The College Green Dublin Hotel, Autograph Collection

We had a fantastic stay at The College Green Hotel during our trip to Dublin. The property itself is beautiful, with a very historical feel while still being exceptionally well done and maintained. It feels like you’re staying somewhere with real character and history rather than just another hotel.

The staff was excellent throughout our stay. The doormen were especially helpful and truly stood out, helping us arrange taxis every day and making transportation effortless. Small touches like that really make a difference when traveling.

The breakfast setup felt a little clunky at times, but it still worked fine and certainly wasn’t enough to take away from the experience.

As a Marriott Autograph Collection property, it delivered a unique experience that felt different from a standard hotel stay. The location was one of the biggest highlights for us. It was close to many of the major attractions we wanted to see in Dublin, including Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and several other key tourist destinations. An added bonus was that Wild Rover bus tours picked up directly in front of the hotel, making it incredibly convenient for tourists like my wife and me.

We traveled with our six-year-old child, and the hotel worked very well for our family. We enjoyed the bar area, and one thing that deserves specific mention was the shower quality. Travelers know that sometimes hotel showers in Europe can be hit or miss, but this one was excellent.

Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely stay again.

zeer mooie hotel, prachtig gebouw, mooie grandeur. Personeel was beleeft, vriendelijk, maar ook professioneel waardoor soms wat afstandelijk.

No complaints here. Big comfy room, and really centrally located. Breakfast was great but be careful sometimes there can be long lines for breakfast when tours are checking out.

Excellent stay staff very friendly. I use a CPAP machine and was charged €19 euros for a container of “Distilled Water,” which seems a bit excessive.

What a wonderful front desk team and concierge.
Everything is spot on.
A breath of fresh air.
Exceptional hospitality.

Well done

Super centric wonderful hotel in the heart of Dublin. I stayed there for the first time and I was very impressed with the quality of the room, public spaces and the service level. Will definitely come back.

Beautiful hotel perfectly located in the heart of Dublin's City Center. We had an excellent two night stay at the College Green Hotel and enjoyed the hotel's unique and elegant character, which really set it apart from the typical big brand hotel chains.

The rooms were clean and well appointed, the bed was quite comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. To top it off, the hotel staff were all welcoming, efficient and kind. Pre-arrival, they were very quick to respond to a couple of emailed questions. And during our stay, a dessert plate was sent up to our room in honor of my birthday, which was a very nice touch and made a real impression on me.

I would definitely recommend The College Green Hotel if you want a special stay during your next stop in Dublin.

We stayed at The College Green Hotel Dublin and had a mixed experience.

The location is excellent—central, walkable, and very convenient to many of Dublin’s main sights. It is also right next to the Temple Bar area, so guests should expect some city noise, especially at night. That tradeoff is worth noting for anyone seeking a quieter stay.

The concierge team and doormen were consistently friendly, professional, and helpful. They represent the level of service you would expect from a hotel of this caliber.

However, our breakfast experience fell well short of that standard. As medically diagnosed celiacs, we requested eggs Benedict without the English muffin. The chef came out to confirm the request, which we appreciated and initially gave us confidence in the process. Unfortunately, when the food was delivered, the server slammed the plates on the table abruptly and without any acknowledgment or basic courtesy. The interaction came across as openly dismissive and inappropriate for a guest-facing role.

This was not a minor lapse—it had a material negative impact on our stay and undermined the otherwise strong aspects of the hotel. In a property positioning itself at this level, that kind of service breakdown should not occur.

In summary, while the hotel benefits from an outstanding location and strong front-of-house staff, the inconsistency in service—particularly in the restaurant—needs to be addressed.

I recently stayed for a long weekend to visit my sibling who was touring Ireland from the States. I did some research and saw that College Green looked very nice and central.

The hotel is in a very central location, close walking distance to all the main tourist attractions.

