Upon our arrival, the reception staff insisted that we only had one room booked, when we'd booked two, which was quite embarrassing in front of others!! However they eventually located our other room, but only because I'd taken a screenshot of 2 rooms at the time of booking online, so I'd recommend doing the same, but no apologies or anything were given... Also we were one family and asked, at booking, for rooms to be located next to each other, but didn't get that, which was awkward... We had booked directly and had a lot of trouble accessing our online account, which said we had no rooms booked at all at one point, emails weren't responded to, so I'm glad we took the screenshot, or we'd have been left one room short!!... Rooms were comfortable and spacious with good showers and nice toiletries... The hotel is quite far out from the city centre attractions...

I was told later that it was 'semi accessible' (it had a bar on the wall beside the bath) so be careful when booking to ask for a fully accessible room, if required... The bathroom and bedroom were spotless except for a disgusting throw at the bottom of the bed which needs to be binned...

Even toast, which had to be ordered, was only one half slice per person!!... Also if you're a bigger family you get split between two different tables, they wouldn't put one together for us!!... Uber taxis were around 18 Euros one way, so factor that in if you plan to go into the centre much, as maps showed a 35 min walk and there's a lot of walking around in the centre to visit things...

Having eventually managed to attract the attention of a member of staff they said they would replace the chips... I asked for the whole plate to be taken back to the kitchen so I would eventually have a hot meal... When the plate returned, yes the chips were warm but the fish and pea puree were both cold... The meal was eventually returned to the kitchen with a begrudging apology... By the time a replacement arrived the rest of my group had all finished their meals... Staff did their best to avoid eye contact with the clientele to meet requests for tea/coffee etc...

We had to leave at 4am due to our return flight time, the reception chap wasn't friendly or helpful and didn't even tell us that the garage door would be locked at that time, nor gave instructions regarding how we were to get out... Staff were all ok, I wouldn't say friendly, but were polite enough, the cleaning staff were the most friendly there... We weren't given anything extra, such as chocolates for the kids, or bottles of water upon leaving, like other people mentioned in their reviews, but we got what we paid for, a comfortable stay... Rooms were comfortable and spacious with good showers and nice toiletries... A lot of our party are vegetarian and the granola pots weren't replenished, croissants etc same, so not everyone got what they wanted... Even toast, which had to be ordered, was only one half slice per person!!... Also if you're a bigger family you get split between two different tables, they wouldn't put one together for us!!... Uber taxis were around 18 Euros one way, so factor that in if you plan to go into the centre much, as maps showed a 35 min walk and there's a lot of walking around in the centre to visit things... Overall I'd sum up saying it's a nice looking hotel, very comfortable, good breakfasts if you get there early and don't want toast, but not really a friendly feeling from reception, or breakfast staff and not very welcoming if there's more than 4 in your party...

She understood the challenges that someone in a wheelchair may have and did her utmost to ensure that our stay with you in March would be as seamless as possible...

...Was told that dining was quiet today and to call down when ready to be seated... My wife and I ordered 2 steaks and a baby bowl of mash, veg and gravy for our 11 month old son... Lady said your baby bowl is coming now... After looking round the room we could see others being seated and getting their food in the same time... Spoke to a member of staff who said they would look into this... After again asking staff what was going on, an hour later the bowl arrived... However the mash, gravy and veg was in 3 separate bowls... Only reason I gave a 3 star review for dining was the bar staff were nice to talk to... The manager did not make eye contact with me the rest of the evening and anytime I approached the bar for a drink, they quickly went the opposite direction...

...For me it’s the customer service that makes the difference. My wife and I had a GREAT experience at this hotel... The staff was very welcoming when we arrived and throughout our stay... We arrived before our room was ready and the manager and front desk staff were very accommodating in getting us into our room in a timely manner... AND our exceptional experience started even before we arrived with the outstanding support we received from Rebecca in their reservation department!... Rebecca helped guide us through all of the logistical craziness sending multiple emails to lock it all down... She was highly responsive and pleasant throughout, and even greeted us upon our arrival... We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone visiting Dublin!...

...I asked for the whole plate to be taken back to the kitchen so I would eventually have a hot meal... Staff did their best to avoid eye contact with the clientele to meet requests for tea/coffee etc...

...The front desk checked us in quickly and efficiently. The restaurant cocktails and food was served quickly and warm and was delicious... The atmosphere busy but quiet and most enjoyable... Our service from host and server was wonderful... Do not hesitate to stop by for a delicious cocktail or meal I am sure you will not be disappointed...

