Breakfast draws consistent praise, while dinner and bar experiences are mixed, with occasional slow service and limited menus.

Most will find it a comfortable, hassle-free base.

Lovely comfortable hotel, convenient if you want to visit the gaol and remembrance gardens. However although Luas and bus stop a 10 minute walk away, I felt location was just too far out of town. The taxi charged us 80euros from the airport which is extortionate! So would like to see an airport minibus here if possible. The bar and restaurant had a great selection of food and drink. The swimming pool was laughably small but it was nice bobbing about in the jacuzzi. Staff were pleasant and helpful. There is slight traffic noise from busy South Circular road nearby but all in all we had a comfortable stay.

We needed a pet friendly hotel with secure parking available 24 hours. The Hilton Kilmainham was perfectly located for us as we were coming into Dublin from the West of Ireland. The staff were friendly and made a fuss of our dog. We’d found finding pet friendly accommodation tricky in Ireland and the warm welcome was greatly appreciated. Also very handy for Phoenix Park. Room very comfortable and spacious. Would definitely consider staying there again.

Really enjoyed staying at this hotel. I booked a double room and asked if I could be given a room on top floor with a view and this is exactly what I was given. The room was very spacious on top floor with a great view. The bed was very big and very comfortable. My daughter and I loved using the pool. Housekeeping was excellent.

This is my second stay at this hotel. It is an ok hotel but not amazing. This visit I was unhappy with room cleaning. They didn’t start cleaning until after 4 pm when was coming back after being gone all day. Second day I came back at 5 pm and it still was cleaned and therefore didn’t get cleaned at all. The staff are nice and friendly so no problems there.

I paid, like the occupants before me, €100 for the room to be deep cleaned on my departure. This is clearly not happening because when I moved the bed i found a key card that belonged to a previous occupant. Very disconcerting to think we pay extra for a deep clean because we had a pet with us which is definitely not getting done. This is the 2nd time but when it happened before I put it down to error but can't keep doing that. Also why when we pay extra are we forced to sit outside in the cold for our meals? Surely there could be somewhere inside, separate the restaurant where we can sit and eat like civilised people, after all we pay extra for the cleaning?

We had a really lovely stay at the Kilmainham Hilton. All of the staff were really friendly, polite and helpful. The only problem was that the air conditioning system in one of the rooms we had (226) wants Woking and the room was uncomfortably hot and stuffy. We did mention it to reception and they responded quickly and sent someone up to fix it, however it went wrong again causing the room to be very uncomfortable to sleep in.

We were room 122 and the doors to the lift were banging all night people going through them then at 6 am there was louder banging from a room like furniture been moved around a few mins later followed by hoovering at this point i gave up on sleep. I felt more tired the next day not at all rested. So bits to improve the doors banging and cleaning after 7am also hats in the pool and somewhere more private to get dressed after swimming.

We arrived at the end of August and stayed 2 nights and then for one night in September. Our first room, face the Killmainham Jail. It was a large room with a king size bed. The bathroom had both a tub and a separate shower. The location was great and the hotel was very quiet. Blink 182 was playing a concert across from the hotel. We didn't hear any of the crowd on the street from our room when the concert was done. The breakfast was amazing. Ask for a voucher at the front desk. This saves you about 6 Euro off the price. My only issue is that when we arrived for our one night stay in September, our room was considerably different. I double checked that when we booked, our room category was the same for both August stay and September stay. It was. Our September room was 222. Don't stay in this room. The AC barely blew, we had someone come to look at it. She put her hand up to it, said it was cold and that was that. The bathroom had only a shower and was considerably smaller that our August room. Also, my side of our king size bed was horrible. It slanted inward towards my husband. The difference in height of the two mattresses was so significant, that I had to put a pillow between my husband and I so I wouldn't roll over to him all night. It wasn't a pleasant sleep at all. I'm not sure why we had such a great room the first stay and a crappy room for the second stay, especially when we had the same room category for both.

There was a very loud party of drunk people next door who blasted music and singing at 2am. It took staff 3 times to quiet them down, and about an hour or more for us to get back to sleep. Staff was helpful and professional, but we were surprised that it happened at a Hilton at all. There was no quiet curfew or any sort either, which is also surprising.

We had a great stay, we stayed 3 nights and everything was 1st class, the only thing was the pillows were a little lumpy & hard! I prefer a softer pillow & usually hotels offer a pillow choice. Overall very good! All staff we encountered were professional, friendly and kind, especially Valentina on the main desk offered great advice & was knowledgeable about tje local area.

I was quite disappointed with my stay here, for the money it costs I wouldn't say it was worth it. Also be aware, I paid part before I arrived and was meant to pay the rest on arrival. The hotel have ended up charging me the other half PLUS the cost of the entire stay and still have not got back to me regarding a refund for the stay that I have over paid. When we went to the bar, the staff were slow and forgot about or meals and did not bring them out. Once we asked where our meals were, they apologised but said we could only have a selected few meals off the menu at the point the kitchen was closing as the food took so long. Overall I am really disappointed and even more upset that I have essentially been charged twice for the same hotel room and no one is assisting me in the refund.

Lovely hotel in a convenient setting. Staff at reception were very friendly and attentive. The quality of food in the restaurant was mixed, and the service received on all occasions (breakfast twice, one evening meal in the restaurant and one room service) was disappointing. The food portions were generous, but this was reflected in the higher prices.
