The Intercontinental in Dublin was a great great place to stay. The hotel was beautiful. The staff was kind and attentive even when they were busy. Thank you.

I am a fan of Intercontinental properties as they are a top brand and typically 5 star or have some uniqueness about them. Dublin Intercontinental was good because it was away from the touristy area but that meant taxi fares anywhere you want to go. The rooms, spa and bar were as expected. The dinner lounge/restaurant was well appointed but menu was lacking. Breakfast was good but staff was short handed or inattentive. Kind of disappointing when you expect some specialness at a 5 star property. Dublin Intercontinental needs some direction to get to the next level.

Beautiful property, staff were excellent. I have stayed in the past and the standards were fantastic. The only issue I had was with the buffet breakfast, personally i do not like having to go up and down to get my breakfast and I find the queuing awkward and quiet dangerous with hot food. There was also only one toaster which was very slow, which resulted in people standing around the area waiting, this should be served to your table.

Very nice hotel

upscale property with a 20 min walk to central Dublin. If breakfast included in cost--it's an amazing breakfast. If not included--its really expensive. Gym and spa facilities are outstanding.

The Intercontinental is one of (if not the) finest hotels in Dublin. I highly recommend staying there. It is convent to the Dart for easy regional sightseeing and perfect location for enjoying Dublin.

If you're a tourist, don't stay at this hotel. Although the hotel is nice, the location is terrible unless you're a government employee or diplomat. It's way out of the way to any attraction you would want to see, and there's virtually no local transportation in the area except via taxi. On another note, the water flowing from the shower heads is like being showered from a fire hose nozzle with so much force that you can barely stand under it.

A beautiful hotel! Great breakfast. The location is a bit away from the center of Dublin, but within a short taxi ride. There are good dining options nearby.

We had a wonderful stay at the InterContinental Dublin. The staff is superb - professional and friendly. We especially appreciate the efforts of the concierge staff to enhance our visit. Valerie was absolutely wonderful - knowledgable, thoughtful, and made our trip much more special! Our room was spacious, well appointed and maintained. The bed and linens were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was large and well maintained. The pool and spa were great and we enjoyed all of the restaurants and bars. The hotel is in beautiful Ballsbridge, which does mean a long walk, taxi or public transportation to the center of Dublin. Wish that there was a shuttle service into Dublin, or some other transportation option.

The service is excellent. We arrived early in the morning after a 15 hours flight. The room was not ready yet. The staff made sure we were comfortable and fed while they ready the room for us for an early chech-in.

Beautiful property! The king suite is spacious and partioned for privacy. Room service is excellent. Staff is excellent and friendly.

Stayed here for our honeymoon. Beautifully decorated, clean and friendly. Everyone was willing to answer questions and accomodate you with anything you needed. Would definitely come back here.

Room temp too warm. AC not effective. Also, sweet had for occupancy and staff would leave only one bottle water each day. Otherwise was clean and comfortable.
