InterContinental Dublin

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?

Yes!

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King Classic, received One King Bedroom suite with juliette balcony

How are the rooms?
Huge living room, average size bedroom, separate dressing area. There was a closet in the foyer and a large walk in closet off the dressing area. Can't remember the brand of toiletries but they were all in the large, refillable containers.

How is the exec. lounge?
There isn't one.
Breakfast in the restaurant was excellent. Full buffet with traditional Irish Breakfast hot items and a large selection of cold items, including some of the best smoked salmon, Irish cheeses, bread, croissants, scones, fruit, cereal and fresh honeycomb. First 2 days they had a server for the hot items but not cold, then that restriction was lifted and everything was serve yourself. You could also order made to order eggs and pancakes.

Did you receive a welcome gift?
Fruit, water and a drink voucher for the Whiskey Bar

How was the minibar?
Basic but at least they had it stocked! 2 Heinekens, sparkling water, coke, diet coke, tonic, 2 Jameson's, 2 Absoluts, 2 Bombay Sapphires. No wine. The items were very inexpensive, too! I didn't come close to spending $50/day
What was good and what was bad?

-Good- The hotel is gorgeous!
- Breakfast buffet- Hotel staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful
- Location near Sandymount Dart station, about a 4 minute walk (was planning on some day trips out of the city so this worked out perfectly)- Room upgrade to suite- Was able to check in at 9am after coming off flight from US
-Bad- Not necessarily bad because I knew this in advance, but the hotel is about a 30 minute walk to the city center- Had to call to get mini bar refilled
- Mini bar charges were charged after I checked out, had to email to get them removed

Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
A little pricey but worth it
Would you return?
Yes!
