Clonfad Vacations

From the moment I arrived at the Riu Dublin, the service was exceptional. The staff at the hotel entrance welcomed me warmly, guided me to where I needed to go, and kindly helped me with my luggage. At the front desk, Korinna was wonderful friendly, patient, and always willing to explain everything with a smile. I would also like to extend a special thank you to the maintenance team. My rental car stopped working (didn't know how properly work) and even though helping me was not part of their responsibilities, several team members came over and patiently did everything they could to help me get the car into the parking area. Their kindness meant so much to me. The housekeeping staff also deserves recognition. Whenever I saw them in the hallways, they always greeted me with genuine smiles and warmth. From the day I arrived until the day I left, every member of the team was attentive, kind, and willing to help. Their genuine warmth made my experience truly special. Words cannot fully express my gratitude. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel—and especially its extraordinary staff—100%.

Perfect location for exploring the centre of Dublin! I had just completed a 16 day group tour of Scotland and Ireland, so wanted a place to rest and explore by walking. Grafton Street was a shopper’s dream! I enjoyed very much listening to the street musicians and Marks and Spencer’s food floor supplied fresh to go snacks, breakfast foods and I was even able to make pizza in the studio kitchen. I enjoyed touring Trinity College and the Book of Kells and spent a beautiful afternoon in St Stephens Green, all an easy walk away. Last dinner at Davy Byrnes, highly recommend. Only regret was I left the day of the U2 50th anniversary concert on the balcony of Bewley’s! Hope to stay at Grafton Street Studios again!

I liked the Leinster because it had more personality than most hotels that I've stayed in and also because the bar and restaurant were so enjoyable. I admired the thought that had been given to the decor but was a little baffled by the lack of any translucent covering on my window,for daytime use, in view of the proximity of the adjacent offices. It is also a pity that one can't ring another room without going through reception. However, the plusses outweigh these small shortcomings. Very nice staff in all departments.

Wonderfully located this is a first class property well worth the extra price
