Wonderful stay - would definitely return
A beautiful stylist hotel with a lovely dining area and lobby, the room was luxurious and had great amenities available to me. The staff were wonderful and attentive and I felt it was a dream to stay there.
There was no AC in the room and when it's 25C in Dublin in the summer -it got stuffy! Fortunately there was a fan and it helped circulate the air which was good. I also had to pay for my coffee in the morning (if I wasn't getting filter coffee)

I really enjoyed my stay in the Iveagh Garden hotel. The location and restaurant are highlights.
The staff in the Iveagh Garden hotel are lovely and so helpful. My room was hot and stuffy and the lady in charge of cleaning the rooms switched off the heating which was on in my room! She then helped to secure/put in place the extractor tube from the air conditioning unit out of the slightly open window. I was so grateful to her. Elle’s bar and bistro is fantastic. The food is of a very high quality and there is a great selection from which to choose. All the staff in the restaurant are friendly and helpful.
My room was stuffy and warm. There is no in-built air conditioning. I had a stand-alone air condidioning unit which did cool down the room so that was good. The hotel lifts are also warm. I understand that during the summer this is a problem for the hotel as it was probably built before air conditioning was installed. I have stayed in this hotel in December and it was lovely to see an open fire in the reception area. So the hotel is fine in cooler months but on the warm side in the summer.

A lovely hotel in a nice part of town. Great room, fantastic staff. Orla at reception was fantastic
The only drawback, the Harcourt Hotel adjacent, was beyond the Hotel’s control. They managed our isues with efficiency and charm

I would stay again if they had working AC
Lovely hotel, renovated, nice lobby, restaurant and bar and great selection for breakfast in the morning.
No AC in the room made for a really uncomfortable sleep. I also had a food delivery come to the hotel and without calling my room the reception did not accept some 2 of the items (tub ice cream and coke cola can). I was in my room waiting for the delivery.

Another fantastic stay in a fantastic hotel. Only a few minutes walk from Grafton St. Comfy bed, nice room, and delicious breakfast.
One of the male staff on the reception desk was rude and dismissive during check-in and literally had no time for us whatsoever. Thankfully, the man who checked us in was much more pleasant.

Lovely hotel
The room was lovely we had a triple room. It was very spacious. All the staff members we met were all very friendly
Only a small issue, it was a warm day when we stayed and the room had no air-conditioning. A fan was provided but it didn't make any difference in the room temperature.

Great spot in Dublin
The room was fantastic way above what we expected! Bathroom was also massive, which was a pleasant surprise. We would absolutely stay again. The staff were all very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us.

Absolutely amazing, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The city centre location is fantastic, we were at an event at the Iveagh Gardens situated just behind the hotel. The staff were extremely helpful with information regarding the car parking, discount was applied for using the Hotel. The hotel was exceptionally clean, the porter that was situated at the lift ensuring the ease of flow due to a busy check in was also amazing, all the staff that we encountered on our stay were fantastic, I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.
N/A, we had no issues at all.

Modern. Loved the out door area. Food excellent. Location. People. Comfortable bed. And room.
At first we were given a room without air conditioning, on a very hot day approximately 30 outside! Returned to reception and Kevin, Orla and team sorted it for us. We were very pleased with the facilities in the end- thank you.
