoo. Make sure you get your discount for parking as it makes a huge difference in the cost to park a car. My only complaint is the beds here are extremely firm. I have a bad back so it tore me up. Despite the bed I will return due to the location and staff here. read more

Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre - Hotels Near Me - Dublin, D

I recently went on vacation and spent two nights in Dublin. I selected this hotel due to its proximity and because of the fact that they offered free breakfast. This hotel is centrally located in the city centre, making it rather easy to visit sites around town and even more convenient to get here by bus from the airport. We were happy with the room as it was good enough for two people. It seemed rather new, so no complaints there. The breakfast was okay. I loved the coffee machine they had, but the sausage and eggs were not for me. I wish we had time to visit the bar next door (called Murray's I think), but we were too tired still adjusting to the time difference. Overall, a decent hotel to stay in the city centre of Dublin. read more

This was a perfect spot. Walking distance to everything, breakfast was good, the people were helpful and kind

Convenient location right down town. Super easy to get to and from the airport (Aircoach stops right outside) and easy to walk to many top tourist attractions and museums. And of course breakfast was so nice to have right downstairs and included with the stay. read more

Great location in city center off of O'Connell Street. Walking distance to everything. Two Irish pubs (out of over 700 to choose from in Dublin) right next door, a cafe to the left, open lobby concept inside, and includes complimentary breakfast for all guests however the breakfast isn't that great... After checking in, went to our large room on the sixth floor. Window was open and the AC was off - took a couple of hours to cool down our room. We did have a great city view overlooking O'Connell Street and it was quiet once it started to get dark around 9 or 10 pm. At night and early in the morning, everything is card access. To access the elevators, you need your room card at all times. Parking was a hassle so be careful if you rent a vehicle. Before you drive up to the hotel, look for QPark building on the left hand side. The hotel does give a discount, we returned our rental one day early but less than a full day in the parking garage - still costed 21 euros. A few things the hotel lacks: lotion, washcloths, slippers, ice machine read more

The hotel is conveniently located as you're able to walk to many attractions. It is also next to a bar on a busy street, so there was street noise. Breakfast is included, but it was average at best. I didn't care for the square toilet seats either. read more

The hotel was decent, somewhat expensive although I guess you pay for being close to the center of the city. It cost more than advertised because I ended up being charged almost 40 Euros for parking at a nearby structure. When I called to set up the reservation I was told I would receive a voucher for parking. They failed to tell me that it was only good for 4 Euros and of course you only find out when you are leaving. I find this very sleazy and dishonest. It is unpleasant being ripped off while on vacation so I will avoid this hotel and company in the future. read more

This is honestly a great hotel in Dublin City Center. It is reasonably priced and close to many places you would want to walk to. The only things that made the stay not the best was there was always a party somewhere in the hotel and staff did not try much to help keep the noise down. There were a few evenings during our stay that we hadn't had sleep. Besides that, everything was clean and we would stay here again for the price! read more

This hotel is very modern. Breakfast and wi-fi is included. We didn't eat breakfast due to an early flight. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room has many cool amenities. The bed was very comfortable with your choice of soft or firm pillows and pull out bed lights. The chair in the room can recline or sit upright to fit your needs. There our USB and standard power outlets available. The hairdryer and ironing board are behind the mirror to the right of the entry door. They don't have their own parking but there is a parking garage available for a discount just a short walk behind the hotel. You will need to get the parking ticket validated when you check out at the front desk. The location on Upper O'Connell Street is perfect for exploring Dublin. You can walk to everything in the city. read more

A great find in Dublin! Room rates were reasonable, and comes with a huge Irish breakfast. Hotel is very new and nicely designed. Rooms are little small, to be expected in Europe. Also the people who complained about the pub making noise have obviously never been to Ireland. You will get noisy pubs on weekends (or big sporting events) anywhere in the city. The location is perfect for tourists. Lots of places to walk to. read more

Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre - Breakfast area. - Hotels Near Me - Dublin, D