Upon arrival the staff were very welcoming, professional and helpful. The decor of the hotel is very stylish and attractive. Everything was very clean. My room overlooked the main street. It was spacious and comfortable. It had a very large comfortable bed, two seating areas, wardrobe, safe, iron, rainfall shower, TV. The bath products smelled lovely. One of the curtain pulls was broken. I was surprised at the lack of variety of TV channels or movies on the telly. The casting function didn’t work.

I ate in the restaurant the first night. The ambience was nice. The service was good and friendly. I thought the menu choices were not very varied. I had a Caesar salad which was fine. It didn’t have anchovies. My main was chicken breast, potato gratin with Parmesan, broccoli. The broccoli was overcooked. The flavour of the potatoes was nice.

The breakfast buffet was plentiful - pastries, fruit, eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms etc. I think they need to pay a bit more attention to cleanliness during the busy service periods. You can order eggs Benedict or an omelette. I was surprised eggs Benedict incurred an extra service charge. At other five star hotels in which I’ve stayed where breakfast is included in my package that would include something as simple as eggs Benedict.

Also in my package was included an afternoon tea. The staff were friendly. I did find the male waiter slightly patronising when he continued to describe every single wine when I didn’t ask for or need any assistance as I just asked for champagne. The afternoon tea was very pleasant. However the baked items such as scones were very dry. I have to be honest - the next day I was at another afternoon tea at the Shelbourne and it was far superior. I suggest the College Green Chef goes to the Sherbourne as a mystery shopper for comparison.

The concierge staff were always extremely helpful with directions, advice on local pubs/restaurants/tours, taxis.

I would recommend this hotel and I would stay again. But compared to other five star hotels in which I’ve stayed I just expected a bit more attention to detail.

Loved this hotel. My daughter and I stayed in early May. The service was exceptional. The location is minutes from Temple Bar and Grafton Street and we loved the ease of getting around. We grabbed a drink in the piano bar and we ate in the Mint.

Great hotel with amazing service. Had a fantastic afternoon in the Atrium. Eran made us feel welcome and would often engage with us (between assisting other guests).

Excellent service by Eva M. in the Atrium for a late lunch and drinks.

Our stay at The College Green Hotel in Dublin was absolutely wonderful. While it was a little pricey, it was worth every penny. From the moment we checked in, the level of service was exceptional. Every staff member we interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive.

The dining experience was fantastic, and our room was beautiful, comfortable, and impeccably maintained. The location was also perfect for exploring Dublin on foot — it was close to everything and made walking the city incredibly easy and enjoyable.

It’s rare to find a hotel where every part of the experience feels seamless, but The College Green Hotel truly delivered from start to finish. If you’re looking for a luxury stay in Dublin with outstanding hospitality and an unbeatable location, I highly recommend it!

My friends and I went to the afternoon tea while we were in Dublin, it was absolutely fantastic! Eren was so kind and attentive to our needs and made our experience wonderful! The tea and the food were so delicious, truly a wonderful high tea experience.

We brought friends for afternoon tea. This was our first time for this experience, and it was wonderful. Lia did a wonderful job acquainting us with the options and the run-of-show :)

We went for Afternoon Tea in the Atrium to celebrate a 60th birthday. The atmosphere, service by Eren, Lucia and colleagues was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. We had the signature cocktail, the Atrium Gold - delicious - and the Literary Tea. The food was excellent and plentiful.

A celebratory cocktail at the bar with our fabulous mixologist Amir. Lovely atmosphere, divine drinks & outstanding service particularly from both Amir & Joesph. Highly recommend. A delightful evening.

Afternoon tea with my grandson. He had the kid's and I had the vegetarian option. Adjacent to Trinity College. Very comfortable and beautiful decor. The afternoon tea is a delight. Everything is freshly prepared and tasty. The service is professional, attentive without being intrusive. My grandson loved his mocktail (Alice in Wonderland). I wasn't aware that a kid's afternoon tea was available prior to our visit, some mention of this online might be helpful as it is was ideal for my grandson.

The staff was wonderful and so helpful! Check-in/out was a breeze. Great location. Will stay again on our next trip to Dublin!
