Having lived in Dublin for a couple of years till recently, I knew the hotel and was aware it had a good reputation. Unfortunately it was undergoing an upgrade in the downstairs reception area during our stay, which meant the entry was a worksite of men, loose boards and a lot of sawdust.

They kept the mess to a minimum, it was just unfortunate the poor people at reception could not hear anyone checking in when they spoke, due to the sawing noise. We then found our room was 2 floors above reception, which meant the lovely drilling and sawing was still extremely loud (here's a suggestion folks - close up the rooms directly above the worksite when drilling and sawing is happening).

That said, for anyone else, these works are obviously only temporary, it was the grinding and groaning of the pipes that occurred every time you flushed the toilet that was more annoying. I had a word at reception about how loud it was, they promised maintenance would have a look - it was just a let down that upon returning late that evening, the noise was still there, and there was no word or note from the hotel. I mentioned it again upon checking out the following morning- and there seemed to be no record of the complaint.

They asked if we wanted to talk to someone more senior to complain, to which I replied that I had already notified you of the problem, as a quality hotel, I would hope that you take my advice this time and fix the problem and do not let down any more customers.

As an aside - I am a big fan of Aqua Di Palma bath products, big plus for the Westbury having these. Big minus for not replacing the used bottles for the 2nd day - that is a bit cheap.

Oh - and another bizarre thing - there is a great drip coffee maker in the room - however there are no tea making facilities, when we enquired about this we were told you have to order tea via room service. I have NEVER encountered this in my life. Very strange :0
Overall it is in a great location (as are many other hotels in Dublin though).. The staff were friendly and helpful.. I would recommend in a few months time AFTER the renovations are over :)

Just returned from Dublin and The Westbury, celebrating a birthday with my sisters, and we were all so impressed. A great hotel in a perfect location for shopping, restaurants and all the sights of Dublin. Our rooms were tastefully decorated, Aveda products in the bathroom, the beds and pillows fantastically cosy, staff friendly and helpful - we felt safe and comfortable and loved the hotel. It is quite pricey, although we got a very good deal, but as we wandered the city and came across other hotels we had considered, we were so pleased with our choice. It had everything we wanted, and shopping at the end of the street - heaven!

My girlfriend and i recently spent the weekend at the Westbury Hotel. A friend of mine had stayed there a few weeks back and had told us what a brilliant stay he had and so thought we would give it a try as well.

It was our anniversary and so decided to give ourselves a bit of a treat.

We arrived at around 11am on the Friday and were immediately given a room even though it was not yet check in time. We were given one of their recently refurbished rooms, which was really great. Their new rooms really are something special and would rival any other world class 5 star hotel room. We booked a table for 2 in their new Wilde The Restaurant. This is such a classy, slick, modern grillroom. The food was fantastic, the wine even better and the service impeccible. We trully felt like royalty. Whoever did the decor in the new restaurant defintely knew what they were doing.The restaurant manager was really friendly and took the time to come to our table to find out how our dinner was. My girlfriend and i choose to go out regularly for dinner and we both agreed that Wilde was probably one of the best restaurants we have ever been to in Dublin.

We decided to have a cocktail after our dinner in the Marble Bar. This bar had a very trendy atmosphere, and although it was getting later in the evening, the bar was still very busy. They have an extensive cocktail menu which my girlfriend found most tempting. Service here was also very good.

Cant wait to go back to the Westbury ! Brilliant....

Hi , I stayed for a weekend at the westbury with my fiance and loved every minute of it. We just loved the room and the restaurant was magnificent. I want to come back just to order some of the other dishes from the menu! Absolutely perfect when you want to get away from it all for a weekend and spoil yourself. We were close enough to the shops for herself yet when we got back to the hotel, we couldnt have been further from the busy streets. We didnt feel rushed in the restaurant or bar at any stage and the staff were courteous at all times. I will definitly come back the next time we go away for a weekend.
