Conrad Dublin

Francisco the Concierge is great! I asked last night what time the retaurant would open for breakfast, because our tour bus leaves at 630am. Since restaurant is open at 7am, Francisco offered to pack us breakfast for our trip and brought us hot and good coffee before we left.
Great service and two thumbs up! Now, we won’t get hungry– happy travelers.
THANK YOU– always love the Conrad Hotels.
The bed, the bed, is huge and very comfy…

The Conrad is as good a hotel as there is in Dublin. With a great location and the usual top notch Hilton service, this is a perfect option if you want to stay close to the city center. Having said that, I must note that this instance of the Conrad brand is not nearly as nice as the ones in, say, Singapore or Hong Kong. The lobby area is nice and well appointed, the staff courteous. Granted, I’m a Hilton Honors gold member, so I expect a certain level of service. But the décor seems a bit lacking in the kind of luxury I identify with the Conrad brand.
The rooms are decently sized and decorated, but there is noticeable wear and tear throughout. The best part of the room are the bed and linens. The mattress is just the right firmness and the linens soft and silky; both aimed to ensure a solid night sleep.
Should you stay at the Conrad, be sure to add the breakfast to your room rate. It’s one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had. The buffet features all of the makings for a full Irish, as well as porridge, cereals and some of the best pastries I’ve had. If none of this is to your fancy or if you are extra hungry, nearly all items off the menu can be ordered. The exceptions are the steak and eggs and Benedict. If nothing else, order some brown bread toast so you can enjoy the outstanding Irish butter, which is the best in the world.
I wasn’t so keen on the lobby bar. It is a bit stuffy and clearly caters to the older theatre crowd set (the National Concert Hall is across the street.) I had one of the worst pints of Guinness ever at this bar, so will not be returning. Far better is the pub in the basement, Alfie Byrne’s. Amazing selection of local craft beer and upscale pub grub. I’ve written a separate review on that place.
I’m heading back there in about a month and will update this review after a week there.

Nice room. I loved the bathroom. Bed was firm but comfy. Good location right below St. Stephens Green with an easy walk to Grafton St shopping, many pubs and we also walked to the Cathedrals. Limo to/​from airport will run you about 28 to 30 euros. Room service was good except for the pizza (but I learned not to order pizza in Ireland). The chips/​fries are awesome and ribeye was very good. The concierge was awesome and helped us with booking a place in Cashel (our next destination) when our cell phones wouldn’t work. I would definately stay here again.

Just been to the Conrad Hotel in Dublin City Centre. Upon entering this hotel you expect ‘Hilton’ ambiance and service. I experienced neither this afternoon. Granted I was only after a coffee in the lounge area but I will not be rushing back to spend anymore money in the hotel.
The reception and lounge area need to be refurbished. There are more than enough luxury hotels in Dublin City Centre that are more tastefully decorated. The bathrooms in the reception area have no hot water — but they were clean.
The furniture is shabby in the lounge area. There was one staff member serving in this area. It was not busy but the service was not to the usual ‘Hilton’ standards. I was waiting a while to be served. Eventually I had to call the staff member over. I witnessed another table also having to do the same. The staff member was not friendly, nor was there any apology for the delay in serving us.
As I said given the choice in Dublin City, I would give this place a miss.

Customer Service is the standout feature at this hotel.

I’m astonished Hilton put the «Conrad» stamp on this ! Deplorable !!! I’ve stayed in several other Conrads, this is NOT CONRAD STANDARDS! My husband and I visited and made plans for this to be our base as we explored, we left after the first night ! Being a diamond member you expect more from Hilton. From the check in to the check out it was just sub par ! Do yourself a favor go to the newer HILTON in Kilmainham!

Great hotel for 4 night stay in Dublin. Staff was professional and attentive. Rooms were updated, clean, cozy bed, and I loved that they had international adapters near the desk with the correct voltage for out of country phones and hair dodads.
It appeared like an older crowd was mostly staying there but my husband and I (in our 30’s) weren’t looking to mingle or meet anyone so that didn’t really matter :) (may matter to some)
It was in an excellent location. Every time we wanted to explore the city we got to walk through Saint Stephens Green. Also the restaurants near were top notch. Merrion Row/​Baggot, street around the corner had excellent food spots. Hugo, Pearl, FXB, and Brookwood.

