This review is about the afternoon tea at the Conrad Hilton. It was highly touted so I was very much looking forward to it. I arrived at the Conrad Hilton and found that the tea would be served in the bar - odd. Whatever, I went in and was soundly ignored by the wait staff. Finally I was seated. Ten minutes went by and a server deigned to wait on me. I was brought tea and told that the sandwiches and the sundries that went with afternoon tea would be out soon. Thirty minutes later, my server told me that the kitchen was making the sandwiches fresh instead of using already prepared sandwiches. Nice I thought. Forty five minutes later, I left. If I could give this establishment a minus several star rating I would. The taxi that took me back to my own hotel asked how it went. When I told him about the non-existing tea, he told me other horror stories about this hotel, he'd heard from other patrons using his taxi service. I must say, thus far, Ireland has been a great disappointment to me. read more

I had their fish and chips dinner. The food was delicious and the service was good. I would recommend reservations. The ambience is very sedate and chill and the offer multiple searing areas. read more

Back in the days of yore when I was a wee nipper, my parents took me to the Concert Hall for a massively long work that needed an hour long interval to allow the performers to recover. During this interval we trooped over to the Conrad bar to get food and general nourishment. From what I remember we ordered quick and easy food on the basis that we wanted to get back to the music on time. It was the kind of food that requires a deep fat fryer and a person to make sure nothing goes on fire. to make a long story short we never saw that food. The service was oh so bad that we left never to return again.....until, many moons later, I got a job nearby. I am pleased and relieved to say that the Conrad has upped its game considerably. Should you want lunch food for example, might I recommend heading to the bar where they have a rather excellent menu and are perfectly happy to serve gluten free bread if required although it does have to be said that they do occasionally run out of the stuff. The staff are excellent as they are friendly, efficient and do go out of their way to help. Also there is never a rush to finish which can be a shame when you forget what time is it. Upstairs in the lobby is probably my favourite bit though. The seats are comfy, the staff are once again excellent and the hot chocolate is amazing! They even put it in a pot if you want but that could just be me. Anywho! There's free wifi so if you have your laptop or fancy phone then you can sit and relax but be warned the place is ROASTING in summer with the sun shining through the glass roof area. How staff aren't keeling over I will never know. They recently also brought in a pianist to play mood music. This is both good and bad. Good in that she is very good and pleasant to listen to. Bad in that it encourages the local drunk to have a tinkle himself. In fairness he plays the Eastenders theme moderately ok but after four times of hearing the one song it gets kinda old. Seriously! The one thing I will say about the Conrad, and it is the reason it only gets 4 stars, is that at a christmas party one year the food served was not exactly roasting and the potatoes were similar in texture to hard play dough. The standards may have risen for large groups but I wouldn't be rushing back to make sure. On a final note, Pavarotti once stayed there so I'm guessing the rooms ain't too shabby either :) read more

Just been to the Conrad Hotel in Dublin City Centre. Upon entering this hotel you expect 'Hilton' ambiance and service. I experienced neither this afternoon. Granted I was only after a coffee in the lounge area but I will not be rushing back to spend anymore money in the hotel. The reception and lounge area need to be refurbished. There are more than enough luxury hotels in Dublin City Centre that are more tastefully decorated. The bathrooms in the reception area have no hot water - but they were clean. The furniture is shabby in the lounge area. There was one staff member serving in this area. It was not busy but the service was not to the usual 'Hilton' standards. I was waiting a while to be served. Eventually I had to call the staff member over. I witnessed another table also having to do the same. The staff member was not friendly, nor was there any apology for the delay in serving us. As I said given the choice in Dublin City, I would give this place a miss. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights while we were in Dublin earlier this year and it is totally worth it!! This hotel is considered a five star hotel in Dublin -- for how cheap it is per night it's ridiculous!! Rooms are big, staff is friendly, and breakfast is great!! Also located right across the street from a nice park -- great place to go for a quick morning run or stroll through the park while drinking a coffee. Staff can also book tours for you at the front desk -- they have good deals and can usually book you for a tour as soon as the next day. Recommended!! read more

Business hotel, good location, very good and attentive service. Excellent breakfast that is free if you are on of the lucky ones who stay at too many Hilton properties. We were able to walk all over Dublin with this as our home base. read more

What great customer service!!! My mom and I stayed here last year on our visit to Dublin. We stayed for 5 days and felt completely spoiled! The rooms were very spacious with everything you needed including robes and slippers. The beds were so comfortable! At night they would come in and get our rooms ready for bed - turn the radio on to soft jazz, slippers next to the bed, and those little details that felt great after coming back from a long day of touring. The breakfast buffet was good. I now crave scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms, and pork beans every so often at home. I had a drink at the bar one night. Very friendly atmosphere. The bartender was very attentive. If you want to get spoiled, I would recommend staying here! read more

