We held our wedding reception in the Iveagh garden hotel on 28th December 19 and couldn’t have picked a better venue. From my initial contact Rachel and her team went above and beyond for us and made our day perfect. Nothing was too much trouble- even when we realized we forgot flowers one of the team ran out to get them for us. We had dinner upstairs in a smaller room then a party for 200 in the downstairs room. Everyone who attended has commented on how fantastic the venue is. I’d looked at a few venues around the city and The Iveagh Garden Hotel was not only the best location and facilities but also the most reasonable. Our family stayed over night and the rooms are much bigger than I’ve seen elsewhere in Dublin city, we had no noise and breakfast the next morning was delicious.

The hotel is situated on an old Georgian street with beautiful old houses converted to business`s, nightclubs(copper face jacks only across the street) and of course hotels.
The effect is like stepping back a few hundred years, but still having access to modern conveniences.
The lobby on entry has the desired effect, with bookcases lining the shelves, fireplace and lots of comfortable seating. There is real wildflowers throughout which is a nice touch.
There was a queue on check-in, but dealt with easily and without fuss or pressure from the receptionist.
The reception area is clean, minimal and without clutter. There is a concierge in the area and available to help and very present in his manner. Dublin accent, bald and super friendly and had a taxi hailed with the magic of an invisible wand.
The rooms have rainforest showers with comfortable and welcoming pastel and crème colours throughout the bathroom.
I also had dinner here and ordered the curry, which was tasty and was eaten with speed and finished off with a shining empty plate.
Breakfast was equally good, if not better again.
To summarise: I booked this place online at a great value rate and stayed with a group while attending an event at the 3arena.
The facilities were clean, presentable and staff were helpful throughout my stay. The beds were comfortable with 3 to 4 pillows more that I needed in the bedrooms.
I would stay here again if coming back to Dublin, and this would be the first place I would check for availability.

We recently spent a girly night in this fabulous hotel. From start to finish it was an absolute dream. The hotel is spotless and very tastefully decorated. The staff were friendly and courteous. A special mention the gentleman who works at the front of house. We didn’t get his first name but he helped us with our bags, advised on where to get buses and taxis and was great fun to talk with. The breakfast buffet had a large selection of well prepared fresh fruits, cereals, pastries, hot breakfast, cheese & juices. Again the staff were very attentive to the guests offering tea/coffee and clearing plates from the tables. Our bedroom was very spacious and immaculate. The bathroom had a large walk in rain shower. The hotel is in a very central location just minutes from St Stephen’s Green. I will definitely return to this fabulous hotel.

On Saturday me and my partner went out for a nice meal as we are due our baby tomorrow!, as a last night out for the two of us. I have never went into a restaurant and felt so comfortable! Every member of staff was social distancing they had face masks on to match the uniform and were so friendly the food was OUTSTANDING!! And we were not waiting around for our food it was great service our waiter was very polite and catered our every needs! I would highly recommended to anyone who is worried about heading out for a nice meal and tables were spaced out so no one was on top of anyone, hand sanitising stations everywhere and also they took our temperatures when we come in the door. It was like a normal thing we didn’t even feel any way unsafe or uncomfortable!
Thank you to the staff of Elle’s! We will definitely be back here again! And recommended to friends and family also! Chantelle

Our stay at Iveagh Gardens was excellent. Ahead of staying we requested a cot and a room to be in a quieter section of the hotel, all of which was provided and our room was great. Even with our excessive amount of luggage, pram etc, the room was very sizeable and nicely furnished (the whole hotel is). The room was slightly warm, but we were on the 5th floor so maybe expected, but there was several fans in the room but we didn’t feel the need to use these. Concierge was very welcoming and consistently offered to help. Overall we were very satisfied with the hotel and wouldn’t think twice about returning and recommending it. Surrounding area really cool aswell, nice bars and restaurants a street or so away.

We recently stayed for three nights during a busy weekend when Ireland played the All Blacks. From the moment we stepped into the hotel we felt safe (from Covid), welcome (by all the staff) and delighted by the service we were offered. The staff were so friendly, despite the huge pressure they faced, and constantly sought us out to check if we needed anything. The arrangements at breakfast were superb and the lunch and dinners could not have been bettered. To our surprise we discovered that the hotel is completely carbon neutral, having invested in two turbines 50 meters below the hotel and driven by the river swan. The hotel is simply a delight and well worth the cost. The location is absolutely perfect, close enough to walk to Grafton Steet or St Stephen’s Green or to a myriad of bars and restaurants in Camden Street. I can only recommend it and I will be staying there in future trips to Dublin. Well done and thanks to everyone for making our trip so enjoyable.

