Overall service was good but we were in a triple room (3 adults) but room only set for 2. We asked reception 3 times and different staff members for additional mug and glass but still to be provided so gave up!

Hotel's Favourite
This hotel is beautiful, modern and has everything you need. Nice, clean and spacious rooms. The decor throughout is really lovely and the bar area is great, serving lots of great drinks! Cannot fault the staff here, they go above and beyond. Also, you really cannot fault the breakfast, it’s very good. Great location on O’connell street, close to everything. We came to Dublin as a couples trip away and it was perfect for us. So much to do, so much to see. Although we did find it quite expensive, especially temple bar. But the area is a must see!! We visited a few lush restaurants with really good food. I would recommend the hop on, hop off bus - it was fantastic. The zoo was a great day out and definitely the Guinness factory! We would 1000% return in the future. Thank you for a great stay!

This hotel in Dublin, perfectly located to walk pretty much anywhere in Central Dublin is this busy gem. Arrived from an early flight and too early for the room, but they e-mailed me around 1.30pm to say the room was ready. Reception staff and door staff ultra friendly. The standard room was a nice size, functional and modern. Bed very comfy. No view though, the only window looked over a central void. The carpet was more lino, not luxurious, but I guess easy to clean. Breakfast was excellent, if somewhat chaotic. The staff run a good system though, rarely any waiting at busy times and well worth the visit for a quality choice. Second visit here and just as good. Secure luggage facilities. Grand foyer. Would stay here again.

Helsinki, Finland4 contributions
We expected this hotel to be as good as previous reviews. Not quite. We did get the room as early check in and that was the best part. Breakfast ok, cold coffee in the containers they bring to table. During 3 days, no change for the variety of the food. Room was opposite the elevators, a lot of noice from the by-passing customers. Bathroom floor ICE cold. Shower was floating, drain did not drain. Your feet were soaking in the shower. First night we woke up due to tissue holder fell down from the wall. It was secured only with tape. Third night someone from the staff was banging our door twice around 9 pm (first we did not even realise it was out room) and 10.15 pm ”due to air conditioner control”. We had not called anyone, when calling the reception, they had the wrong room. Well, thanks for waking us up. Last morning we came back from breakfast, cleaning was entering our room to check if it is empty. You don’t get cleaners any confirmation of checked out customers? Could be a time to get them apps on their phones? Second day cleaning was coming to room at 3pm, we were just leaving out by saying wait 1 minute. When coming back at 5.30, they were not yet finished. Please organize these schedules better. We expected more from a 4 Star Hotel and were truly dissapointed. We expected more consistent quality due to other previous RIU experiences.