My wife & I stayed at two properties while in Dublin. It was a Marriott vs Hilton showdown....Shelbourne vs Conrad. Really close battle, but Shelbourne takes the win. Here's are my quick thoughts on the Conrad: - Great location 1/2 block from Stephen's Green - Basic room provides great night's sleep and the bathroom is a cut above even in the standard room - Breakfast buffet was a good spread - Possibly one of the best Diamond benefits I've ever heard of is free Valet (unheard of) - If you're used the newer Conrad's in the US, it's worth noting this is an older property. However, it exceptionally maintained - Internet has to be one of the most annoying internet setups I've run into - what happened to room number and last name? - Gym is 1989 - terrible - Wife thought the hotel lobby smelled like the W Vieques which is always a plus read more

Fully remodeled and better than ever, the Conrad in Dublin is an amazing hotel within short walking distance of all the city center has to offer. The restaurant and cocktail bar are so beautifully designed and appointed that I could have stayed in each all day. The rooms, exceptionally comfortable even before the head-to-toe remodel, are even more so now. All the high points of my previous review are still accurate now. This is my preferred place to stay when in Dublin. read more

I travel for a living. This hotel is top-notch. We checked in at 11:30 pm on late arrival. We booked through lastminute.com and our reservation had not made it to the hotel. The gentleman at the front desk was very kind, and even gave us an upgrade to the deluxe room because of the error on the website's behalf. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and the staff was still polishing tables and working, despite the late hour. One employee in particular, Francisco, was amazing. He brought room service late one night on my stay. He also noticed I had the sniffles from a cold and brought me a box of tissues in a small bag while I was in the Lobby Lounge. Another time, my fiance asked for toothpaste at the front desk and it made it back to the room before he did!! THE BED is the most comfortable bed I have had the pleasure of sleeping on. I'm still dreaming about the silky soft cotton sheets and beautiful fluffy king sized pillows. Seriously some of the best sleep I have had in Ireland. The location is good enough. A 6 euro cab ride (from one of the many waiting cabs in queue outside) will get you around most places if you don't want to walk. St. Stephen's Green is literally on the corner. I can't speak to all of the hotel food, but the chicken club at the Lounge was tasty. I tend not to eat where I sleep. Check out Green 19 for lunch or Dunne & Crescenza for dinner. I have no negative comments about any part of this hotel. It is perfection, even down to the thick, quilted toilet paper. read more

As a Hilton diamond member,I was treated exceptionally well. I second all of the review from Chelsea. She did a wonderful job with the pictures. Our room was part of the remodel and was handsomely appointed. Fresh paint, paper, carpet and tile. Service from the front desk, restaurant, bellman to the turn down service was top of the line Hilton quality. We did not try the basement pub and are sorry we missed it. This hotel is convenient for walking and on the bus line from the airport. We would certainly stay here again. read more

A well maintained property in the Victorian section of Dublin, within walking distance of many things of interest. The service here is top-notch for Ireland. The staff is friendly, polite, happy to be of service to you. I have stayed at Conrad's in Asia, North America, and now Dublin. This property doesn't hold a candle to the ones in Asia in terms of architecture, size, or staff to guest ratios but neither does the one in Chicago. This property does, however, deliver a very solid top end stay within Dublin and I was happy with everything including the room size (large for Europe), a North American style tub/shower (no ridiculous half glass partition for a shower curtain that allows water to go everywhere in the bathroom except the bathtub drain), a nice location and some really good pub food although it is pricey. I did have the best fish and chips of the trip here but it also cost 17 euros. I would definitely stay here again in the future. read more

This classic yet contemporary hotel is located opposite the National Concert Hall which makes it in walking distance of most of Dublin's sights and main streets so perfect for tourists with money to burn. The rooms are light and airy and painted and decorated in calming muted tones but if you can afford it go for the fab Presidential Suite. The suite is pure indulgence with great views, plasma screen tv. home cinema option and a dining room for up to 12 guests!!! There is a great cocktail bar and a wonderful seafood restaurant on the ground floor and a traditional Irish bar, which lays on great bbq's during the summer months. These bbq's are a great way to meet people and free tour guides as they are really popular with locals as well as hotel guests! read more

We had a drink party for singles yesterday , the place was really great,I liked the bar was so nice and especially there was a pianist, was great to hear him playing beautiful music, the place was very relaxing , emotional and fantastic , the services were great , the prices were fair too. Cheers read more

