The Leinster is a charm! I stayed with my husband before a Jack L concert in Pepper Cannister Church . We had exquisite cocktails ( try the espresso martini! )in the Collins club and bites from the food menu . Goats cheese, chicken with slaw , sea bass, blood orange muillefuille all perfection. The room was beautifully styled with great attention to detail and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast in Jean - Georges rooftop restaurant was also exceptional , fabulous city views, gorgeous decor and ambiance and the French toast was unparalleled . I mean really, truly ,exceptional . Finally the staff were magnificent. From reception at check in and check out really exemplary service . At breakfast also really wonderfully attentive and pleasant service without being overbearing. All in all the best hotel experience I’ve had in Ireland for quite some time . Keep it up Leinster Hotel. You are definitely going places 👏👏👌💡

One of the best hotels we have visited as a family, we came here for my sons 18th and we were not disappointed, from the moment we walked in and Martin looked after us, nothing was too much… the restaurant on the 5th floor I would recommend to anyone Jean Georges awesome.. I had an awkward moment when i was choking on my venison and Hugo the waiter, basically he saved my life!!.. however, he was embarrassed with my €50 tip… which I thought still wasn’t enough!..

I'd give the hotel 3.5 out of 5 stars as it was better than average but unfortunately, just wasn't the experience I was expecting, based on other reviews I'd read . The staff are lovely and full credit to them , but the hotel itself just doesn't equate to a 5* experience for me, especially the room . We booked a studio suite but it just felt like a standard room. For me there was definitely no wow factor . In addition and whilst I know this is a boutique hotel , the lack of proper clothes storage and what storage is available is on view constantly , was irritating and just detracts from the experience . The balcony was a massive disappointment . Whoever designed the hotel clearly didn't think that a view was important . A far better design would have been to have the rooms with balconies offering a decent view of the city /at the front , rather than at the back of the hotel /overlooking the back of properties , some of which looked in disrepair . The balcony was also a poor design , pretty cramped and not somewhere you would enjoy being outside . It also seemed to attract flies constantly - I don't know whether the bins were below anywhere but this coupled with the other issues made the balcony unusable .There was also an unpleasant smell of drains in the lobby for the duration of our stay , I did mention it to staff in passing but they didn't seem to recognise it as an issue although it was definitely noticeable . We had drinks in the Colins bar one evening and I really liked the venue . I did enjoy it although both my partner and I found the cocktails were just average - I had expected a much better choice and selection . We also had dinner in the restaurant, one evening - my partner's was excellent mine enjoyable but again , I wasn't wowed . Overall , I think I was foolishly taken in by the social media hype surrounding this hotel but which didn't translate into a 5* experience unfortunately and isn't worth what we paid .

Great design, reasonably priced food in the bar, cod was lovely. Friendly and efficient staff. Nice crowd, but I think that their target market is probably younger than we are. The music appears to get louder as the evening progresses. Definitely worth a visit.

We stayed at The Leinster Hotel for 2nights in September and found the hotel absolutely stunning. Our room was gorgeous and had everything we could have needed and more. There is a minibar to purchase items from and also chocolate, popcorn and various other items. The bathroom was amazing with good quality toiletries and a Japanese toilet which had a heated seat and a remote control to offer you a wash and dry! The room also had slippers and bathrobes and a Dyson hairdryer. Our bed was enormous and very comfortable. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to but there are plenty of taxis to be found also. The staff were all very friendly and helpful too. we had breakfast in the beautiful roof top restaurant and the only negative point was that they didn't have any decaffeinated tea. We visited the ground floor bar on the first night and although it is a lovey setting sadly cant recommend the cocktails. For me personally, having a cocktail is a treat and I enjoy the process of watching it being made but mine was bought to me ready made in a bottle and just poured into the (very small) glass in front of me with no ice or fruit garnish. Although it tasted nice it was very overpriced for the lack of effort involved.
