During a recent stay in Dublin, my husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on O’Connell Street. We couldn’t have asked for friendlier, more helpful and accommodating staff. Our room was spotless on arrival. The hardworking housekeeping staff maintained the high level of cleanliness throughout our stay.

The staff were very helpful especially the man at the door who was always smiling and went beyond his role to help our group. Also a very nice receptionist on 19/10 who spent a lot of time at 11pm on helping us reorganise our rooms closer together as Expedia hadn't allowed the hotel to see that we were all travelling together. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was ok. The hotel is conveniently located to the hop on bus to tour Dublin.

Once they have your money they don’t care

Due to a sudden illness my partner was unwilling enough to travel so I reached out to the hotel via hotels.com and through their official email to see if there was anything they could do regards refund or using the nights stay at a different date and still haven’t received a reply. Very disappointing as up to that the communication was very good with the hotel.
