InterContinental Dublin Hotel

The food and overall atmosphere was great, we especially enjoyed the scones! Valeria, our waiter, was enthusiastic and very helpful and helped us with any question we asked, and also helped us take some lively pictures. The only downsides were mostly that the teas were brought as loose leaves inside teapots, which would then be strained away once you poured tea into the teacup strainer. The problem with this is that if you don’t drink the tea really fast it will become bitter fast inside the teapot with no way to stop it. I had a delicious white tea that I unfortunately only could enjoy one cup of before it turned bitter. It would be better if the tea was steeped for the correct time before straining them over in the teapots. There was also an issue with one of the desserts which consisted of torched marshmallow between crackers. Unfortunately, the flame might have been a bit too intense, or not precisely aimed, as the crackers ended up tasting burnt in all of the samples we received. This lead to most of us not being able to finish that piece of dessert. Overall everything was great though, the tea rooms were pretty and we only wish we were able to see more of the garden.

This is the only place I will ever stay at when I’m in Dublin. Affordable luxury, so much care, attention to details and everyone going out of their ways to make your stay memorable..

We had a great stay at the InterContinental Dublin. The hotel was beautiful, a bit out of the way but that suited us great. The entire team was friendly and professional at every interaction and I particularly enjoyed a nice cold Guinness in the outside grounds.

The intercontinental is simply a marvel Hotel. Whilst Sone May have doubts about the fact that it’s not bang in the middle of Dublin let me assure you in my opinion that’s an advantage. Ballsbridge is a very nice location that is only about a 30 minute walk in good weather to the city Centre (and who doesn’t want to keep their steps up) . the staff are charming, polite and extremely helpful. The rooms are incredibly comfortable. The spa/pool area is in my opinion the best in Dublin. The fruit bowl outside the changing rooms is on its own worth five stars. They really is nothing to fault about the intercontinental. I have stayed in every five star hotel in the city and I keep coming back to the intercontinental for a good reason….its delightful!! I’ve now arrived at the stage where I’m proud that members of staff welcome my wife and I “back”. Truly charming!!!!!

I came to experience the Afternoon Tea and it was absolutely wonderful! I loved the variety of teas, and everything was delicious. Kauan provided excellent service and explained the teas, pastries and sandwiches in great detail. Thank you so much for such a lovely experience!
