Hilton Dublin Airport, Dublin Ireland, Part 3

Rooms

 

There are three room types bookable:

 

- Double Hilton Guest Room

- Double Hilton Deluxe Guest Room

- Family Rooms.

 

The color scheme of the modern rooms is brown and red. They come with two pieces of art, one a photograph of a seascape, the other is a contemporary print.

All rooms with an uneven number overlook the air-conditioning units and an apartment block; even numbered rooms overlook the city and Clare Hall Shopping Center .

The size for the Double Guest Rooms and Double Hilton Deluxe Rooms is the same (26 square m / 280 square ft). The Family Rooms are slightly larger with 33 square m or 355 square ft.

All rooms have a flat screen TV, a wardrobe, safe, minibar, comfortable writing desk and double bed(s), alarm clock, hair dryer (hidden in the writing desk), further storage space, a coffee table with chair and ottoman.

The bathrooms offer a bath tub and shower combination and until now Crabtree & Evelyn amenities, which is going to change to Peter Thomas Roth worldwide, hopefully by the end of the year.

 

Guests staying in the Double Guest Room receive two bottles of water for free. The chair doesn't have a cushion, and there is no body lotion in the bathroom.

 

The middle rooms, I mentioned earlier, have a brown cushion, but still no body lotion.

 

The Double Deluxe Guest Rooms offer four bottles of water, a red cushion, same color as the chair, and body lotion.

 

I can't comment on the Family Rooms. Obviously we don't have kids, so the need has never arisen.

 

There are also a few corner rooms. They are larger than the Double Deluxe Hilton Guest Rooms and have a foyer. Access to the elevators is very easy. The corner rooms are just opposite.

The hotel offers also a suite, but I guess that's kept for the bride and groom, if they celebrate their wedding at the property or Diamond holders.

 

We liked all the rooms we had so far (Double, middle, Double Deluxe and the corner rooms).

Some show wear and tear, like scratched furniture, difficult to open / close bathroom doors, etc. Once or twice I encountered a telephone that had been moved from another room to the one we were staying in and had still the old room number on it. It can be confusing, if the guest doesn't remember in which room he or she is staying in.

Rooms on the first and second floor located over the bar/restaurant can experience some noise from the live music on Fridays/Saturdays, but otherwise the hotel is very quiet.

Overnight rates start from around 60 Euros / ca. 85 USD for the Double Rooms without breakfast to 115 Euros / ca. 160 USD.

The Deluxe Double starts from around 80 Euros / ca. 110 USD to 135 Euros / ca. 190 USD.

Of course sometimes the rates are higher, depending on how far in advance it’s booked, how many other guests/groups have booked, if you use prepaid rates, special offers and so on.

The hotel offers also a business package, park & fly, breakfast included or breakfast and dinner included.
