Guest Reviews
- Patrick (10/5): - Didn’t stay at holiday inn. They moved me next door to crown plaza which is owned by same company. The place was very nice.
- Gerard (10/5): - Very Nice
- Mcdara (10/5): - We actually ended up staying at the Crowne plaza hotel as holiday inn is under renovation. We were very happy as this was much nicer hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was nice. Food was good. Airport shuttle picked us up right outside on time. Would definitely stay here again
- Karl (10/5): - Close to the airport. Good restaurant and bar. Excellent buffet breakfast.
- James (10/5): - We actually stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel since the HI Express was closed for renovations. The front desk clerk helped us find a Saturday evening mass and arranged taxi transportation to and from church. She was very persistent in making sure we were taken care of!
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Nice property
- daryl (8/5): - Great location for airport transfer to Dublin airport for an early flight out
- Francisco Javier (8/5): - Fine stay
- Aneel (10/5): - Excellent hotel.
- sean (10/5): - Everyone was super helpful, rooms were great, convenient to the airport with a shuttle, and dinner was fantastic, recommend the curry!
- Lori (10/5): - We had excellent service with shuttle to airport.
- Jack (10/5): - Loved our stay. Great service from shuttle to front desk and breakfast. Thank you.
- christopher david (4/5): - The room had so much furniture it was like staying in a storage locker, nowhere to even open a suitcase.
- Susanne (10/5): - Fabulous place!
- Janine (8/5): Crown plaza dublin - Hotel was beautiful, staff were so friendly & helpful. Room was very clean & bed very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.
- Kathleen (10/5): - We had a lovely time.
- Julie (4/5): - This was falsely advertised as Holiday Inn Express which is closed down. Crowns Plaza took their reservations. I felt lied to. I prefer Holiday Inn Express over Crowne Plaza any day. Furniture run down. Large food crumbs on floor and under bed. Staff super friendly and shuttle runs every 30 minutes except when you need it, then it’s an hour and a half for pickup from the airport. Booking not lived up to correct chain or promise.
- Leona (10/5): - Comfortable room with delicious, abundant breakfast, friendly staff. Complimentary Shuttle to airport was convenient.
- Priscilla (8/5): - Great location to the airport
- Celia (10/5): - The Holiday Inn property was under construction so I stayed at the Crowne Plaza. It would have been helpful if I knew this information when I arrived at Dublin airport. I was looking for Holiday shuttle. Finally told about the construction by the shuttle bus operator. However the Crowne Plaza was excellent
- Rogelio (10/5): - We didn't stay long, but this place was cozy.
- Michael and (10/5): - Enjoyable Stay Staff were excellent
- Fiona (10/5): Got upgraded to the crowne plaza - We actually never stayed at the holiday inn because it is closed at the moment but got upgraded to the wonderful crowne plaza next door for the same price. Delighted with everything there. Very cosy,comfortable,quiet and clean. We were flying out from dublin airport the next day and were able to use the hotels shuttle bus and we asked could we leave a bag there for when we got back and it was no trouble at all! Great staff and food also.
- Paul (8/5): Wonderful upgrade - It was too short, as we only arrived at the hotel at 23.35, went straight to bed , had a great breakfast and left by shuttle service back to airport early next morning
- Cathern (8/5): Overnight stay - We got upgraded to the Crowne plaza next door, beautiful hotel staff very friendly and helpful, room was excellent and very clean, the only problem i had was the noise from doors banging during the night as i am a very light sleeper. Very tired next day. I will return but I will ask for a room at the end of the hallway, hopefully it won't be so loud.
- sarah (10/5): Perfect start to holidays - From start to finish our one night stay(travelling from Dublin Airport next morning)@ 4am.they even gave us a takeaway breakfast at that time.free shuttle to airport driver so friendly. Just superb all-round. Couldn't rate this hotel highly enough. Definitely will be recommending it to everyone. Was great value also.
