Hilton Dublin Kilmainham

Hilton Dublin Kilmainham

10/10 Excellent
"A very clean and nice hotel. Staff from the departments we had encounter with were helpful and full of smiles. Breakfast was good. Mini fridge in room was useful. The swimming pool was good. The hotel location was perfect for us with bus 60 that stops right in front of the hotel and G1, G2 stops about five minutes walk away. Bought three days pass that can be used on all public transport. It was a nice experience in all."

8/10 Good
"This hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The building appears to be recently built and it is close to two Luas stops giving you access to the city. The rooms are tiny, which is not a bother for me but may be a deal breaker for others. My issue was the beds themselves… I have never slept on something so uncomfortable. I get the point of a firm mattress, but those mattresses were like sleeping on concrete slabs. Plus, you are only provided one pillow and it’s as thin as paper. The staff happily provided additional pillows upon request but extra pillows did not solve the comfort issue."
