Customer Reviews for Westin Hotel Dublin
Our Customer stayed here in December 2012
This hotel is in the very heart of Dublin City centre with shops, tourist attractions and beautiful parks literally all within a few minutes walk away. From O'Connell street to Grafton Street, Trinity College and St. Stephens green, you could not be more central. Convenient for every kind of public transport to see any other areas of Dublin. The hotel itself is superb. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. We stayed with two young children and they upgraded us to a much bigger room with an extra bed for a minimal cost to give us the extra space we needed. The decor is lovely and understated. The atmosphere was so warm, welcoming and friendly. We stayed very close to Christmas and the lobby was so cosy and christmassy. The food was excellent with a very good menu for the children with lots of options including healthy proper dinners for them. Breakfast was also excellent. There are leisure facilities on site but we did not avail of them. It is a little on the pricy side but you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a very comfortable, convenient and welcoming hotel in the very centre of Dublin City this is worth the extra money. If you do have a car, they provide a concierge service but it is an extra 25 euro per night which adds to the cost. Overall I would rate this hotel very highly and would recommend it to others.

The positives were that the interior of the Hotel was excellent and some of the staff were really helpful. The negative however were that our bedroom lacked in size, service and in the Exchange Bar was extremely poor, parking charge for the night at €25 was steep considering the room rate.

It is a beautiful hotel and a perfect location. We were at a wedding and the Banking Hall where the reception was held was a really special room. Our bedroom was spacious with a very comfortable bed and lovely decor. The bathroom was equally as good with bath and separate walk in shower. The staff were great very attentive and friendly. The food was also very good. We really enjoyed our stay and we would have liked to have stayed longer.

Our stay was excellent. Hotel is perfect location to all the restaurants, bars and shops. Room was lovely and clean. Only two complaints ... we found the room extremely warm and we could not open the windows or turn the heat off, so was uncomfortable, Air Condition made not difference either. Car Parking charge of Euro 25.00 is very very expensive given the cost of the room but apart from that I would definitely stay at the Westin again. Staff were extremley friendly, helpful and nice.

Wonderful stay. Had a lovely room - very little traffic noise and the dimmer switch in the bathroom was a great idea when taking a long hot bath ! Great location for Temple Bar and Grafton St pubs and restaurants. And really friendly and polite staff. What more can one ask for ?... There are only 2 really really little things I would adapt.... towels while perfectly sufficient needed some fabric softener and EUR30 to watch TV is a bit steep. But overall would definitely stay there again. Many thanks !