I went here for lunch yesterday. The steak sandwich was just ok. It came on really nice crispy ciabatta with a sweet onion marmalade and blue cheese. There was supposed to be chunky chips. While they were nice they were definitely not chunky! Skinny fries for sure. There was no salad or garnish of any kind which is why I dropped a couple of stars. They did have lovely loose leaf tea which made up for the lunch somewhat but the little nibble of a biscuit they put on the saucer was a joke it was so small! The lounge itself and the bathrooms were very cold and we moved seats trying to warm up. Nice bright room but lacking atmosphere. Expensive enough for what you get. read more

The Conrad Hilton has become my standby place to stay in Dublin in recent times (when there's no family & friends to take me in!) it's a good mix of the superior hotel and the casual & informal - an unusual mix in Dublin, where places usually tend towards one or the other: stuffy and a bit pompous, or high-fashion & a bit crass and annoying. On this occasion, I was arriving in Dublin first thing in the morning after an overnight flight. I had contacted a number of hotels about the possibility of early check-in. The Conrad Hilton was the only place that responded to me. They didn't promise me a room - however, after I arrived at 9am and enjoyed a (much appreciated) Irish Breakfast, the room was ready for me - a blessed treat after a demanding, long flight. The rooms are modern and spare, in a Nordic blonde-wood kind of way. Comfortable and spacious and bright, with comfy beds - ideal for my needs. I have some small quibbles - the public WiFi in the lobby is poor & unpredictable (and, like most high end hotels these days, the WiFi mysteriously doesn't extend to the upstairs rooms!), and when I arrived at 10:03 for breakfast, I was informed that service stopped at 10am. (He seated me anyway - so it was a minor glitch...) in general, the place is pleasant and agreeable, and the staff are unfailingly polite and friendly. The location is almost perfect - a 2 minute walk from St. Stephens Green, and the prices (in these days of the ailing Celtic Tiger) are very reasonable for what you get (EUR 120 for the night, in my case.) read more

Francisco the Concierge is great! I asked last night what time the retaurant would open for breakfast , because our tour bus leaves at 630am. Since restaurant is open at 7am, Francisco offered to pack us breakfast for our trip and brought us hot and good coffee before we left. Great service and two thumbs up! Now, we won't get hungry- happy travelers. THANK YOU- always love the Conrad Hotels. The bed, the bed, is huge and very comfy... read more

I really had a great time here. The best compliments are reserved for the staff. Every one I ever interacted with were very pleasant and helpful. Especially the concierge desk, those guys know everything you want to do and can help you make it happen. Proximity to Stephen's Green is a definite plus for afternoon walks and people watching. The suite I had was very nice. Roomy with an excellent view of the lit concert hall at night. If I ever find myself in Dublin again I would love to stay here again. read more

Outstanding! Excellent service. Staff goes above and beyond to help. Great location. Rooms are clean and tastefully decorated. Restaurants are service oriented and food selection is great. Enjoyable dinning experience. I would stay here again and highly recommend it for families,couples and large groups. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

The hotel is a gem in the crown of Paris Hilton, the one that usually stays fixed when she falls down drunk. It's very clean, the room is spacious, has a desk with all the world's current plugs, and the bed is comfortable. Five stars to the breakfast they serve, as it is varied, fresh and plentiful; not sure why they offer items to order, as I cannot think of why anyone wouldn't want the buffet. Lastly, the location is fantastic. Located at Patrick's Green, you have access to the historical sites such as Trinity College, interesting places like the National Gallery & Irish National Library, and the main shopping & restaurant roads. I cannot comment on price as it was packaged in with my flight & other accommodations, but well worth typical four to five star prices. read more

Nice room. I loved the bathroom. Bed was firm but comfy. Good location right below St. Stephens Green with an easy walk to Grafton St shopping, many pubs and we also walked to the Cathedrals. Limo to/from airport will run you about 28 to 30 euros. Room service was good except for the pizza (but I learned not to order pizza in Ireland). The chips/ fries are awesome and ribeye was very good. The concierge was awesome and helped us with booking a place in Cashel (our next destination) when our cell phones wouldn't work. I would definately stay here again. read more

Conrad Dublin - Front entrance - Hotels Near Me - Dublin, D

Ever since the revamp of the Conrad, I just love it. Before that it was so boring, and, given that it's expensive, I couldn't be bothered going there. Now I go into the foyer lounge or the restaurant at least every couple of months. Lovely food, great service. read more

Conrad Dublin and Alex Restaurant is a seafood restaurant, which focuses on seafood and fresh ingredients, The best dish in there is the grilled dover sole with langoustine brandade potatoes, basil and tomatoe salad with mixed herbs and lemon olive oil dressing on top, this dish is really delcious yummy. The restaurant has seasonal menu's from traditional menu's to contemporary dishes. They also have a wine menu and the service is great. read more