We arrived early for check in, super early coming off of a 6 hour flight. The front desk attendant was very nice and looked to see if there was a room available and there was. We were able to get checked in early and the room is great. It's small but big enough for what we needed. There was nice security for the building and the late night food options was nice as well. Oh and I love a latte which is exactly what I had at 10pm tonight and it was delicious. I'd stay here again. My only set back on the hotel is that what I was offered for free during breakfast, coffee and tea, is $3.50 after breakfast is over. I don't think the hotel would lose that much money if it were free all the time. Just a suggestion. read more

As we check out of this AWESOME hotel....Let me say that this place is excellent!!! From feather pillows (upon request) to every amenity you'd need. The staff is very friendly, professional & extremely helpful. However, stay up high & away from the front facing rooms due to noise from Oconnell Street. Hope this helps Slaint'e read more

This is a hotel done right. We stayed at this property for 2 nights, and had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Our experience at the hotel: Pros: + Ideal location in the heart of Dublin, about a 10 minute (sober) walk from Temple Bar if that's your scene. + If you are taking the bus from the airport, it drops you off (and picks you up) literally in front of the hotel. + Excellent breakfast offered, which was free, as is the case at HIX. + Service from the staff in addressing any questions we had, was flawless. + Despite being on a busy thoroughfare, the hotel did an excellent construction and engineering job and we could not hear anything from the street. Cons: - The rooms are cozy, meaning you don't have as much space to spread out as you may want. All things considered, this would be a prime hotel for us to consider upon a return visit to Dublin. read more

This is a privately owned hotel that is not associated nor ran the same as most Ihg hotels. They have their own set of rules. Rude and inconsiderate owners especially the general manager. They will never get my business here ever again. Be sure to review your overall bill. They may charge you whatever they feel like on your bill without giving you notice beforehand. They are money hungry and could care less about you or your circumstances. Not a nice way to treat a diamond elite member. THEY ALSO HAVE ROACHES. read more

That's Correct: In the heart of Dublin. Where all the action is. You can go either direction: Irish Pubs and Food. Hotel is Very Clean and new face lift. $$$ is good for the location and it even has a bar. My room faces the street and I can see all the action. read more

The rooms are typical british rooms (small) but comfortable. The rooms are also designed, the room service is nice and the food is OK. The location is great- at the city centre. Close to the cinema, museums, restaurants and more. I recommend the hotel. read more

One night stay to check out Dublin. City buses and tour buses stop right outside. Near shopping and entertainment, but at the edge of the hustle so not quite as loud. Hotel staff was very friendly, great breakfast selection, spacious room with comfortable beds. Overall would highly recommend! read more

Overpriced Hotel 400 euro for one night all because there was a concert on in Croke Park. Loud music can be heard from the property joined on to the Hotel to at least 2.30am ! we contacted reception to be told the rooms are soundproofed close the window. I wasn't happy. The night porter came to our room and was sympathetic. he said it's like this all week end. He said don't worry it should end soon. that was at 1.30am ! it didn't. It went on for another hour. Management not interested in my complaint. they said it's because your are in a City Centre Hotel. we got NO sleep !! This is not acceptable. Horrible place. AVOID. ! read more