Good hotel. Modern and clean with comfortable beds. Centrally located, although still a bit of a hike from the Liffey and Temple Bar area. St. Stephens Green is a lovely part of Dublin, however, and this hotel is straight across from the National Theatre, so it’s convenient if you’re in town to see a show. The bar in the hotel lobby caters to the theatre/​symphony crowd — tasteful offerings and wonderful dessert choices. I was surprised by how crowded the place was at 11pm on a Friday night. I would highly recommend checking out the bar, however. The food was much better than I’d expected.
Service at this Conrad was outstanding, with every staff member going to great lengths to be helpful and accommodating with doors, luggage, umbrellas and all the hassles of traveling in a big city with frequent rain. The rooms are average-​sized, although the washrooms are very large by European standards. Really enjoyed not falling directly into the toilet when climbing out of the shower, like in most other places.
Overall, I’d stay in this Conrad again. Knowing that there will be a certain standard is nice. It also won’t break the bank. Not cheap, but pretty good value for money.

I went here for lunch yesterday. The steak sandwich was just ok. It came on really nice crispy ciabatta with a sweet onion marmalade and blue cheese. There was supposed to be chunky chips. While they were nice they were definitely not chunky! Skinny fries for sure. There was no salad or garnish of any kind which is why I dropped a couple of stars. They did have lovely loose leaf tea which made up for the lunch somewhat but the little nibble of a biscuit they put on the saucer was a joke it was so small!
The lounge itself and the bathrooms were very cold and we moved seats trying to warm up. Nice bright room but lacking atmosphere. Expensive enough for what you get.

The hotel is nice and the staff is ok. But the breakfast was impossible to eat. The waiting time at the bar was also insane.
Not the level of a Conrad

Location is super centrally located so, great for walking.
Parking underneath hotel is a plus, but expensive.
Rooms and amenities are nice. Rooms seem renovated relative to hallways.
If a business traveler, and commuting to the North side, can be a bit of a pain especially on the way back (you are talking an extra 10 minutes of commute)
Gym is in the basement so a bit sad. A few cardio machines (treadmill, bikes, etc.) with built in TV/​internet, then 3 benches for dumbells up to ~40lbs/​20kg or so, and a cable machine, and a couple leg machines. Central TVs. Towels, cold water, some apples.

What a wonderful hotel and experience in Dublin. It was our last night on our vacation and we definitely enjoyed the fantastic service and accommodations that the Conrad provided.

Great business hotel in the Center of Dublin.
The staff and concierge were all exceptional. My family and I stayed for 3 nights and it was superb. The location is central and great for business travel. One night the wireless went down and we all received personal apologies with complementary wine and chocolates. The wifi was restored a bit later and was no nuisance.
Downstairs is also a great place to grab a cup of coffee in the morning and savour the newspaper.
I would not recommend this for hotel for groups traveling with children, simply because it is more business and adult friendly.

Wi-​fi is not free. We had to pay 5euros a day for it. To use the tv you have to navigate a while past the paid programming. The penny pinching was annoying but the hotel itself was very clean and modern.

A well maintained property in the Victorian section of Dublin, within walking distance of many things of interest. The service here is top-​notch for Ireland. The staff is friendly, polite, happy to be of service to you. I have stayed at Conrad’s in Asia, North America, and now Dublin. This property doesn’t hold a candle to the ones in Asia in terms of architecture, size, or staff to guest ratios but neither does the one in Chicago. This property does, however, deliver a very solid top end stay within Dublin and I was happy with everything including the room size (large for Europe), a North American style tub/​shower (no ridiculous half glass partition for a shower curtain that allows water to go everywhere in the bathroom except the bathtub drain), a nice location and some really good pub food although it is pricey. I did have the best fish and chips of the trip here but it also cost 17 euros. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

I travel for a living. This hotel is top-​notch.
We checked in at 11:30 pm on late arrival. We booked through
and our reservation had not made it to the hotel. The gentleman at the front desk was very kind, and even gave us an upgrade to the deluxe room because of the error on the website’s behalf.
The hotel is spotlessly clean, and the staff was still polishing tables and working, despite the late hour. One employee in particular, Francisco, was amazing. He brought room service late one night on my stay. He also noticed I had the sniffles from a cold and brought me a box of tissues in a small bag while I was in the Lobby Lounge. Another time, my fiancé asked for toothpaste at the front desk and it made it back to the room before he did!
THE BED is the most comfortable bed I have had the pleasure of sleeping on. I’m still dreaming about the silky soft cotton sheets and beautiful fluffy king sized pillows. Seriously some of the best sleep I have had in Ireland.
The location is good enough. A 6 euro cab ride (from one of the many waiting cabs in queue outside) will get you around most places if you don’t want to walk. St. Stephen’s Green is literally on the corner.
I can’t speak to all of the hotel food, but the chicken club at the Lounge was tasty. I tend not to eat where I sleep. Check out Green 19 for lunch or Dunne & Crescenza for dinner.
I have no negative comments about any part of this hotel. It is perfection, even down to the thick, quilted toilet paper.

