We just spent the better part of a week at the Brooks. From the phone calls we made ahead of our visit and throughout our stay, the front desk, concierge, and cleaning staff could not have been more pleasant, personable, or professional. The Brooks' location is excellent: beautiful central setting, plunked in the heart of Dublin. The hotel itself is tastefully decorated -elegant without being excessive- and very clean. A special thanks to concierge Connor! We feel as though we lucked into a wonderful place to stay.

We have just returned from a weekend break to Dublin and I have to say the Brooks Hotel is a fantastic hotel. All the staff were friendly and attentive,but not overpowering or " in your face", the Hotel on a whole was stylish,clean and comfy,modern but with a feel like you were stepping back in time, fantastic location just off of the top of Grafton St so whilst being right in the heart of everything south of the river it still wasnt too noisy at night. The only time we ate at the Hotel was for breakfast..fantastic combination of continental style breakfast and cooked full Irish on offer,all served fresh.. on reflection I wish we had had dinner there one evening, oh well another time maybe. Even a minor problem upon checking out,had made two reservations and the PC hadnt linked them together was solved efficiently If I was to return to Dublin then this would be the first hotel I would look to stay at!

In a word the Brooks Hotel is quite exceptional. The service staff is on-point to provide outstanding attention the moment you book your room and then walk through their doors. The reservation staff, Ms. Fitzpatrick and Ms. Forrester, were both highly attentive to my initial reservation requests and were most kind in offering advice and an upgrade of rooms to honor my wife's and my wedding anniversary. Upon arrival we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Connor O'Connell who is truly one of the finest concierges I've had the pleasure to meet. Thank you Connor for making my wife's and my stay in Dublin special. The reception desk staff is prompt, attentive, and quite efficient in their operations. Always smiling and quick to provide assistance each of the reception attendants were quite impressive. Now for the rooms and dining services.

The rooms in the Brooks Hotel are quite spacious by European standards and to be quite frank exceed the size of many U.S. hotel properties. The rooms are well-appointed and tastefully decorated. The bedding is comfortable and we found that the lines were always crisp and clean. The room's restroom was quite nice with a separate bathtub and shower. The towels, soap, shampoo, and other toiletries provided were of high quality. Much like the concierge and reception staff, the housekeeping staff are clearly quite good at their jobs as we found the rooms to be fresh and clean upon arrival and throughout the week were always extraordinarily well maintained.

The dining facilities at the Brook's Hotel are nicely situated and convenient. I appreciated how the dining area for the breakfast service was separated from the noon and evening meal dining areas. In particular the Jasmine Bar area made for a nice location to relax in the afternoon and evening as it was separated from the main dining areas. The breakfast service was quite friendly and attentive. The wait staff was always quick to greet and provide prompt attentive service. My wife and I found the breakfast foods to be very good. The prepared to order menu items were extensive and delicious. In addition, the cold buffet items were always fresh and enticing.

The location of the Brook's Hotel is quite excellent. Only a few blocks from Grafton Street (shopping and dining), Suffolk Street (tourism office and day tours), Temple Bar (restaurants and bars) and all city centre areas you will find yourself perfectly situated within Dublin for all your tourism sites. Should you need assistance on booking a tour, finding a location, or simply looking for advice you can be sure that Mr. O'Connell will be quick to offer his assistance. Should Mr. O'Connell be unavailable the other concierge staff and of course reception staff are definitely well prepared and informed.

The only recommendation for improvement that I might offer the management of the Brook's Hotel is to upgrade the fitness facility. While the sauna is nice it is evident that the fitness equipment is in need of an upgrade and perhaps even relocating the fitness facility to a larger area. There is also a need to be more attentive to the towel and water service in the facility. Lest I end on a negative note allow me to say that even though the fitness facility needed attention it was adequate to meet my daily workout routine needs.

There is no question that the Brook's Hotel is my lodging property of choice for future visits to Dublin. I am truly impressed and most definitely a loyal customer for the Brooks.

Location, Staff, Rooms, everything ... a lovely lovely 4 star hotel which is just perfect for a short stay in Dublin. I really could not ask for more. Yes, you can go better and spend £££££s but for a little bit of luxury at an affordable price, this is the one to go for. If I go back to Dublin, I will only stay here! Thank you guys.
