Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The InterContinental Dublin offers a great experience, with guests often praising the spacious and comfortable rooms, as well as the relaxing spa and pool area that includes a jacuzzi. The location in the Ballsbridge area is convenient, being close to the RDS and offering a quiet retreat, yet still accessible to the city center and within walking distance of Sandymount. While most find the experience faultless, some guests have occasionally noted that the bar evening menu could offer a few better choices.

Safi mixed delicious cocktails at the bar. He was very attentive. The spa was empty when I visited. The bed in my room was very comfy.
The hotel decor appears a little dated.

The breakfast buffet featured real honeycomb. The room service was quick and tasty with good portion sizes. I found the staff friendly and cute.
My bedroom overlooked what looked like a recycling center. There was a lot of noise from about 6am. Machines were beeping, announcing they were reversing.

Safi, the head barman, is super! his energetic smile and chat make the bar amazing. the cosy bar to the left of the lobby serves food and drinks. I totally recommend it for any evening. the swimming pool was really great too. I loved it.
The breakfast was a letdown. It was just basic. the black pudding was inedible! staff seemed more interested in tips. there was only one packet of biscuits in the room. This was surprising.
