The Leinster

Expedia says there is a gym and swimming pool here which was my main reason for booking but neither of these areas are open yet and the hotel does not make this explicitly clear. Whilst the staff were very nice it seemed a little disorganised at the front desk and had a whiff of someone opening their first hotel. For the price the level of service is not quite there yet. Cleanliness was first rate. The opaqueness over the spa and pool opening though is unforgivable for a hotel in this bracket

I loved this new hotel in Dublin. The room was small but super comfortable with a great bathroom. The restaurant on the top floor was top flight. Food, ambience, service all great with a beautiful rooftop view of Dublin.

Wonderful stay at this new boutique hotel within walking distance to the main attractions. The hotel is beautifully decorated throughout. The staff (particularly Merton!) are really helpful, polite, and welcoming. The room was absolutely spotless (thank you, Larissa, for your great attention to detail!), and the bed was one of the comfiest I have ever slept it. The breakfast is delicious, and is served in a lovely setting. The gym is also great - small, but definitely big enough and with plenty of weights, which is often rare in hotels. I cannot imagine anywhere better to stay if we are lucky enough to come back to Dublin!

Roof top restaurant was wonderful. Great food and views.

Lovely hotel. Nice rooms and very clean. Check out time is good. Website not very clear. Missed opportunity for the sauna and steam room due to this. Contacted hotel and no response.

Beautiful boutique hotel with a lovely upscale bar serving an interesting menu of cocktails and small plate options.

Very clean and staff was friendly. They held our luggage until room was ready. Once we were able to check in, our luggage was already in our room waiting for us. Breakfast at Jean-Georges was delicious and drinks at the Collins lounge were smooth and satisfying. There is a nice park nearby with artists selling their work, as well as, cute cafes and shops all walking distance from the hotel. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again.

What a fabulous hotel with amazing dining options and great service! Loved the comfort, decor, and hospitality! Really a gem!

A strange one really, the hotel really is just a room + gym (if you want) - nice bar and restaurant, but only if you pre-book - no flexibility otherwise for hotel guests, which is strange

The Leinster is a glamorous, welcoming haven with comfortable beds, original artwork on the walls, and thoughtful touches throughout the hotel. It leans into maximalist decor, embracing colour and texture; I loved the plush velvet window seat in our room, which was a cozy writing nook for me in the mornings. The hotel is located on a quieter street but is a quick walk or bus ride away from popular areas like Trinity College or St. Stephen's Green, and many restaurants and shops. The hotel's lobby bar, the Collins Club, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Awash in warm light, it buzzes with conversation and tunes from a live DJ on weekend evenings, but the baby grand piano in the corner of the bar hints that its personality may change by day. The other corner is home to an array of machines that allow CC's award-winning team to re-distill and infuse spirits for their carefully crafted and delicious cocktails. I enjoyed everything, but the rhubarb gimlet and padron pepper margarita were standouts. In other hands, all this could feel intimidating, but the staff team were welcoming, finding a table for us on a busy Friday, answering our nerdy questions, and ensuring we felt at home.

I've travelled all over the world, and this is one of the best stays I've had anywhere. Everything was flawless, from the room to the service. I loved every minute of my stay and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Great location and very clean. Staff were 10/10 too.

1. No clothes closet - just hangers in the room passage 2. Drinking water not replenished after the first night 3. Drainage in shower area not fixed despite asking for it to be attended to.

We really enjoyed our stay, everyone was really welcoming and the room was clean and stylish

The rooms were spotless and no expense spared when furnishing the hotel. Mara on Reception was very friendly and extremely helpful

Very clean Great location

Excellent staff; great intro to the hotel. The hotel didn’t catfish, it was as clean, cozy and luxurious as anticipated. I was apprehensive about the size of the room, however quite spacious. Happy I added the breakfast option to the room.

The rooms are small and too much time, money and effort has been spent on unnecessary niceties and not enough on basics like space and comfort. The fancy toilet does not compensate for the difficulty in getting in and out of the shower or the fact that the shower door doesn't fit and restults in water all over the bathroom floor. The cost of the items in the mini bar is disgusting and having to pay a €100 'deposit' is also very off putting and frustrating. We paid extra for something special for our 30th wedding anniversary and got bog standard. We would not recommend The Leinster.

Great area just a bit off the beaten path but walkable to everything. Hotel was well maintained, nice on the eyes and great service.

The room is very nice and a lot of nice touches. However, it's small and there is really no place to hang up your clothing or put away stuffs.

Great bathroom - heated floors, Japanese toilet! Only one issue - there is not a real closet or dresser. It was fine just a little weird.

Friendly staff. Clean comfy room. Best bed ever. Rooftop restaurant is amazing. Killer breakfast. Only thing is that I arrived the day before the marathon. Staff seemed to have no idea about road closures or how to direct me to where I wanted to go, even though it was literally right outside the front door making the Leinster inaccessible from 3 directions for about 36 hours. One staff member seemed to not even know it was outside. Not sure if they were messing with me or not. It was all just weird. However, I loved my stay and would go back. Also, loved the gym!

