Hilton Dublin

The room is not big enough for us to open our luggage. They say it is to bad that they don’t have bigger rooms. I would not recommend staying here with 3 people to a room.

Nice comfortable rooms. Excellent breakfast. Very pleasant outdoor staying area.
The hotel is conveniently located close to St Stephens Green. Luas line right on the door. If you are visiting this hotel, please take the opportunity to visit Ranelagh to the south. Ranelagh has a truly lovely village feel and always worth a visit for a night out.

Ist auch nicht mehr das, was es mal war…
Das Personal ist allerdings sehr freundlich und verbindlich.

I am writing this a bit early as I have 4 more days here, but I think after staying two nights and my constant stays at Hilton I can review this early. The overall appearance of the Hotel is great. There is ample parking in the garage below and only 10 euro’s a night if staying here. I have the benefit of Hilton Honors so I arrived with numerous drink vouchers, free breakfasts while we stay here, free parking and daily newspaper and waters daily. The service at Hiltons are unmatched by any other chain hotel I have been to. The service has been great. I do agree with some of the other Unilocalers that the cost for food is a bit high for what you get, as are the cocktails. The location though is great, with numerous restaurants and pubs in close walking distance (one great pub across the street (Barge Pub). There is a nice canal that runs across the front that you can run along for miles as well.
I would give it 5 stars if the cost of food was more in line with what you get. Also the wifi is a pain, as it logs you off automatically if inactive. For me, as other people who are often tied to email/​work, it is important to have emails being dropped in as they come in or texts when using wifi (since I am from overseas). I have to log back in every 30 minutes to check. I still would stay here anytime!

I’ve stayed there a couple of times. The rooms were nothing special, even if the price would get you a top class room in other hotels. I had a member of staff intrude on my room early in the morning — clearly they don’t communicate very well which rooms are occupied.
The restaurant, called Stil, is nice for lunch. However, the low tables are unsuitable for eating from. Fortunately, they have some higher tables, but not many. The look and ambiance if the area is good though.
The staff are generally friendly, in a paid-​to-​be-​nice kind of way. They’re polite, but once they leave your table, it can be an effort to get one of them back if you need them. When you have to be somewhere after lunch, that can be annoying.
Their coffee is among the worst I have tasted, but luckily there are a couple of good coffee shops close by. The food is nice, but well overpriced for what it is. A sandwich is still a sandwich, even if you give it a fancy name and charge double for it.

Stayed here for four nights this week. Everything a business traveler needs: fitness center, full hot buffet breakfast, wi-​fi, desk included in price. On the waterway with a nice bike path and train access in front. Friendly and fast service.
Walking distance to my office. I will stay here again!

Have been to a few conferences here. Food is decent, rooms are spacious & airy, snacks for tea break are great. However I was told that they would «validate» my parking, by which they actually meant «You can pay at reception rather than using the ticket machine». € 9 for 3 hours is pretty hefty!

Very happy with my early 10a check in. Room had good air conditioning. Bathroom had shower gel, Peter Thomas Roth shampoo and conditioner, soap. Good hot waster nice shower. In room safe. The bed linens were very soft, beds very hard. The curtains had the slightest gap which was a bit annoying. Window opened up well for fresh breezes. Canal is nice walk. Double glazed, room was very quiet on 5^th floor. Mini bar has auto charge, so I couldn’t use as a fridge for groceries. Wifi fast and hair dryer worked. Staff was very nice, lobby comfy.
The Luas train station didn’t really go many of the places I’d hoped just up to St Stephens Green for shopping. For temple bar and further bus or taxi. From airport the airbus stop closest to hotel takes you about a 10 min walk. Also there is a doubletree Hilton, so don’t go there instead.

My second visit to the Hilton Dublin Hotel, Charlemont Place, on the Canal. I also choose the Marriott Shelbourne Dublin, St. Stephen’s Green, which also treats me well.
Pluses:
+ Usual comfy Hilton beds
+ ½ mile walk to Grafton street, or use the LUAS Tram, GREEN Line, adjacent to the property
+ Friendly, helpful staff
+ 24-​hour fitness center
Gripes:
— One annoyance: After re-​logging into Wi-​FI 7 times to use my iPhone over a few hours, I gave up. This hotel’s Wi-​Fi can’t be more annoying for guests. This also happened with my PC in the room as well as the iPad. Re-​logging into Wi-​Fi once a day per device is annoying enough. This is much worse.
— No Executive Lounge (or coupon to compensate). Seems like something is missing from the Hilton Way. I learned upon check-​out that an Executive Lounge is under consideration. Do it!
Warning: My Corporate Travel Dept booked the hotel thru Expedia and HHonors points and stay credit were denied. Big disappointment. Upon complaint, HHonors made a one-​time credit as a courtesy. Just be aware that Hilton doesn’t treat all revenue equally.
Tip: Choose a room with a Canal view if available.

The Hilton feels like a Hilton — large, open lobby, a couple of restaurants and a large checkout desk with smiling people behind the desk to help you.
The Hilton lobby has been renovated recently since it does appear to be more updated than the rooms. The rooms are pretty large with a comfortable queen-​sized bed, desk and a lounge chair. The bathrooms are not very new but clean and large. The room was quiet despite being located on a pretty busy road.
The hotel has continental breakfast for 10.50 € (I think it was 14.50 € for full hot breakfast), but I was pretty impressed by the continental breakfast — lots of options, tasty muffins and a cappuccino machine. I also are at the bar/​restaurant a couple of times and the food there was solid.
Workout room was of decent size — and it was surprisingly busy when I was there. A couple of ellipticals, stationary bikes and treadmills, a number of free weights and an area tucked in the back for mat-​based work.