With Trip Advisor stellar reviews and a reasonable nightly rate on Hotels.com, I booked two rooms at the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre for our thee days of exploring Dublin. The rooms had been booked via Hotels.com for a cash rate of €85 per night and for a hotel that's in the top 10 on TripAdvisor in Dublin, I'd say this was a very good rate. Plus the fairly central location and the recent renovation of the entire property had great appeal at the time of booking. The hotel was newly renovated in 2016 and the property shines with it's fresh update. The rooms are well appointed and the ground floor features a large breakfast buffet area, a night time bar with a variety of beers, and lots of comfy seating. Located the north side of the River Liffey, the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre is on Upper O'Connell Street in the city centre (as the name implies). The location is decently convenient but it's a long walk to many of the main attractions on the south side of the Liffey. Relative to location, my only dislike being the lack of good restaurants close to the hotel. You need to walk several blocks to get away from the most touristic restaurants and fast food on Upper O'Connell Street. But one of the reasons I selected this hotel was due to it's location right next to the 747 Airlink bus to Dublin Airport. We had a rental car for the majority of our trip in Ireland but returned it once we had arrived back in Dublin. We'd be using the 747 Airlink bus to get to and from Dublin Airport. Service was very good overall at the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre. There was always lots of staff at the front desk so a helpful staff member was always accessible. Check-in was easy and even though official check-in time is 3 PM, we were able to access our rooms at 2 PM on arrival. But one of my favorite things about the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre was the complimentary full breakfast buffet and the friendliness of the breakfast room staff. Most breakfasts this robust require a surcharge but like many Holiday Inn Express properties, the breakfast was included in the standard nightly rate. Each morning, the staff was full of smiles and chatter. My Dad loves to talk to any strangers and he enjoyed a morning conversation with the folks at the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre. Everything in the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre was remodeled from the ground up and the rooms are certainly no exception. Our rooms were at the long corridor on the second floor but I think the walk was worth the extra quiet and a nice view out onto the adjacent street. The double room was tastefully modern; well-appointed with some nice amenities. The double bed had fresh, cozy linens and small bedside shelves with plenty of power ports, USB outlets, and bedside lighting. There were two small storage areas with a small nook for the iron and ironing board and an open coat storage area where the in-room safe was located. The bathroom was spacious with a roomy walk-in shower. I loved the full-sized Dove body wash in the shower and hand soap on the counter. The towels were plush and soft. The room climate was comfortable and I loved the spacious windows overlooking the city streets below. The room was well thought out and the modern decor was stylish but comfortable. If you've read any of my previous reviews, you know that cleanliness is very important to me and the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre didn't let me down. Everything in the room was near spotless and the bathroom was sparkling clean. Overall, the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre is a winner in my book. The reasonable rate, the central location, and modern style all added up to a nice experience. I am not necessarily a huge IHG property follower but I do appreciate a consistent experience that the majority of their hotel properties offer. While the location isn't perfect for my preference, it's an all-around great choice in Dublin. read more

Lovely place. Great staff. Beds comfortable. Do not accept first floor noisy. I would come back. They moved us to the 6 th floor. Great management read more

The property is great. Clean, new, modern and the perfect location in proximity to all of the sites in Dublin. The rooms were really nice and had a lot of the great amenities that you would expect from a major hotel. The staff was excellent as well. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars was because of the car situation. We were on a road trip and I expected major chain hotels like this to have car accessibility, but this one had absolutely none. The hotel is on a busy one-sided street and is difficult enough to get to, but then once you get there, there's absolutely no place to stop and check-in or unload luggage. I finally was able to check-in and found out that the hotel had no parking and would have to go to an unaffiliated lot down the block. Not the best design, but other than that this was a very good stay. read more

This is the best Holiday Inn Express I've ever stayed at! The rooms were fairly spacious and comfortable. There was a bar with great beers on tap in the lobby. The complimentary breakfast was more than adequate. Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, nasty looking beans, plenty of starches like croissants and toast. Coffee machine made American coffee and espresso drinks. The staff was very helpful. Location was good- about a 10 minute walk to the Temple Bar area. Great value for this place and I highly highly recommend! read more

I met a colleague in the lobby in this ultra modern and very comfortable lobby. This is a brand new hotel centrally located and very clean and crisp looking from outside and all the way through. There is a really clever projected map on entrance wall and inside modern comfy seats/sofas. The bar and dining is all open plan and the place is buzzing-will have to stay here next!! read more

