I was genuinely impressed with the quality and service at the Holiday Inn Express in Dublin. For a three-star hotel, it operates at the top of its category, exceeding expectations in every way. From check-in to checkout, everything was smooth, efficient, and well-managed. The room was spotless and thoughtfully designed. While luxury isn’t expected at an Express hotel, I was pleasantly surprised to find bathrobes and slippers, a small but meaningful touch that shows genuine care for guest comfort. The bed was cozy, the lighting well-planned, and the water pressure excellent. Breakfast was perfect, hearty, fresh, and consistent. The buffet offered all the essentials (eggs, sausages, pastries,…

Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre by IHG averages 4.4 out of 5 across 2,795 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The breakfast was truly excellent, a wide variety of fresh options, beautifully presented and constantly replenished. A great way to start the day. What really made the difference was the reception team. Everyone was kind and helpful, and we especially appreciated Leticia's warm welcome. She went out of her way to assist us and even made a lovely effort to speak Spanish with us, which we truly valued. A fantastic experience overall. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Nice solid stay in a fun busy area. The free breakfast runs for a handful of hours in the morning, so very easy to make it. Not the best flavored spread but plenty that can fill up your belly. The lobby has water dispenser at night but will charge you for tea/coffee after breakfast. Showers provided with Dove soap/Shampoo. Plentiful pillows and towels in the room. The lobby/entire building smells delicious. Feels very safe and cleanliness was fantastic.