Great hotel for 4 night stay in Dublin. Staff was professional and attentive. Rooms were updated, clean, cozy bed, and I loved that they had international adapters near the desk with the correct voltage for out of country phones and hair dodads. It appeared like an older crowd was mostly staying there but my husband and I (in our 30's) weren't looking to mingle or meet anyone so that didn't really matter :) (may matter to some) It was in an excellent location. Every time we wanted to explore the city we got to walk through Saint Stephens Green. Also the restaurants near were top notch. Merrion Row/ Baggot, street around the corner had excellent food spots. Hugo, Pearl, FXB, and Brookwood. read more

It's been an excellent stay so far with superior service and great restaurant and lobby bar. They have been attentive to all needs and even to extent of finding a masseuse to provide massage. read more

Really clean and nice property, easy check in and perfect location. Good bar and restaurant helpful friendly staff.

Location is super centrally located so, great for walking. Parking underneath hotel is a plus, but expensive. Rooms and amenities are nice. Rooms seem renovated relative to hallways. If a business traveler, and commuting to the North side, can be a bit of a pain especially on the way back (you are talking an extra 10 minutes of commute) Gym is in the basement so a bit sad. A few cardio machines (treadmill, bikes, etc.) with built in TV/internet, then 3 benches for dumbells up to ~40lbs/20kg or so, and a cable machine, and a couple leg machines. Central TVs. Towels, cold water, some apples. read more

This hotel is AMAZING. The amenities are delightful- delicious breakfast, free bottles of water, a knowledgeable and helpful staff. If you can swing it, you should definitely stay here. read more

Terrible customer service! Our stay was handled in a very uncomfortable manner and we were basically given no option to leave without getting our deposit back. Would not recommend read more

Worst Conrad I've ever stayed in. The facilities are very nice but the service is honestly awful. Location is great. Restaurant is good but all the positives don't outweigh the bad service. read more

I'm astonished Hilton put the "Conrad" stamp on this ! Deplorable !!! I've stayed in several other Conrads , this is NOT CONRAD STANDARDS! My husband and I visited and made plans for this to be our base as we explored , we left after the first night ! Being a diamond member you expect more from Hilton .. From the check in to the check out it was just sub par ! Do yourself a favor go to the newer HILTON in Kilmainham! read more

Beautiful hotel. Quite expensive, but the nicest of the 3 we stayed at in Dublin by far. The included breakfast was also quite good. Good location too. Enjoy! read more

Attended conference. Nice meeting room, great food, staff efficient. Only negative is awful coffee (thank you Cafe Sol round corner)

What a wonderful hotel and experience in Dublin. It was our last night on our vacation and we definitely enjoyed the fantastic service and accommodations that the Conrad provided. read more

Stayed here over new years and I would have to say that the accommodations are great but the big seller here is the hospitality of the staff. They were gracious enough to go out in the rain to check on venue tickets and go to the convenience store to pick up some things that we wanted. The restaurant has good food and is decently priced for a hotel. From this hotel you can also walk down to Stephen Green and a short ride to Temple Bar area. The only negative I would say is that the beds could have been a little softer for me. read more

I strongly recommend this hotel if you are looking to be in the city but want somewhere quiet enough to get a nights sleep. The Conrad is part of the Hilton group so you can get BA or Hilton points with your stay. We chose this hotel because of the location and the rooms looked nice and spacious, it lived up to its promise. We had to pay a bit extra than some of the other hotels though. When i arrived a lady was playing the grand piano in the large foyer and bar area, the staff were genuine and frendly, the room was big, bright, clean, had a great big bed which meant we got a good nights sleep. We didnt eat there so i cannot comment on the food, but they have a restaurant which looked nice with a nice menu. A short walk through the park and you are in the city centre. The airport coach drops off just round the corner in Lower Leeson St. read more

Did you know that you can enjoy afternoon tea for 2 here for just over €20? And that's €20 between TWO! You get a huge pot of tea and a cakestand filled with scones,clotted cream,jam,crustless sandwiches,a little of bowl of battered shrimp,smoked salmon on brown bread and some teeny tiny french pastries. Makes a delicous lunch for 2 or a decent snack for three! read more

I used my Hilton points to reserve two (2) rooms for my wife and my two (2) sons for several days. I am polish, but, my wife is Irish so I wanted them to appreciate their heritage. The hotel was great and ideally located near Stevens Green and Grafton Street. The Conrad is more of a business hotel, which I am accostomed to and we all appreciated including the daily high quality buffet breakfast. We were able to walk to Trinity College to see the book of Kells, Guninness, Jameson, and many other attractions including churches, restaurants, postal office, prision, etc. We trully enjoyed Dublin's history. read more

The hotel is nice and the staff is ok. But the breakfast was impossible to eat. The waiting time at the bar was also insane. Not the level of a Conrad read more