Worst hotel ever. This gives a bad name to Holiday Inn. There is a club downstairs like the other reviewer said. There was loud music until 3 am. Yes, I agree that the hotel has a modern design, but a good night sleep is the most important thing. Do not stay in this hotel if you want a good night sleep. read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Came in on a red eye flight and arrived at the hotel at 7am. My reservation did not allow me to check in until 3pm. We just went to drop our bags off at the desk until check-in, but they had a room available immediately and let us check-in very early. Nap time! This was extremely helpful as we were very tired from our long flight itinerary. Got some need rest and woke up in time to go out for the afternoon/evening. read more

Great location, friendly staff, excellent free breakfast and comfortable beds. Rooms are kind of basic but they were clean and the shower was excellent. A very good choice if you want to be close to the action in Dublin. read more

We were in Dublin for 3 nights and loved this hotel. We landed at 5am local time and were camped out in the lobby with their excellent free breakfast [eggs, sausage, cereals, toasts], and they were super accommodating about getting us into our room hours before the normal check in time so we could nap and get back out to see the sites. The hotel is also a stop on the bus line for the AirLink bus service that brings you to and from the airport for only 6euro. Quiet, brand new interior but you're right in the heart of it all. Any of my friends who express interest in going to Dublin, I am recommending this hotel to them, no discussion I wouldn't stay anywhere else. read more

I read all the amazing reviews before booking but I feel like I was not warned or prepared for the experience. There is a nightclub under the hotel that is VERY loud until 3am - so loud that you can hear the lyrics and sing along to every song that plays. The hotel provides earplugs but it is just too loud that they don't help, we had to wait until 3am when the music stopped to fall asleep. I know the hotel can't do much, but just a warning for anyone else who wants to book here and go to sleep at a reasonable time. read more

After seeing my complaint online, the hotel got in contact with me about my lost items and worked with me (somewhat inefficiently but we eventually figured it out) to get them mailed back. Otherwise nice and clean hotel in a good location if you want to be in the middle of everything in Dublin. read more

Our room was large, clean, modern and inviting. The people at the front desk are all very cordial and accommodating. The breakfast is very nice with many items to please; however, one thing that I missed was cheese. It was not offered. They did offer a vegan sausage. The logistics of getting to the elevator was weird. The elevator is on another level which has to be approached by climbing several steps and then putting the passkey to a reader which then unlocks the door to get to the elevator lobby and steps. This causes a major major problem when trying to maneuver with luggage. You have to get the luggage up the steps, try to get the key at the right spot to unlock the door and struggle to get the luggage into the elevator lobby while trying to keep the door open. The worst part was getting the luggage up the steps. I believe there is enough space to put in a ramp. When I expressed this to the manager he pointed out to me that a small lift was put in for this purpose. I did see this lift (it was way in the corner) but was under the impression that this was for handicapped use. It did not occur to me to use this and neither did I think that it occurred to others as I never saw anyone using it. I did see many people struggling to pull their luggage up the steps. The receptionists need to make this clear that there is a lift to help with the luggage. Better yet Holiday Inn, put in a ramp!!! Except for this our stay at this hotel was very nice. It is located within walking distance of many restaurants and shopping areas as well as (if you are a walker) any of the sites you want to see. We walked everywhere and did not use any of the public transportation. read more

I had high hopes for this hotel. Booked a trip for my birthday but unfortunately the flight was cancelled due to the grounding of the 737's with no other available flights. Any other time of the year the cancellation policy is 24 hours but because it was near St. Patrick's day the cancellation policy required a weeks notice. I cancelled the 12th the day the flight was cancelled (and 5 days before my reservation) but needed to cancel by the 10th. I called to explain to the hotel that it was out of my control but they insisted it was policy and charged me the full $900. I provided my flight information as proof and tried to compromise by stating I would pay the first night as a penalty which was $300. I was eventually told by corporate I would receive a refund....only to receive a call a week later saying "sorry we are cancelling the refund" Beyond disappointed with this hotel and company's "customer service"...prime example of corporate greed. read more

The location is perfect and the hotel is new with a metro minimalist flair. However, the service is also minimalist and lacks warmth and friendliness. read more