- Brian (10/5): Good stay - good overnight stay - evening meal was really good - and breakfast was also good - parking was 6 euro but issue with payment machine and we had to walk back inside to use hotel payment machine
- Maksims (10/5): Nice hotel and great spacious room. - Very nice hotel overall and room is great with some tiny issues - very warm duvet and outdated longlife milk.
- Luis (10/5): - At the moment the Holiday Inn Express is closed because the corona Virus but Crowne Plaza next to the Holliday Inn upgrade my reservation. Crowne Plaza is excellent very nice clean friendly breakfast delicious the shuttle is free to airport I would stay there’s again at Crowne Plaza by the airport.
- Norma (10/5): Great hotel near airport - Very pleasant stay, very professional and personable staff. Enjoyed our stay.
- Rene (10/5): - The only loop hole was the shuttle service that took 1 1/2 for me to wait. Driver didn’t even check customers waiting in the shuttle pickup. Observed other hotel shuttle drivers came down to identify their services
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The desk clerk was busy on the phone and computer as we came in thus check in was slow.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great service, very nice hotel. Would stay there again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice place to stay, except the shower was plugged and water was everywhere. We contacted the desk and they said they would send up a plumber. One hour later, I finally told them to move us to another room, which they did. Also, no computers to be used to obtain your boarding passes, but the hotel next door did allow me to use theirs. Yes, I would stay there again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was super helpful and friendly. The room was extremely clean and orderly. I also liked how they gave you the option of which type of firmness of pillow you like (firm or soft).
- gerald (10/5): ok place - Upon checking out in morning went to get Airport shuttle they had TAXI's waiting out side they refused to take us to AIRPORT saying they did not have our room on list THATS not trur upon checking in that was the first thing we did was make a shuttle reservation after about 10 minutes of us arguing the let us in a Taxi NO THANKS TO THE FRONT DESK MAN he was zero help
- Birgit (10/5): - The lobby was welcoming as was the bar and breakfast area. Our room was great. Stylish, bright and comfortable. We loved that such a small space could be so well utilized. The front desk was very helpful when we needed help finding our way to downtown Dublin. I'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. BTW....breakfast was fantastic!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fourth time staying here. Perfect this for night before an early flight. The one time I had a problem it was handled immediately And there is a great park across the street
- Verified traveler (6/5): Disappointing - We had booked our stay for 3 adults. The pull out sofa bed was very disappointing. The mattress was so thin and you could easily feel the springs coming through it, it was the most uncomfortable night sleep I have ever experienced.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Bathroom was gross. People were lovely and breakfast was great.
- Johnny (2/5): - The beds were terrible rooms were smelling stuff with very poor attitude i.e. the manager and the bar staff over there on holiday and to be treated like rubbish by staff at the holiday in express Dublin airport very disappointed worst ever stay in a holiday in very poor service to a customer
- Dennis (8/5): Nice hotel - The carpet seemed dated, rooms were nice. It would be nice to have some variety for breakfast. Staff was helpful, and even said they'd mail my postcards for me (yes i provided stamps), but i didn't have to look for a post office.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Short overnight stay service good as always Our favorite airport hotel . Easy access from airport and to the city . Will be back
- Edward (10/5): - The property is very modern with a fresh new feel. Very nice small room that uses space smartly so I didn’t feel cramped. Very clean. Great for airport shuttle (no fee) with early morning service on the half hour.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We needed to leave at 5:00am and were offered a takeaway breakfast. Very nice!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very good All is well Room was very nice Bar friendly staff Receptionist very nice
- Linda (10/5): Divine intervention. - Excellent customer service. We were stranded due to virus outbreak in Italy The staff found us a room within our budget and were extremely helpful meeting all our needs
- Giulia (8/5): - Really silent room we couldn't hear anything
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Welcoming fronts desk, clean facility, warm breakfast, airport shuttle, near bus stop for downtown Dublin.