My wife & I stayed at two properties while in Dublin. It was a Marriott vs Hilton showdown… Shelbourne vs Conrad. Really close battle, but Shelbourne takes the win.
Here’s are my quick thoughts on the Conrad:
— Great location ½ block from Stephen’s Green
— Basic room provides great night’s sleep and the bathroom is a cut above even in the standard room
— Breakfast buffet was a good spread
— Possibly one of the best Diamond benefits I’ve ever heard of is free Valet (unheard of)
— If you’re used the newer Conrad’s in the US, it’s worth noting this is an older property. However, it exceptionally maintained
— Internet has to be one of the most annoying internet setups I’ve run into — what happened to room number and last name?
— Gym is 1989 — terrible
— Wife thought the hotel lobby smelled like the W Vieques which is always a plus

Gute Lage am St. Stephen’s Green; ich war auf einer Konferenz im Trinity College, zu Fuß 10 min., Shopping in Grafton Street und abends Kneipen in Temple Bar in walking distance; es gibt leider keinen Executive Floor; Zimmer und Frühstück 4-​sterne gemäß; gute Cocktails auch ohne Alkohol in einer netten Bar in der Lobby

I can’t review the service in the rooms, as I was only in the lounge areas a couple of times to meet colleagues and have a drink or two. Comfortable seating in a very open area, the bartender came to the tables to take drink orders. One Guinness, four half-​and-​half Guinness/​Smithwicks and a Heineken. Not terribly expensive.
The hotel room I did see briefly (to store my suitcase with a colleague) looked decently comfortable enough with plenty of light and space with a good work desk area.
Note that the Conrad is a five-​star member of the Hilton chain.

Business hotel, good location, very good and attentive service.
Excellent breakfast that is free if you are on of the lucky ones who stay at too many Hilton properties.
We were able to walk all over Dublin with this as our home base.

This classic yet contemporary hotel is located opposite the National Concert Hall which makes it in walking distance of most of Dublin’s sights and main streets so perfect for tourists with money to burn.
The rooms are light and airy and painted and decorated in calming muted tones but if you can afford it go for the fab Presidential Suite. The suite is pure indulgence with great views, plasma screen tv. home cinema option and a dining room for up to 12 guests!!!
There is a great cocktail bar and a wonderful seafood restaurant on the ground floor and a traditional Irish bar, which lays on great bbq’s during the summer months. These bbq’s are a great way to meet people and free tour guides as they are really popular with locals as well as hotel guests!

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, gleich neben dem Park St. Stephens Green und ist somit idealer Ausgangspunkt für viele Unternehmungen. Ich habe von hier aus fast alles zu Fuß gemacht!
Vom Flughafen aus empfiehlt sich die Busverbindung mit dem Aircoach bis zur Haltestelle Leeson Street, von hier sind es nur ein paar hundert Meter bis zum Hotel (kostet inkl. Rückfahrt zum beliebigen Zeitpunkt 14.- Euro).
Ich hatte ein Classic Zimmer gebucht — also das billigste Zimmer.
Sehr sauberes Zimmer, Bademantel, Pantoffel und ganz tolle Pflegeprodukte. Zimmer war sehr ruhig, Ausblick aber in Hinterhof. Neben TV gab’s auch noch eine Mini-​Musik-​Anlage mit CD-​Player im Zimmer.
Ferner gibt es im Zimmer einen Schreibitsch, kleine Sitzgruppe, Safe, Bügeleisen auch ein Regenschirm war im Schrank zu finden.
Badezimmer mit Wanne und viel Abstellmöglichkeiten.
WLAN ist kostenlos, allerdings nur im EG (Foyer, Frühstücksraum, Restaurant) verfügbar.
Frühstücks-​Buffet (interkontinental und irisch) ist ebenfalls ganz ok, aber nichts außergewöhnliches. Auf Wunsch bekommt man neben dem üblichen Kaffee oder Tee auch Latte Macchiatto.
Als sehr angenehm empfunden habe ich die enorme Freundlichkeit des ganzen Personals!
Fazit: Ich war total begeistert von meiner Hotelwahl, da es einfach von der Lage her absolut empfehlenswert ist.
Allerdings muss ich auch gestehen, dass ich aufgrund einer Sonderaktion sehr wenig für 3 Nächte bezahlt habe (285.- inkl. Frühstück).