Over Easter Weekend 2013, my father and I stayed here as part of a two-​week Europe vacation. Staff greeted us on arrival with friendly advice about the weekend in Dublin due to the holiday. They provided us with valuable information that we may have otherwise not know about.
Quality of the rooms were excellent! Recent renovations had clearly been done. Maid service was excellent as well as the concierge services. As it was Good Friday when we arrived, we dined at the hotel that day. Food was excellent, and the waitress we had was more than accommodating. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!

I have only ever used the Hilton for work training events so I can only judge the conference rooms and the food. The rooms are great i must say, really big with all the facilities you could require.
They put out a great tea and coffee break spread with mini pastries and biscuits.
The buffet style lunches are nice, nothing fantastic though. The meat was a bit dry as it was sitting there a while but otherwise it was nice.

First off we had to wait for our rooms. We made reservation months in advance and when we arrive (10am) told us our room would not be available till after 1pm. Give me a break. So not getting into our room till 1:30pm we took a little rest and started our day. Glad we like to walk because its a trek to downtown. But thats ok. The beds were terrible. I haven’t had my back feel like that in years. So not a big fan of this hotel.

I haven’t stayed here but I booked it several times for my parents so I got to check out the rooms etc.
Very spacious and nicely decorated. It’s in a quiet location which is great yet at the same time you are only a 20 minute stroll into the city centre. The Luas is located right beside it too.
It’s great the refurbishment that they have done along the canal as it allows for a lovely jaunt should you so wish.
The breakfast options were great too, several options for the more indulgent or the more health conscious.
Very friendly staff and the bright open lobby is very welcoming.

This Hilton was a great spot to start our 12 day tour or Ireland. It is conveniently located near shopping and bars and only a few miles from the Dublin Zoo. The room was very nice and the beds were very comfortable although I did find it strange that the king beds were just two twins put together.

I visited Dublin for a short romantic weekend with the fiancée and Priceline sent us to the Hilton. Not only did the hotel very generously allow us to check-​in after our epic red-​eye, but gave us an incredibly comfortable room. Although small by American standards, it was larger than I expect in Europe. I would recommend requesting a room over the canal, because our room had the courtyard flood lights pointed into the window. Also… we discovered that this hotel is quite close to the cute neighborhood of Renelegh with much more authentic feeling restaurants/​bears than the St Stevens Green area to the north.

Room was nice and very comfortable… once we worked out how to use the aircon!
Pretty much what you expect from a Hilton, staff were all very friendly and polite… food in the bar was slightly over priced but nice.
Breakfast was good, lots of choice and plenty to go round. Worth noting on a sat/​sun breakfast runs from 8 until 12! yes till noon. Very handy after a night of one too many Guinness’s!
Bit out of the main hustle and bustle, which was nice, right next to a tram stop, so you can get to at Stephens green for € 1.30 or something, so very good.
Cab from the airport cost € 28 – 35, again not too bad.
Overall good, clean hotel with friendly staff

Although the location is not centrally located, there is a Luas stop right outside the hotel — you are two stops away from St. Stephen’s Green.
The rooms were just okay, but the staff were friendly enough to make it tolerable.
Breakfast was classic Hilton — and that was good.

I took time out for a dinner and drinks with some friends at the Hilton last night. I must say, they have a very nice spread. The bar (called Stil) has a chic layout and the bartenders know their way around a cocktail glass. They also have a nice selection of top shelf liquors that you won’t find in many pubs around Ireland. They are, however, not cheap. It’s well worth it for a few drinks on the odd occasion, but you wouldn’t be stopping off here on a regular basis.
The dinner that followed was a bit of a let down. The staff were brilliant — friendly, attentive, and they really made the experience quite enjoyable but the food was quite bland. There was nothing exciting on the menu and even the things that appeared exciting came off as lacking seasoning or in many cases taste. It was food, it looked good, but it just wasn’t that good.
If I were rating this strictly based on the drinks and staff it would be five stars, but the food in the restaurant (Uisce) wouldn’t get higher than two on a good day. Because of that I think even a three for the experience overall is being generous, especially considering the prices you pay for the food/​drinks there.

If you’re hoping to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, but you still want to be within a short distance this hotel is ideal. It’s on a sleepy portion of the canal just under the Charlemont luas stop, which is only two stops away from Stephen’s Green and a short 10 minute walk into city centre. It’s also a stone’s throw from the Barge. The newly implemeted Dublin bike system has a bike drop off/​pick up area just outside the hotel’s doors so it’s the perfect opportunity to take advantage of Dublin’s newest experience.
The lounge area serves American style cocktails, but like all cocktails in Ireland they’re on the pricey side, but they seem to get the job done. The food is your standard fare as well, nothing particularly good to write home about, but the finger foods are enough to starve off the imminent post cocktails hunger attack.
The main thing that draws me to the HIlton is the Costa Coffee bar, which in the morning hours serves up fresh made coffee for € 2. A nice break from the higher prices served at an American coffee change off the next luas stop and just as cheap if not cheaper than the machine standard coffee you get in most shops. A definite good place to stop into if you work off the Charlemont luas stop or around the corner like I do.

I found this Hilton Hotel nothing to write home about, but pleasant enough all the same. It’s tucked under a LUAS line not far from Harcourt Street, but I don’t think the location is ideal for a hotel. I was there for a small formal dinner and the main dining room is quite limited in size — so perfect if you’re holding a small event or wedding reception, but nothing more ambitious than that.
The bar at the reception was nice to sit in and the barmen were very entertaining — doing the whole ‘shaken not stirred’ business while mixing cocktails. The food was standard but certainly edible. I hear you can get a good deal on a room, so I wouldn’t rule it out as a place to rest your head, just don’t pay over the odds and don’t expect to see Paris…
