Water is the official perk. Unofficial amenities were eliminated, but water must still be provided. People should complain.

Am staying Sunday night - will mention/show the HH policy if no water given and report back

Hi all,

Quick update...I flagged the conversation about the Hilton Dublin Airport to the Hilton HHonors team. Upon speaking to the property directly, it was confirmed that all Silver, Gold, and Diamond Hilton HHonors members should be receiving their water amenity as part of their HHonors on-property benefits. There may have been a miscommunication along the way in notifying members of this benefit. The hotel team will be addressing this going forward and will be sure to communicate all program benefits to elite members at check-in.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for sharing!

No problem in that respect for us. Just completing a 2 night stay and room had 4 bottles of water in room, 2 still and 2 sparkling. These were replenished with 2 further complimentary bottles on the second night.

Stayed here for 2 nights prior to flights to US. Had read mixed reports about hotel, but went ahead and booked the Sale rate. A phone call to the hotel informed me that the hotel only had 4 suites, so decided to book suite. Got taxi from airport for 15 euros instead of waiting some time for shuttle bus. Informed at check-in that we could have full buffet breakfast in restaurant. Suite was good size with large lounge/dining area and had a fridge and water was also provided. Bathroom a bit dated with separate corner shower, but as mentioned by others, water pressure very low. Bed was firm but comfortable and we both slept well. Enjoyed the buffet breakfast and we also had omelettes which are available on request and cooked to order. Restaurant staff were very friendly and chatty. Opposite hotel is a medium sized shopping mall with a few small eateries and shops but mainly a very large Tesco supermarket. Adjacent to the mall is a diner serving burgers etc. Next door to the hotel is a Chinese/Thai restaurant where we ate one night and enjoyed the meal. Reception staff informed us about buses into Dublin city centre, which stopped outside the shopping mall. Cost 2.7 euros each and took about 25 minutes. As also mentioned by others, the internet was very slow, but being on holiday it didn't bother us too much. Checkout was swift and we booked the shuttle bus back to the airport the previous night, which was just as well, as some people were unable to catch as it was full and they had to get taxis. Shuttle takes about 12 minutes to get to airport. Overall a pleasant stay. On our return from US, we are staying at the Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport so will be able to compare.

Thank you for clarifying this Lauren^

I'm here in a couple of weeks, will report, but it's always been a bit hit and miss. If you get time, you must visit Howth and have the smoked fish and chips- yummy!

Sad that the drinks vouchers have gone here. It was the nice perk that meant I felt fondly of the hotel and made up for the coach being 2 Euro on the way back to the airport, and being slightly further away. It was just a little nudge that helped me along my way to booking. Instead, I'll probably end up booking the Raddison, Crowne Plaza or the Bewley's Hotel (it has a new name which I forget but have stayed there a few times on trips between the UK and US with an overnight in Dublin). Those three hotels are all around the same quality as the Hilton, significantly closer (esp. the Raddison) and often around the same price. The drinks vouchers pushed Hilton over the edge in a 'samey' hotel environment around the airports - plus I'm sure they got a decent number of add-on sales at the hotel too - I certainly bought a drink or two after using the vouchers. Hopefully, the nuts that you got in some of the rooms are still there - they were yummy!

As an aside, I must also admit that the hotel's breakfast is excellent The suites are good too as are the standard rooms. Clean and (mostly) quiet.

I love how often this gets mentioned

Hi all,

Just noting a recent 'change' at this hotel as I'm staying there soon.

They mention that:

"Please note that our Airport Shuttle now collects from Zone 16 at the Airport. There is no change to location but different in Zone number only."

I've updated the wiki to this effect. It looks like DUB have just relabelled some of the zones but the shuttle bus still goes from the same place, the same little walk and near the chapel (i.e. Zone 14 was relabelled Zone 16)

Here is the shuttle timetable (which includes the updated information re: Zone 16.)

Spent the night a few days ago. Shuttle trip back to the airport is now free to Gold and above members.

A bus trip out to Malahide is a nice way to spend a bit of time when staying at the hotel.

Hilton Dublin Airport refurbishment info as given on TA by the General Manager, as part of his response to a posted review:

That's good news for this particular property at Dublin Airport, DUB, Ireland.

Cheers & Safe Travels. ^

Wish I had checked before booking here again. No drinks voucher and just water. Breakfast isn't important as leaving before breakfast service starts. Must remember next time to stay elsewhere. Only bright spot is the recently opened Eddie Rockets so I don't need to buy dinner at the Hilton!

In regards of Eddie Rockets, it's very good, we've tried it while staying at the Hilton DUB in mid-October before our flight to Faro. ^

Cheers & Safe Travels. ^

Where is this Eddie Rockets that you speak of?

I can see one in Swords but nothing closer to DUB. Is this the one?
