Myself and my husband took an overnight stay. We had never stayed here before. From the entrance of the hotel it was a lovely atmosphere. The Christmas decorations are just amazing. The staff with whom we engaged with from check-in to check- out were courteous, helpful and very friendly. We opted for the afternoon tea instead of dinner which was absolutely delicious. Ordered room service too later in the evening, again the food was delicious and delivered very promptly to the room. Breakfast the next morning too was a very relaxed experience in the beautiful spacious dining room. As regards the Covid times we are in,the hotel was totally on top of this with sanitising stations throughout the hotel and wipes available in the bar at your individual table and in our room. At check-out too I was given a token of a gift of homemade ginger Christmas cookies which I thought was a lovely touch. All in all our entire experience was a fantastic one, very relaxing and we will definitely stay here again. Thanks to all the wonderful staff. Keep up your great work.

Myself and my boyfriend decided to treat ourselves to a night away and went for the package deal currently being offered for €290 which included an upgrade to a junior suite, three course dinner, breakfast and free parking. It was so worth it! The room was out of this world, dinner was delicious and breakfast was the real treat - you could have whatever you wanted from the menu, an unlimited amount, and stay as long as you wanted. Not to mention, we were constantly surrounded by the gorgeous furnishing and beautiful views outside and the extremely helpful and friendly staff. The only issues we had was when I was accidentally overcharged at checkout, but they rectified this immediately when I raised this and refunded me the difference. Also, we made the mistake of parking under one of the huge trees outside, and we came back to our car being an absolute mess because of the birds. Completely blocked out the windshield. The hotel very kindly called housekeeping to come down and clean it, thankfully. This was an amazing stay, highly recommend.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
My sister and I stayed for one night at the intercontinental. It was a dinner and B&B package for a saturday night that was good value considering this is a 5 star hotel near the city centre. Prior to our check in we had tried numerous times to phone to book spa treatments and dinner but found the lines to be busy and were not successful. When we did eventually make contact there were no dinner reservation or spa appointments left available. This initial disappointment was improved by the fact that Radimir from reception made a point of organising this for us and found us a dinner reservation and one short spa treatment as well as putting us on a cancellation list. In retrospect it may have been better for us to email our request for spa as opposed to trying to arrange by phone. Radimir made every effort to accommodate our needs and gave excellent service as a part of the front desk team. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent although I found the wine list to be limited in terms of choice and various budget options. My spa treatment was excellent Suzanne was an amazing therapist and I would highly recommend using the spa. The pool was nice but we did find there to be an off putting smell in the pool environs - perhaps due to it being the last slot of the day. Only downside of my spa experience was that a large group of ladies entered the spa for treatments as I finished mine. It would be helpful if staff reminded such groups to keep the noise down as other guests are using the spa facilities and reminded of current covid guidelines in the hotel - ie social distancing and mask wearing. I was uncomfortable with the noise of the large group and couldn't access my locker until they had left as they congregated in a large group and were not wearing masks. Other then these minor issues our overall experience of the stay was excellent and I would recommend the hotel and staff level if service.

Thank you again for another amazing stay. This hotel ticks all the boxes. Great location. Parking. First class facilities. Fantastic staff. Arrived really early after flight from NYC. Staff were brilliant. Early check in and I was in the room to get some rest. There’s no room service carts clanging about outside and they don’t keep ringing the bell for things to do or check like some hotels. Was perfectly quiet the entire stay. The food is first class. Both breakfast and lounge area. Love this hotel and will Return whenever I’m in this great city. Congrats InterCon Dublin!

We came here for a treat for two nights stay, expecting to experience fine dining and a wonderful atmosphere. Sadly the food is average hotel quality, nothing special, high priced and lacking finesse. The staff are willing and polite but a bit bemused when you request anything, such as a clean knife! A real shame about the dining experience, but the beds are super comfy and the bathrooms wonderful - all in all we found this hotel did not meet the intercontinental standard we are used to

We booked the InterContinental to have a short break for my sons 5th birthday. We stayed a total of 3 nights and got a chance to try out a lot of in house dining options.
We stayed in the executive suite which was amazing. The room was very comfortable, spacious and had a good homely feel to it. There were all the regular amenities and you could feel a strong sense of luxury in how the room was set up.
We tried out in room dining a couple of times and found it to be very good. The menu is quite reasonably varied and if you don't find something you like on the menu, the room service staff are happy to offer other options as well which is really great.
The staff throughout our stay were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. With the COVID restrictions, they have still managed to maintain a high standard of service.
Overall, the hotel is very well located and is close to all key central points of Dublin while being in a nice quiet spot. You are sure to have a luxurious, relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Located next to the RDS and with views across the equestrian centre in Ballsbridge, the Intercontinental Dublin is a very good hotel but away from the city centre. The hotel offers a shuttle into the centre but on a short stay it’s not ideal for a quick visit into town.
It is, nevertheless, a lovely, leafy neighbourhood of Dublin. The hotel itself has character and a stately home feel to it, particularly in the public areas.
The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, with the usual Intercontinental Agrarian amenities. My room had a panoramic view of the equestrian centre which I imagine could be very prized during shows and competitions.
The bar is a great place to relax and enjoy drinks, food and snacks. Breakfast is served in a grand room and features a host of cold and hot dishes, as well as a la carte service.
Across the board, hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed friendly Irish hospitality from check in to table service. Although I would probably aim for something more central on a short stay, if I have a few more days at my disposal, then I would stay here again.