- LB (6/5): - Having laundry facilities available for travelers would be nice. Room interiors/bedding appear worn. The parking lot is microscopic & it’s design puts people at risk of damaging their vehicles even when being careful...Here’s to hoping breakfast offerings & a morning hot shower are in good form...
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The room was clean, modern, and quiet! We did not have time to eat breakfast, but it looked lovely.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This location was great, help us check in early due to airline problems and the staff was very nice and helpful. Friends are traveling this summer to Dublin and I recommend this location to yhem
- Edward J (10/5): Top notch - Great service, great breakfast, super efficient check in and check out!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - They had many ubs charging portw. 2 of us charged all our devices at once!
- Verified traveler (2/5): - After waiting outside and freezing at the airport for 45 minutes for the shuttle that they claim shows up every 30 minutes I got to hotel. Looked like Floors haven’t been cleaned in about two years. And even though check out is at noon it seems that the cleaning people like to just open your door and walk right in at eight in the morning.
- Mark (10/5): - Nice, modern clean hotel, very close to the airport with good transport links to the city of Dublin and above all lovely staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - All was friendly and comfortable. My only criticism was the water temperature for a later shower at 10:30pm - it was not as hot as it should have been.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Renovated room had everything we needed. Breakfast buffet was large and high quality. The staff were nice and welcoming. Free airport shuttle was timely.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The Breakfast is one of the best of any hotels i stay in and it is included in the price
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean Modern Great staff Great Breakfast Walk around the park across the road great
- Teo (10/5): - everything it was nearby approached. Nice people with smile and ready to help you anytime! Helpful with guidiles and answer all the questions!! Thanls for the help
- Patrick (10/5): Dublin Races - Great stay
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Have stayed here several times. Good option for early flight departures but this time Ugh! Before I go on, the hotel did refund my stay. And after missing the shuttle, they also picked up the cab far to the airport. They forgot to tell me they’d moved the shuttle pickup location. The main issue was the fire alarm going off at two am. . Biggest issue no hot water! Not cool ( oh but it was) when up at 4 for that early flight. Let the shower run for a while and the shower pan overflowed and flooded the floor . I thought I was in a 3 stooges movie. Hotel made good, though I would have preferred a hot shower. Will give them another short before I drop them off my list of favorites
- Martin (10/5): Excellent rooms - Room was excellent and recently refurbished.
- Linda (8/5): - Love this hotel. Easy access to Dublin airport. Park across the street is a bonus. All the amenities you need.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Modern Holiday Inn property only 5 minutes drive from Dublin airport with clean and well-fitted rooms and efficient and friendly staff. The property only has a breakfast bar, but guests can use all amenities (gym, restaurant, etc.) at a bigger hotel right next door. Not much else in the immediate area. Ideal hotel for a short transit stop or business stay.
- Brian (10/5): - Great time with family, very convenient location. Quiet and great breakfast
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great customer service and great breakfast. Very clean, comfortable and quiet. Loved it
- Marisa (10/5): - Has usb wall chargers, clean, includes breakfast, and shuttle bus driver was very informative!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was clean and seemed new. Liked the shuttle bus to and from the airport.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - We reserved a 'Deluxe Double Room with King Bed'. What we received was a small room with a double bed and a fold away bed. Since we arrived quite late, after traveling from the States, we were unable to change rooms. Also, after 11:00 pm, the only food available from room service are sandwiches. No hot food available.
