The Fitzwilliam Hotel Dublin

Location-check, friendly and helpful-check, good room aircon-check (important to me as I was there during record heat). But for the price it is just an average experience. Citron offers average food for the price, but for those prices there are much better restaurants within a short walk. Rooms are a bit tired.

I realize newer hotels need to go "over the top" to be in the running against their competition. This property is very interesting to visit and the bar areas are scattered throughout and popular with those staying as well as locals . As for our room, we (and our young adult children who can figure out just about anything) could not figure out the lights- if you got them on one way, they did not work another. They were simply "too high tech". Our daughter told us she slept with the light on in he bathroom and just cracked the door. The shower is in the tub- not just any tub but one that needs a step stool to climb over. Great if you want to soak but for the rest of us maneuvering in and out to take a shower was a chore. The complicated hot and cold knobs were expensive I am sure, but they did not keep a constant temperature so I was continually adjusting it. The bedding was great. This room would look wonderful in a picture , but just not practical .

Good hotel with a very nice, friendly and helpful personnel. The 6th floor is a bit noisy probably because of some aircon on the roof. Nice bar and good selection of food at breakfast. I would recommend this hotel; just try to avaoid the 6th floor ;)

Bathroom not very clean . Dripping tap .No extractor fan , if there was it was not working Strong smell in lift from carpet (not a good idea ) Drinks very expensive . When asked for a cold Prosecco ice was added.

The staff, the location, the amenities and the service at the Fitzwilliam could not have been better. Our room had a lovely patio that overlooked St. Stephan's Green. The bathroom was lovely as well. I will be staying here the next time I am in Dublin.
