Fitzwilliam Hotel

The location was fantastic, both at the end of Grafton Street with excellent shopping and across from St. Stephens Green, a beautiful large city park. The room had fresh flowers (orchid and peonies), robes and slippers, a stereo system, rain shower and deep tub, candles, window seats, down pillows and comforter, and attractive furnishings.

This hotel is perfectly located across from the beautiful St. Stephens Green, and at the base of Grafton Street. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, quiet and comfortable. The staff pays extreme attention to detail, and service is of the highest quality. The concierges are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. One of them provided three restaurant recommendations and made the reservations for us. All three were superb. We always try to stay at excellent hotels, and this is one of the best.

Great location. Nice rooms although small. Very modern decore.

The hotel was amazing and the location was perfect. It was right near everything but not in the middle of everything. The front desk staff that checked us in showed us to our room and arranged for someone to watch our car (double parked out front) while we went up to the room. The only negative is that we were told that there was internet and that was a small part of our decision to stay there. It was down 3 of the 4 days we were there and it didn't seem like the staff really cared. Even stranger, the concierge internet worked yet ours didn't. The rooms were small but immaculate and very fun in their design. The conciereges were very attentive and helped arrange golf, restaurants, and reminded us to take our umbrellas. Would definitely stay there again. We didn't eat in the restaurants so we can't comment on those. Gym= 3 machines and a few weights. Nothing stellar but you can run in St. Stephen's Green right across the street instead!

This hotel has a tasteful contemporary design, both in the common rooms and in the guest rooms. If you're looking for traditional, this is not the hotel for you but we loved it. It's on St. Stephens Green near Grafton Street so there the location is perfect for shopping, dining and sightseeing. The rooms were very clean, reasonably sized, amenity filled and had modern well lit bathrooms. The concierge, [...], was super -- very helpful and knowledgeable. We had a quiet room overlooking the rooftop garden. The only slight problem was that we couldn't get the room temperature below 24 (75) degrees and the beds only had quite warm duvets. But the room windows did open and it did cool off at night. Dublin was quite warm and sunny during our stay at the Fitzwilliam. Now we're staying at the Shelbourne so we can compare the two. Style-wise we prefer the Fitzwilliam, in all other considerations -- cleanliness, food, service, amenities -- the two hotels are comparable. The air conditioning works better at the Shelbourne.

Really enjoyed my stay, cool decor, great staff and very chilled. In a perfect part of the city centre, walking distance to many areas and attractions and close enough to the night-out areas without dealing with the noise when you are done!

I liked the area. It was quite and functional. My room was cleaner than other 5 star hotels I've been in. It is not a social hotel. It is not ritzy and/or glitzy. You don't see posers hanging around. It is quite sedate and peaceful and very close to everywhere without the noise. The staff are not intrusive. Don't expect to see elaborate decor in the lobby. The bar serves good drinks and they let you be.

First class treatment from the greeting at the door till we left. We felt welcomed and able to ask for whatever we wanted and no problem for the staff. Room was laid out beautifully, even had a live orchid in the room. Bed was super comfortable, queen sized and furniture and decor all added to the pleasure of being in the room. very quiet, except for the running of the shower in the room next door, and that was not a big deal. Gym was worth a visit and had everything needed to keep in the routine of fitness. Shower AND bath and great lighting. Internet was both cord and wireless and worked well. Perfect location for Dublin exploring - park across the street is quiet and a joy; lots of shopping right nearby; get to tours easily and the neighbourhood is easy-going. Only 2 negatives and they were small: we consulted the concierge for a couple of things and two different ones steered us toward things they were pushing, instead of getting us what we wanted. 2nd was the shower curtain didn't go around enough and water pooled on the bathroom floor.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon. And first off had the hardest time locating the hotel, specifically finding the parking structure. Do your homework if you are planning on driving. After driving down from Derry we were not looking are most pristine, however the reception we got from the front desk clerk was as rude as we have ever received from a hotel receptionist. We felt as though she could care less about us, because we were not in a business suit as were most the other guest in the lobby at this time. But after this we did have a great time. The hotel is very nice and the City Center is quite the spectacle, although the City Center was much more expensive than anywhere else in Ireland. The rest of the staff treated us very nice for the rest of our stay. But we still are bothered by the treatment we received from the one Receptionist.

Truthfully we were only in our hotel to sleep. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The concierge wanted to direct us to more expensive places to eat but we wanted to enjoy and relax in Dublin. So we ventured out on our own taking advise from the locals. Our taxi driver, a life-long Dubliner, gave us the best advice. The hotel is literally a 5 minute walk to Temple Bar and at the end of the busy Grafton Street. Can walk 5 minutes to the National Gallery and Library as well. The hotel bar is open 24 hours but was too quiet for our taste. Seemed to cater to the business person. Can't comment on the food because we didn't eat at the hotel. Suggest to explore Dublin. We never had a bad meal.