We love this hotel and stay frequently. The hotel rooms are lovely, and we just book the most basic one. We met friends this weekend and they had suites and junior suites which were far nicer than ours, but we were totally happy with out choice as the basic rooms are huge , sumptuous and very comfortable. The beds are just to die for! My wife just wants those sheets and mattress toppers etc. We had the very best night's sleep. I was disappointed there was no turn down and limited coffee and tea available.
So why the average rating ? Well the food was shocking! We ate in the Lobby Lounge. Steaks are 44 € .Chips are extra! The fondant potato was the size of an old 50 p piece. All the food was cold and disgusting. My wife had turkey and ham and it was like leather! We were seated in a small room off the lobby and every single group seemed to complain about the food and the service. Our waitress needed more training. She told us it was impossible to bring extra caesar dressing to the table, and none arrived! Obviously impossible! We eventually got ketchup, but as we waited from 6 til 9pm, we gave up! Plum pudding should be avoided too, as it was also of the leather variety. Breakfast in Seasons was very poor too. Food luke warm, although I asked for it to be extra hot ( last time, we decided never to go for the buffet again , as it was so cold).
The hotel is beautifully decorated and the front desk staff are just so helpful, as always.
Our high light was that we met Westlife as they headed to the Late Late Show. Those boys are such stars and so kind to everyone they meet.
We are planning our next visit, but until standards improve, we will dine down the road.

Dear Foodiepeter, Thank you for your review and recent stay with us here at the InterContinental Dublin. I thank you very much for your kind feedback regarding your time with. We are very appreciative on your continuous business and your comments about our guestrooms. We do indeed boast some of largest rooms in Dublin and am delighted to read you enjoyed the extra space and a good nights sleep. With our Covid-19 Guidelines, we do limit the access to all guest bedrooms and do take servicing/turndown times on check in to our hotel. I am sorry that this was not made clear to you on arrival but do note that the service is offered and any extras needed in the room - please just call us here at the front desk and we will endeavour to facilitate your request. I am sorry for the issues experienced in the Lobby Lounge during your stay. We have a very extensive menu with great selection on our a la carte and table d'hote menus, we many many steak options that do not cost the amount mentioned and some part of a more reasonably priced menu you are welcome to avail of on your next stay with us. Your comments are most disappointing as this is certainly not the norm here in the InterContinental Dublin, but your comments will definitely be passed on to the senior food and beverage team to ensure that issues like this do not happen again and we continue to serve high quality food to all of our guests. I thank you once again and do hope to welcome you back to the InterContinental Dublin, do note that our menus are seasonal and urge you to come back soon to try something new. Kind Regards, Graham O'Dwyer Guest Relations Manager

This was my 3rd stay at the hotel, the staff at reception, in particular Mark, were very welcoming. The rooms are lovely, bed is very comfortable. We ate in the lobby bar, food and service very good. Where the hotel us let down is breakfast, on the positives the quality and selection of hot & cold food is excellent. But when we were seated for breakfast there was a table in front of us waiting to be cleaned and reset, this remained untouched for the hour we had breakfast. It wasn’t the only dirty table in the restaurant. Also guests waited in line whilst there were dirty tables in the dining room, that just isn’t 5 star standard. We also attempted to order a decaf coffee and was told they didn’t serve decaf. We asked another waitress and she served the coffee. We also ordered poached eggs that never arrived. It was all a bit chaotic. Every time we’ve stayed the breakfast service has not been up to scratch. Pity ...

We Stayed for one night in August , as we are a Family of five we stayed in one of the executive suites which was perfect for us . Everything from booking to Check out was dealt with in a very professional Manner with very nice personnel touches.I would like to Thank Aleksandras personally for organising the treats for our kids on arrival, as it was our Daughters Birthday she was impressed with those little gifts. The Room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, we used the pool on 2 occasions and it again was spotless and very well managed under the current restrictions. We had dinner in the Lobby Lounge which was very tasty and the personnel birthday wishes for our daughter was again a very nice touch. Breakfast was very tasty, ordering from a menu for Kids @ breakfast can be a nightmare but at the intercontinental it was managed very professionally and everything on the menu was available to order for kids and adults.. Overall it was a perfect stay , i can't kind any faults especially under the current situation, we will return... R & Family..

From the Dublins Airport it costs €140, that a private taxi. From the hotel to Stephen’s Green, it’ll better to take the bus. Generally, the taxi ride from the hotel to city centre costs roughly €12.
Thank you very much for your question.
We do have stairs in our buildng; a member of our staff can assist you using them at any time. Ours is a 14m pool, which is flooded with natural daylight from the private outdoor inner courtyard santuary where you can enjoy a relax in the Summer Sunshine after a SPA Treatment.
