The Westbury Hotel, Dublin

Balfe St, Dublin 2, Ireland (show on map)

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“This traditional hotel enjoys an enviable location just off Dublin’s main shopping thoroughfare, Grafton Street. Recent renovations have given new life to The Westbury’s classic atmosphere: flourishes of modern decor take on an Asian-meets-Western aesthetic with cool, rich tones.”

Fodors review:

“This luxurious, chandelier-filled, modern hotel just off Grafton Street is a favorite with elegantly dressed Dubliners who stop for afternoon tea in the Gallery, the spacious mezzanine-level main lobby, furnished with a grand piano and a grand view out onto the bustling streets.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Dublin.

Frommers review:

“Basically conceived with well-heeled shopaholics in mind, this top-end hotel on busy Grafton Street is a luxurious and stylish retreat. The lobby is vast and grand, with sofas designed to keep your posture perfect as you gossip. Bedrooms are huge and modern.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Dublin.

Forbes review:

“In its relatively short life of 30-plus years, The Westbury has elevated itself beyond many hotels in the Irish capital. Hidden away off Grafton Street, straddling the city’s bustling shopping and creative quarters, the hotel its now as intrinsic a part of the Dublin experience as the Ha’penny Bridge.”

Telegraph review:

“The luxurious Westbury offers excellence in facilities, service and gastronomy, plus a beguiling dash of the personal touch. All this, plus an unrivalled location in the very centre of Dublin’s main shopping and entertainment district.”

Beautiful hotel, staff were all very pleasant. Rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. Location is perfect with shops, bars, and restaurants on the doorstep.

The hotel I felt was not suitable for kids, as most areas were restricted from kids. Adults only bar, Balffs we couldn't order drinks without ordering food.. I felt there were a lot of rules and restrictions. I didn't feel relaxed.

Probably taking bookings for breakfast would save standing in a long queue. It would ensure that everyone does not arrive for breakfast at the same time.

WILL DEFINITEY RETURN, DINNER IN WILDE AMAZING

SUPERB LOCATION. STAFF WERE EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT THE HOTEL. ONE NICER THAN THE NEXT AND VERY EFFECIENT. WHAT I REALLY LIKED WAS THE HOTEL KEPT SEATS FOR RESIDENTS IN THE BARS WHICH WAS REALLY GREAT, WE HAVE STAAYED IN A 5 STAR HOTEL IN THE PAST AND THEY DID NOT ADOPT THIS POLICY. DEFINITELY WAS FOR US A BIG BONUS THAT THEY PUT RESIDENTS BEFORE THE PUBLIC TO ENSURE SPARE SEATS KEPT IN THE BARS.

FULL IRISH BREAKFAST WAS A BIT MEAN. ONLY 1 SAUSAGE. SAYING THAT THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT, SO WAS FOOD AND NO ISSUE FWHEN MY HUSBAND DID REQUEST ANOTHER SAUSAGE

Expensive but a lovely hotel

It is such a fabulous hotel I enjoy sitting in the lounge having a drink and watching everyone having a great time

I wanted to have tea in the lounge before I left it was 11am- a staff member (with a white jacket) said she could not seat us as she had afternoon tea bookings-I was annoyed at this since it was early morning an she didn’t seat us

Location location location

Extremely overpriced for one night €600 Food was average at best and again over priced €200 for two of us and only 2 glasses of wine and one cocktail in that. It’s a bit tired now, needs a makeover for a 5 star

Hotel, staff and location... perfect. However kids breakfast was too expensive.

You cannot beat the location. The staff were incredibly friendly and were all super nice to our two children. The beds were really plush and all the extra little touches in the bedroom made it super comfortable.

Myself and my kids are all vegetarian. I ordered a vegetarian omelette and a boiled egg for my kids. My omelette had ham in it, I didn't realise it till i ate some and my kids boiled eggs randomly arrived with bacon. The did take the price of my meal off the bill for breakfast but in reality should have done more. Getting dietary requests wrong is a big deal. Breakfast was 36 per adult and 25 per child (my kids are 3 and 4 and barely ate an egg and some fruit).
