"The bar here, on the ground floor is glorious. It’s got a real roaring 20s vibe and the restaurant upstairs in excellent. What about the hotel bit? In a fit of economy, I booked the small single room you can see on TripAdvisor (the hotel calls it a “nook”) for c.320 Euros a night. That was a mistake. The door hits the bed, and when you sidle round, the bed touches three walls (one at the head, tail and down one side). There’s a tiny desk, too small to work at, no bedside table. Nice shower room. But you’d really have to be desperate to stay in a room like this for that price. Yes Dublin is short of good hotels, but it’s really not that short. Anyway… the hotel kindly upgraded me to a room in the conventional sense for the same price. No harm done. As others have said, even in the room, there’s no wardrobe so fine for an overnight stay but more might be challenging. Second floor still a bit noisy, so do try to push for a higher room."

"We had the most incredible experience at The Leinster Hotel for our wedding, and we cannot thank the staff enough for making our day so special. From start to finish, everything was absolutely outstanding. The rooms were truly fabulous — luxurious, comfortable, and beautifully finished, making our stay feel extra special. A huge thank you to Ben, the head chef, who ensured the dining experience was absolutely exquisite. Every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented, and so many of our guests are still talking about the food. Mara at reception was another standout — so welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. She handled everything with such grace and made us feel completely at ease. Last but certainly not least, Kaela, our amazing wedding coordinator, went above and beyond from the moment we booked right through to the very day of the wedding. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care ensured everything was exactly as I had hoped for — and more. She truly made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. We also want to mention the waiting staff, who were all so friendly, attentive, and fantastic at their jobs. Their service added so much to the overall experience. We had an absolutely amazing day and will always be so thankful to the wonderful staff at the Leinster for making our wedding unforgettable 🤍"

"Myself and a friend stayed at The Leinster as a pre Christmas treat for one night at the end of November. On arriving, it is very small, with little to no room at reception. We stayed in the Rico suite which was really lovely (but not 100% clean in the bathroom). Upon check in, we were informed that we need to book space if we wanted a drink. I thought this was a bit odd because normally as residents at a 5 star hotel, you would always have an option for a drink. We called down when we were in the room to request to book, they said they would call back but after 30 minutes when we hadn't heard back, we just headed out. We tried the restaurant (for a drink) but were told it was fully booked, we then tried the bar and although there were 6 free tables we were told we could only stay for 15 minutes (we actually only wanted half an hour). The person who greeted us was not very pleasant. We then went to reception to raise this issue and they could not have cared less. We left. The next morning, I went for a bath and the plug would not work, I did not bother calling down. The breakfast food and waitress were very good. We checked out and mentioned the issue about the drink again, there was a manager there who overheard but did not intervene with any comments. We left and were promised a bill via email, I am still waiting 3 days later. All in all, I would not stay again."