The hotel and the decor was absolutely stunning, the o lot downside was the bed was so hard we both had terrible nights sleep, and unfortunately the room they put us in was directly opposite the lift which was so noisy all night long and on the Saturday night the music from the Collins club was so loud well into the night, however the staff were very friendly and helpful, the decor was exceptional as were the room facilities and the Jean-Jacques restaurant served exceptional food

Brand new hotel. The room was nicely appointed and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was compact but more than sufficient. The food at the restaurant on the top floor was very good. The only negative was the room was very small. There was minimal space between the bed and the walls and almost no place to store or hang clothes. We had to store our suitcases by the door so that we didn’t trip over them. This wasn’t a big deal for us because we were only there one night and didn’t spend much time in the room. It would be an issue for a couple staying longer who wanted to unpack.

This is a difficult review to write because there is a lot to like about this ery attractive hotel. However, the room design needs a re-think. I stayed in a Standard room (16 sqm). I like the attention paid to the appearance of the hotel generally - the lighting, the art, the patterns/colours, the wall coverings, fittings, etc. Perhaps a little too busy for some peoples' taste but clearly a lot of time/money had been spent. Where it really falls down for me is the impracticality of the room. I had a carry-on case and still there was not enough floor space to be able to lay it down and unpack things. With a larger, checked in case, it would have been been even worse. The drawer unit is full of luxurious touches, but I don't think these should be prioritised over the practical necessity of unpacking a case, which virtually everybody will need to do. A lot of space is taken up with a generous mini bar selection, snack selection, cocktail shaker (!?) etc. These things would be great in a larger room. A photo shows that I couldn't even open the drawers fully with the stools in their positions. The staff were all great. There was no safe in the room which I was surprised about. The reception offered to lock things in their safe for me - passport in my case. However, I was not given any kind of paperwork/receipt. I felt quite uneasy about this and frankly I think it leaves both the hotel and guests vulnerable in a dispute, esp if cash is involved.

Hotel is lovely but ltd space in the rooms, no storage for clothes or bags and only 2 hangers. Also very disappointed that couldnt use the hotel bar, wanted to have a couple of drinks both pre and after our dinner but were told as we hadnt booked we were not allowed in. It was my birthday and had we been informed we needed to book when checking in we would have. Put a big downer on the evening.

Beautiful, elegant hotel, stuff was excellent however zero closet space!! There was absolutely nowhere to put our luggage or hang any items or store any clothing. It’s really a shame , they should figure out something for guests. Otherwise great hotel

Excellent location, well trained staff and friendly

Staff was excellent in all ways. Food and drinks were very good. Staff had lots of knowledge and pride in the local area and always willing to share their personal favorites. Lovely place.

An absolute perfect experience. The staff is the star of the show, every person I interacted with, from the friendly faces at check-in to the incredibly attentive restaurant team, was professional and kind. The room was a dream, modern, exquisitely designed, and immaculate. It had all the high-tech touches you could want without feeling cold. I cannot wait to return again and soon i hope.

Staff went above and beyond - I can’t compliment them enough

This is a great hotel but my ‘after check out’ experience has been far less than satisfactory. While at the hotel everything was faultless - could not have been happier. However the hotel charges (not holds) a €100 deposit they state is refunded on check out. At check out I was advised this would occur. However I was not refunded the full amount despite no consumption of any mini bar items during my stay. I have reached out to the hotel twice to seek to understand the reason and have received no response. This has really left a negative feel. It’s robbery when there is no justification for charges and no one at the hotel seems to want to liars with me. Beware!!

The staff of the Leinster were very friendly and professional and made sure my wife and I had everything we needed.

Beautiful hotel! Amazing staff throughout the property. Highly recommend it.

The staff was amazing and very patient with me because I kept adding nights! The room they upgraded me too was absolute perfection and I never wanted to leave. I changed my plans to stay longer! Having the gorgeous terrace upstairs was truly special and the Jean-George restaurant was spectacular. Don’t miss the full tasting menu. Thank you to all the staff for taking care of me at a rather difficult time after my mom passed. Forever grateful for your team!

I’d have liked it to be a bit closer to the shopping but otherwise it was a lovely room, nicely decorated with everything you would expect - and a Japanese toilet to boot, which was a first. The staff were friendly and informative. Overall it could not be faulted.

Fabulous room. Great staff. The only drawback was the location. It was a 20 minute walk at least to the inner city. Further than I would have liked. And not directly on the tram line.

Very clean Great location

Lovely hotel The breakfast was fabulous with lovely views and the 2 girls serving our table were brilliant. Its about a 15 min walk to the city centre, probably a little quiet on the street at night for walking, but other than that we had a perfect stay.

Great area just a bit off the beaten path but walkable to everything. Hotel was well maintained, nice on the eyes and great service.

Reception staff welcoming and informative. We were not there for long, and had a busy programme; so can’t speak for breakfast, restaurant or leisure facilities. Rooms well-appointed, clean and comfortable – although less than generous in size and clothes-hanging space. Well situated near Merrion Square, an area of beautiful buildings.

Great stop out of the way enough to be quiet but walkable to the action

New hotel so everything is very modern in a good way. Love the decor. Close walk to merrion square and st Stephen’s green.

Roof top restaurant was wonderful. Great food and views.

Everything was amazing! Small delay with breakfast but it was clearly communicated and had no impact on our experience. Breakfast was so good as were the cocktails and room.

We had a wonderful stay at The Leinster. The staff were lovely, rooms were beautiful and breakfast at Jean George was the cherry on top!!
