+1 for the Conrad.

Location is outstanding and the service is constantly excellent.

Some decent rates can be had using public sector offer (Inc breakfast “PR11PN).

Alternatively, book through Emyr/virtuoso agent for breakfast,€100 credit and other benefits.

The rooms are well appointed, Nespresso machines and nice toiletries. Breakfast is excellent, served in the smart brasserie on the ground floor, have the banana bread french toast (nice a la carte options are included, even if taking free breakfast as Hilton Gold).

The other Dublin Hilton options are either run down, are poorly located, or both.

Having just been there I completely agree – the Hilton Dublin (on Charlemont Pl) is pretty disappointing. I would’ve been less surprised if it was a Hampton or something, but it isn’t! Rooms were alright, reception didn’t mention anything about having to give ‘explicit permission’ for cleaners to clean the room i.e. you have to call reception and ask them to clean your room on a certain day, otherwise it won’t happen.
Dinner was very poor overall – the menu changed mid week which was great to see after giving them feedback, however part of my main dish came uncooked and I had to return it.
