Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre

This is an excellent hotel. The location is on the North side of the river, but Dublin is small enough that the location really doesn't matter. It isn't worth the money (in my opinion) to spend more to stay further South. The hotel is right on the 747 AirLink bus to and from the airport which is a real plus. Plus there is plenty of bus and tram service to all parts of the city within a very short walk. The hotel is modern and well kept, but a bit on the sterile side. Don't get me wrong, the rooms are nice, but nothing that you would write home about. Breakfast is excellent with plenty of seating. Staff is pleasant, welcoming and requests are acted upon in a reasonable timeframe.

Very comfortable and new

We were booked a double bed, and when we told the receptionist, she told us that as we ordered a standard room, this is to be expected, I told her that it was our 1st night of our honeymoon, (which was true) and she promised a change of room the following day.
