Very good
The room was a good size, the bed was big and cozy. There's a huge shower, which was wonderful! The staff at check-in were super nice and I felt warmly welcomed right away. The location in regard to the city is also good: very close to Grafton Street, Iveagh Gardens (of course), and St. Stephen's Green, without being in the middle of the main hustle
There are two night clubs close by, and unfortunately the windows won't keep all the noise out. I brought ear plugs that helped wonderfully. I opted out of room service most of the days, but the one day that my room was actually cleaned, my PJs were just quite carelessly tossed to the night stand, which just doesn't keep up with the standard of the hotel. The hanging space for clothing is a bit tight. I was there for a wedding, so between my rain-wet coat and three dresses that mustn't get spoiled, I would loved just a few inches more

Excellent accommodations in the heart of Dublin.
The location of the hotel was absolutely perfect; everything around central Dublin felt very close and walkable. The staff was also very helpful and welcoming, informing us that we were able to get a take-away breakfast for our early flight home.
We requested a wake-up call for the morning of our flight, but unfortunately, we never received one. However, since we had set our own alarms on our phones, we had no worries getting up in time for our flight.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Iveagh Gardens Hotel - great hotel, great staff, great location !
Lovely hotel, staff were great from start to finish, helping with a number of queries throughout our stay. Modern, warm and welcoming & a great breakfast reasonably priced at €17 if reserved the night before. Would recommend and would stay there again without hesitation.
Small things you notice after three days - shower was limited to a certain heat that was slightly below what I would have chosen - but really liked the controls being in a very useful position - the tap in the sink was crammed in the corner - awkward for cleaning teeth/splashing face. There were no robes or slippers (not the end of the world but always a nice touch). TV was next to useless - limited choice of channels and some not working and one of the double plug sockets was not working (Room 3114) - the air-conditioning was heating only so you could not cool the room other than turning the control off and opening a window (difficult to manage when very cold outside) - none of this was worthy of a complaint (I did check the heating) but niggled and stopped it being a 5 star review - however best comment I would give is that we would return without hesitation - the above comments are meant constructively.

Great location and cleaning
The cleaness and the location were the highlight for me.
The restaurant and spending the new year there was disappointing, basically they promoted a 5 course dinner and then made a plate with 3 small pieces of dessert count as one...felt wrong

Had dinner one evening, the waiting staff were inexperienced and not well trained. They misunderstood my order, and later attempted to take my plate away while I was still eating.

Double check you've air con
We always do an overnighter I the 2erd December in Dublin. We usually stay at the same hotel but this year we decided to change it. This hotel is really lovely. Clean and quiet enough for a city with a great bar. Our room was so spacious and on the 5th floor with a fab view of the Dublin skyline. Bathroom was fab huge shower and luxurious fluffy towels. Lovely staff so friendly
Hot room so so hot 🔥such a pity I had checked and they had air con but it wasn't working a member of staff did cone up to try and get it working but there was nothing he could do. He did offer us a change of room but it was 11am and we were only staying one night, we made the best use of the fan in the room but it was still uncomfortably hot 😔 on looking at other reviews it seems I'm not the only one that has had this problem 😑