- Raymond (10/5): Love staying here - Great hotel to stay and rooms are updated recently and very clean and comfortable. I always stay here when i am flying out early in mornings. I havent had opportunity to try buffet breakfast with early flights but i am sure its great. Service is always welcoming.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel - Great friendly staff would definitely stay again
- Tanyth (10/5): Great airport hotel - A great airport hotel. Fast, friendly check in. Lovely sized room with all the necessary amenities for a business stay. Very clean. Bar offered a good menu and friendly service. Breakfast grab bag was a great touch for an early flight. Shuttle bus was on time and right outside.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel I stayed here only 1 day but the staff was very nice and accommodating
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good service good food crap beds cleaned and cheerfull
- Paul (10/5): A little way out but next to the trams - I love this hotel, it’s clean and comfortable with nice staff. Granted it’s a little way out but it’s next to Heuston Station, so great for the 747 bus to and from the airport which starts and ends it’s journey here, plus the tram stop is here too, so it’s easy to get into and from town. We missed the last tram one night and had a 25 minute walk, but even that was pleasant. We will be back for sure.
- Lindsay (10/5): Awesome stay - The Hotel and staff were great and I enjoyed my stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I was in Dublin on a layover while returning home from a trip to London and Paris. I really liked the proximity of the hotel to the airport and the free shuttle. The staff treated us well and gave great suggestions for sightseeing.
- Finn (8/5): - The hotel was clean and comfortable. It was excellent value for money.
- C. (10/5): - The only negative was paying for parking when you payed for a room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I stayed at the Crown Plaza as The Holiday Inn Express was closed. excellent
- Justin (8/5): Enjoyable Stay - Excellent, bright comfortable new room and breakfast was very good.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great breakfast and the bus that goes into town the number 41 was close by .
- Mely (8/5): Near the airport - We had a comfortable stay in the hotel for 12 nights. We enjoyed the buffet Irish breakfast and the free shuttle service from and to airport. Bus station to city centre is only a 5 minute walk. However, there are no nearby grocery stores.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast is very good by the usual standards of complimentary breakfasts. There were some stains on the carpet in the room but it was otherwise clean. Walls are somewhat thin. If your neighbors (in my case, small children) are noisy you will hear them.
- Mely (8/5): Value for money - We had a pleasant stay at the hotel. I enjoyed the daily buffet continental breakfast, esp the Irish sausages, and the free shuttle service from/to hotel. Value for money
- Lisa (10/5): Great hotel in a good location - The hotel and room were in great condition and the staff was very friendly. The hotel was a short walk away from the bus that takes you directly to the city center and next door to the free airport shuttle. Their continental breakfast had a variety of food to choose from and the food was good.
- vasudevan (8/5): Good hotel - Very convenient for early morning flights Good coffee machine - cappuccino Nice breakfast buffet spread Shuttle bus to airport every half hour Note: Dublin airport signage could be much better ( not fault of hotels). Confusing airport shuttle directions.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Was holiday inn standard. Christmas party or something kicked off at 11pm which was noisy. Ruined the rest of the value of what was.
- Greg (10/5): - Ideal hotel before my flight
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I was very pleased with everything . Staff very helpful breakfast good
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Super place to stay overnight if travelling to ir from Dublin airport. Free airport shuttle every 30 minutes. Modern bright decor. Very comfortable. Complementary breakfast.
- AENGUS (2/5): Don’t ever stay here. - It was a nightmare
- Caroline (10/5): - Loveky hotel to dtay. Comfortable
- Elizabeth (4/5): - I was disappointed, as the soap dispensers didn’t work even though there was no soap in them. Breakfast was good.o
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great breakfast. Good info from shuttle driver. Kind staffer who found me soup and bread.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Exceeded expectations - Modern interior and clean. Better than I was expecting.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I was very Happy after showing up after kitchen was closed the staff went out if their to prepare me a meal. I greatly appreciated being treated like a friend not a customer.
- Jessica (8/5): - This is a very modern and up-to-date property. The room is very thoughtfully designed, with plugs and lights in the perfect locations. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. They have a small bar downstairs as well as a small place to get food. If you want a nicer sit-down meal, walk next door to the Plaza. Its a short 30 sec walk, out one door and into the other. Be sure to ask about the airport shuttle. The front desk clerk did not mention it when I checked in and I forgot to ask. This airport is in a great location and I have already booked my next stay.
