Pros:

We try and stay here at least once per year, and it never disappoints. The hotel is exceptional, and the standards of service throughout are consistently outstanding. However for me the experience starts from the moment we arrive at the front door, and I would like to recognise Tommy and Brian, the doormen. The way these two gentlemen welcome guests, remember familiar faces and interact with everyone is genuinely special.

Cons:

Nothing

Too bad we only stayed 2 nights
Pros:

We were greeted immediately like we were old friends returning. The staff made us feel not just welcome but pampered... They even wrapped my cell phone charging cord every evening when my room was turned down!

Cons:

Only stayed two nights!

Un excellent souvenir de 3 nuits à Dublin.
Pros:

La qualité de l’accueil dans tous les services et la gentillesse du personnel. C’est très rare à ce point.
Notre chambre était de grand confort, tout est propre, très bien entretenu.
Il y a plein de petites attentions charmantes.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service
Pros:

Stayed here the night after our wedding and had such a lovely time. Staff were so kind and attentive, room service dinner was delicious, the hotel itself is really beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere. From start to finish, we had a fantastic stay, would highly recommend! We’re local so it wasn’t a factor for us booking, but the location is so central to everything if you’re visiting Dublin from abroad.

Wonderful stay, completely spoiled by an overcharge despite checkout assurances.
Pros:

A beautiful hotel with superb facilities and a fantastic location. The breakfast and the room service was excellent.

Cons:

On arrival, I provided my credit card as a holding payment. At checkout, I was assured this amount would be refunded, less the charges for room service and breakfast.

Unfortunately, this did not happen. The hotel debited the full holding amount and then left a further charge pending on my account. I contacted the hotel using the email address on the invoice, but received no response. I then called and was told that the finance department does not work weekends, so the matter remains unresolved.

I find it extremely disappointing that such a basic aspect of the billing process could be handled so poorly. I would expect a hotel to be able to process payments correctly and provide a timely response when an issue arises.

Cons:

I requested a vat receipt and the duty manager said contact Booking.com as they were lying about who issued the vat invoice/receipt. I showed him their email which clearly stated hotel would issue receipt which I find always to be the case ,In the end I left without a receipt and requested that someone from accounting call me . I am a business man & I stay in hotels all over Europe & Ireland & unfortunately this is the first time I had to leave without a receipt which I needed for my accounts office

Still Dublins best hotel but standards are starting to slip
Pros:

Great location clean good food great door staff

Cons:

Had a problem with the Sommelier sent us a newer wine than ordered when I spotted this he didn’t handle it well Reported it to front desk said they would investigate and report back on check out no mention of the incident I had to raise it again.
Also coffee machine not maintained staff at front desk and restaurant seem to congregate in groups and chat to each other a lot looks like the are missing a floor manager.Still Dublins best hotel but things are slipping hope some one stops the rot before it takes root
