The hotel is located in downtown. Close to bars without the noise. The staff at the breakfast buffet is super friendly and helpful. Marcela always has a smile as do the reset of the staff. We would return without hesitation.

Hotel's Favourite
The Hotel is very convenient for the AirCoach stops (Dublin Aiport <=> Dublin) and close to a range of shops and restaurants. The breakfast was great with a range of options e.g. bacon, fruit etc. The staff were professional and friendly. The visitors were international. In the morning, I went for a lovely run along the River Liffey and the central location of the Hotel was a real bonus.

On check out staff asked if we would like to leave our bags with them until later which was a great help as our flight was in the evening.

Lucia went above and beyond in allowing early occupancy of our room, which provided an opportunity to nap after an overnight flight, then start our exploration of this remarkable city. The hotel is ideally located, clean and up to date. The staff, as noted above, are professional and helpful. We’ll be staying again in a week or so, and are looking forward to revisiting this best in class experience.

Our stay was wonderful. The gentleman who checked us in on arrival was very accommodating. We arrived at the hotel from a long flight and although we were there before the stated check-in time he found us an available room and graciously allowed us to check-in early to get some rest rather than leave our luggage and return later. This was a kind and unexpected gesture. Thank you. Clean rooms. Excellent buffet breakfast (the breakfast staff are very busy but are always smiling). Excellent location. Thank you to the entire staff of the Holiday Inn Express.

Stayed here for 3 nights when visiting from Australia. Lovely friendly and super clean. Shefali was welcoming and answered all our questions thoroughly. Breakfast was delightful and definitely plentiful. I would stay here again, without question whilst visiting Dublin.
