Reviews
Park is at the door and in the basement.
Gym has a new lease of life with ample weights.
I cannot comment on the food as personally I rarely eat on site with so many options on your doorstep but hear good things.
Worth a stay in ideal location with very friendly staff.
On that. One thing I did observe while waiting for an elevator was a member of staff attending to a resident that was unwell. Reassuring them that whatever they needed the hotel would help and accommodate. I’m trying to keep this vague as frankly not my business but highlights the attention and care they place on residents.
Worth every penny.
I only had the booking id number. It took two hours to sort the booking. I don’t know if the confusion was from the hotel or trip?
If you want to have dinner by the bar the low sofas is not the best option, and some if the table sizes are quite small.
Rooms are spacious and always clean.
Location is really good.
Herbert Park Hotel – A Quiet Pocket of Elegance in Dublin
Herbert Park Hotel feels like one of those rare Dublin stays where everything slows down just enough for you to breathe. The moment you step inside, there’s a sense of understated calm — clean lines, soft light, and a lobby that doesn’t need to shout to make an impression.
My room was exactly what I look for when travelling: modern, crisp, and quietly stylish. Great bed, spotless bathroom, and a layout that actually makes sense. The views over the park add a small but welcome touch of serenity — you wake up and the world feels a little more organised.
Staff were warm in the way that matters: present when you need them, never overbearing. Coffee in the Pavilion is always a highlight, and the convenience of stepping straight into Herbert Park for a morning walk is something you can’t put a price on.
It’s a hotel that understands rhythm, space, and comfort — nothing gimmicky, just thoughtful hospitality delivered well. A solid base in Dublin, and one I’ll return to.

We had a fantastic stay at the Herbert Park Hotel. The location is perfect — peaceful and overlooking the beautiful park, yet just a short walk from the city center and great restaurants.
Our room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always with a smile and great local tips.
Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of fresh options and excellent coffee. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm, elegant, and welcoming — ideal for both business and leisure.

*edit*: Lordy the lemon meringue pies!!! Best I’ve ever had. Even beats my mum’s!! They know their pastries, even French pastries!
Dinner is good but somewhat pricey for the amount of food you get.
The to go coffee is €2 for any size coffee. The baked goods and pastries look amazing. I haven't tried them yet though.
TL:DR: Avoid. Go elsewhere. Preferably somewhere with trained staff.
Great selection of food all so fresh. Desserts to die for. I adore their cooked chicken it's something I look forward to eating weekly.
