    ...The bed is extremely comfortable and the room is well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and is exceptionally clean - the housekeeping team are really good and replenish all toiletries and tea and coffee daily, which doesn’t always happen in hotels these days without asking... My only negative of the room would be that they had decommissioned the mini bar fridge in the room, which is a shame as it could have been used to keep the bottled water cool and for storing milk if staying for a few days, which I was... WiFi in the room is very good, and I was able to stream, and work in the evenings with no problem at all...

    Despite been a beautiful old building and nicely located, with close proximity to the city centre, I feel this hotel for its price and 5* standing is massively let down by the outdated rooms and very poor food and beverage offerings... Rooms are of good size, but are very outdated and in dire need of an uplift... My bathroom had slight mould on ceiling, and had quite a bit it dust along the furnishings and I never even got my room refreshed from the previous nights stay-which makes me wonder are the rooms even properly cleaned...

    Very pleasant stay, no hesitation in recommending hotel to friends. Loved our room with garden view, and thoroughly enjoyed our meals in the conservatory... Very quiet at night, intend staying for a weekend around Christmas time...

    Not only is this hotel one of the most beautiful I have ever visited, inside and out, it also has excellent service. The staff is very professional but also friendly... They make you feel welcome and are also very happy to help... This coupled with the hotel building, a historical home, and absolutely stunning gardens make it somewhere I can't wait to visit again... Very clean with a good breakfast and other dining options and easy access to town, this hotel is highly recommended...

    I really do love this hotel for when I travel over to Dublin - its location is excellent for getting to many different areas, and it is in a quiet location for noise levels. There is good free parking and I never had a problem finding a space... The hotel grounds are really very pleasant... Staff are good and the breakfast staff are especially friendly and remembered I was a repeat customer, which was nice... I have never used the bar or restaurant so can not comment, but the breakfast is very good with a really good choice, and the quality is excellent... It is buffet style but you can order porridge or poached eggs etc to order if you like... The bed is extremely comfortable and the room is well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and is exceptionally clean - the housekeeping team are really good and replenish all toiletries and tea and coffee daily, which doesn’t always happen in hotels these days without asking... I found the ice machine on my floor by the lifts very handy... WiFi in the room is very good, and I was able to stream, and work in the evenings with no problem at all... I have stayed at the hotel twice for a week at a time, and have already booked for another trip next month - that is how good it is!...

    Despite been a beautiful old building and nicely located, with close proximity to the city centre, I feel this hotel for its price and 5* standing is massively let down by the outdated rooms and very poor food and beverage offerings... I constantly had to go out of my way to grab their attention to get my order in, get menus and even get my table cleared...

    I cannot say enough great things about this hotel. My friends and I stayed here at the beginning and end of our week long trip and still think about the beds/pillows that live here... We have never had such a good nights sleep as we did while staying at this hotel... They made sure both of our stays we had a portable fan, extra towels, and even upgraded us for our last night in Dublin... The room itself was very spacious and provided enough room for 3 adults... We ate at the hotel bar restaurant for lunch when we arrived and the food was excellent... We looked at the menu and quickly decided that room service was cheaper and offered a better selection, so we ended up going back to our room and ordering from the menu provided... Room service was a 10/10 - pro tip the pizzas are huge and you can share them with multiple people... The grounds of the actual hotel are also lovely and overall everything about this place is great... It's about 15-20 mins from Dublin city center so if you're looking for a location that is outside the city but also easily accessible this is great... We also never had an issue calling a taxi/uber and most were waiting right outside the hotel itself...

    ...Caitriona always goes out of her way to welcome us and make us feel extremely special. The rooms are spotlessly clean and so comfortable... The beds are definitely the most comfortable of any I have slept in... The food and service at breakfast was excellent as expected... This hotel and its staff is definitely more than 5 stars, well done everyone!...

    Historic property with opulence that is obvious in several areas. Great view of the garden and readily accessible from Stillorgan Road... A bit pricey but worth every bit of it for the experience... Walking distance to UCD dorms... Pietro at the front desk was very approachable and responsive before and during the stay...

Hotel's Favorite
I attended a wedding reception of two very good friends in Saint Helen's on the evenings of the 18th and 19th of March 2022. Unfortunately , I didn't stay in the hotel , but in another hotel in the locality (I won't make that mistake a second time). I met the resident Wedding organiser, she was wonderful and did an impeccable job . The food was exquisite (hats off to the chef and others in the kitchen!) , the hotel itself elegant and grandiose. The staff were all very warm , welcoming , full of good humour and open to every suggestion or request and that the attendees and I could demand. I reserve a special mention for Raiss , one of the night managers. On the first night, I had a few drinks with my friend who was getting married the next day and his family. I lost my telephone somewhere in the establishment , mentioned it to Raiss and he found it for me ! The next evening he was there as well . When the bar closed we still hadn't finished our drinks but he let us finish them in the foyer and have a final little chat before everyone went to bed. Raiss is bilingual in french and in english, very professional without being distant. He is friendly , funny, warm and has clearly mastered the art of Irish hospitality. I cannot thank him enough (nor the rest of the staff at Saint Helen's) . Thank you all for the wonderful 2 evenings I spent in your company, looking forward to coming to Saint Helen's again (to sleep this time , I promise)

Was on a Business trip to UCD and found this hotel in very close proximity. The Staff were very helpful and professional, lovely ambience and atmosphere in the reception and bar area. Location was perfect and to have a hotel in this area with Gardens was a bonus. Highly recommend.