As a family we booked 2 rooms for 8 nights, and loved our stay at the hotel. The location is great, the rooms are spacious (in particular for Dublin standard!) and very clean, the staff were super helpful & funny, the inhouse restaurant and bar was also great. The daily provided glass bottles of water were appreciated. We definitely come back to the hotel.
We were only slightly irritated that there was no fridge in the room, and no room service was available. I tried to keep a fresh orange juice over night in the room for the morning, but as the rooms were so warm it was gone off by the time I wanted to drink it at 7 am. There is an option to order food & drinks from the restaurant, but the delivery charge is an additional EUR 8 which is in my opinion is little overpriced to only order a soft drink or juice to the room - taking into consideration that you cannot keep a juice fresh overnight in the room due to the room temperature. And the rooms were very warm (an average of 25 - 26 Degrees Celsius, whilst the outside temperature was an average of 10-12 Degrees). The AC unit only works when a key card is plugged in (which is obviously not the case if you leave the room with your key card). Even with the AC setting of 17 degrees and the highest fan setting, the rooms only cooled down to 23.5 Degrees, but the bathrooms remained uncomfortably warm. We asked the hotel staff to adjust the heating and a technician came immediately. But there was not a lot what could have been done except using the AC unit.
And last but not least, I hope to see a more 'sustainable' way to provide bathroom amenities for our next stay. Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, body wash etc. was provided daily, but in very small plastic bottles. Between our 2 rooms for 8 nights we have used over 50 small plastic bottles (!!!). Furthermore (due to covid??) our hand soap bar was replaced daily (wrapped in plastic), although we easily could have used the soap bar for multiple days. I personally would welcome big dispensers filled with shampoo, and conditioner and body wash etc. fixed to the wall inside the shower.
But this did not ruin our stay at all, and we look forward to returning back to the Iveagh Garden for our next trip to Dublin.
Thanks to the staff who made our stay very pleasant!

10/10 for everything. From the moment you step foot into the hotel and your temperature is taken you are made feel at ease and relaxed. everyone from the reception staff, to the bar and restaurant staff were so kind and accommodating. The room was spotless. We ate in Elles bistro and we had beef cheek and the chicken. i am still dreaming about the beef cheek- it just melted, it was beautiful! The only thing was the room was incredibly warm, we did have the Dyson on but that is quite loud. In all we had an absolutely incredible stay and cant wait to come back.

The lobby seemed nice, but a lot of the issues came after check-in and were what seemed like cost cutting on multiple levels. First, the room I had was oddly laid out with a double bed and twin, which was squeezed in the corner. I went to use the restroom, which was subarctic and had no way of increasing the temperature. So, I thought I would just go work out. I looked up in the directory and it said under Fitness Center to see the front desk for a pass to the local gym. A That actually seemed like a great option until I realized that the "complimentary" pass (as printed on the pass) was a 15 Euro charge. I think after that I was hyper sensitive about things for a four star hotel...very cheap hangars, housekeeping that had to be requested, etc.
So, nothing egregious, but not really up to how I think about a four star place.

Stayed here for 1 night as the hotel has always looked nice from the outside. Unfortunately the majority of staff were not warm or friendly at all. The Eastern European gentleman on reception was more concerned about taking everyone’s temperature than actually welcoming guests in a friendly manner. Whilst I do understand the importance of Covid measures, the check-in was quite cold-mannered. Upon check-out one of the female staff members behind desk was gossiping about a previous guest. Yes we can hear you loud and clear from the lobby.
Breakfast room is really nicely decorated but sadly the breakfast was let down by staff who could not cope with the number of guests. It was hilarious. None of the staff apart from a young Irish female waitress smiled. So rude. I ordered a tea which took forever to order & it was hurriedly plonked on my table & they forgot the milk. I did not manage to catch staff attention to correct this since they all looked so stressed and unfriendly. Was not offered any condiments with breakfast which is not cheap.
This hotel has potential given the location & the decor but the staff really let it down and need training on customer service. I have stayed in hotels all over the world including in Dublin & given the Covid situation, one would think the staff would welcome guests & be more friendly to encourage them to return. What a shame. Disappointing. Expected more friendly service from Ireland but this was not the Irish hospitality I have been used to elsewhere.