Modern, spacious hotel outside of city center. Convenient for Croke Park Stadium/conference center events... Bus (buy ticket card at Spar, or 1.70e per ride, no change) or taxi (Free Now app works well; no uber) can be taken to the center, otherwise 30 min walk... Room was comfortable for several days, good housekeeping... Nice lobby with bar and restaurant but did not try food... There is a good Italian restaurant down the street and a really nice pub (Fagan's) about 10 min walk...

...The check-in was smooth, we were told everything we needed on arrival. The room contained everything you would need for a comfortable stay... Lovely comfortable bed, tea/coffee making facilities, large TV, safe, iron etc... The bathroom was beautiful, very nice toiletries... This wouldn't be our usual kind of place to stay as we like leisure facilities (sauna,pool,jacuzzi, spa treatments) and much larger rooms, but for business purposes or airport stays etc we would recommend here unreservedly...

...The staff are extremely professional, yet they always have a way of making your feel at home. Courteous, warm and ever friendly and helpful... In particular the Lamb Cottage Pie and the creamy yet light porridge in the morning... Excellent croissants and freshly squeezed orange juice... Generous amounts of coffee at breakfast and a traditional, hard to beat, full of variety cooked breakfast... Ideally located for the city centre...

...Every single person we spoke to made us feel welcome and special. Rooms were of a high standard and very well equipped with a big TV, powerful shower, iron, hair dryer, tea and coffee, and a safe... O Connell street, main shops, temple bar etc just a 10-15 easy stroll away!...

...We weren't given anything extra, such as chocolates for the kids, or bottles of water upon leaving, like other people mentioned in their reviews, but we got what we paid for, a comfortable stay. The hotel itself was lovely inside, aswell as nice and secure... Rooms were comfortable and spacious with good showers and nice toiletries... A lot of our party are vegetarian and the granola pots weren't replenished, croissants etc same, so not everyone got what they wanted... Overall I'd sum up saying it's a nice looking hotel, very comfortable, good breakfasts if you get there early and don't want toast, but not really a friendly feeling from reception, or breakfast staff and not very welcoming if there's more than 4 in your party...

Stopped at this hotel for a couple of nights midweek. It is handy for the City Centre, and is based next to the canal... Breakfast is a typical English, but other products are available, with unlimited toast, tea and coffee, you can’t go wrong... I will definitely be using this establishment again, when I visit Dublin...

...Staying here was the ideal base for walking into the city centre 15 minute walk, plenty of food and drink options within the hotel itself... Very friendly , very helpful and made the check in and check out process very easy... Would highly recommend staying here , the price of what you pay is worth it...

Stayed at the croke park hotel when visiting family and doing some Christmas shopping. We found the location excellent and close proximity to the city center... The hotel is well decorated for Christmas and the kids loved the Christmas trees and playing with the presents under the trees!... The room was modern, clean and comfortable... The breakfast was perfect also with pancakes and Nutella for the kids!... Staff were very friendly and we would definitely recommend this hotel...

Overall this is a great hotel, modern and centrally located. It has a great restaurant, ample parking and a delicious breakfast offering... Service from all on the front desk was great... Also the people serving neglected one half of the seating area, had to get up after 10 minutes to ask for tea and toast...

Last weekend I and a couple of my friends arrived at the hotel bar. We had a few drinks and were well looked after by the team... Entering the bar makes one feel that one has plenty of space... Special thanks to Vadims for great and efficient service... Definitely will come there for a drink and will recommend it to others...

...The entire team were extremely friendly helpful and made the kids feel like it was their 2nd home. The reservations team, to reception to bar staff to breakfast staff were truly outstanding... The family room was good with a tv that allowed the kids to use chrome cast to watch their kids programs... The central location made everything so easy...

...I spend many evenings in “nice” hotels... My wife and I had a GREAT experience at this hotel... The staff was very welcoming when we arrived and throughout our stay... We arrived before our room was ready and the manager and front desk staff were very accommodating in getting us into our room in a timely manner... The rooms were comfortable and the restaurant/bar were wonderful... She was highly responsive and pleasant throughout, and even greeted us upon our arrival... We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone visiting Dublin!...

A fantastic experience. All the details very careful. The room was very clean. The atmosphere in the public spaces incredible. The staff very friendly. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the hotel to O'connell street.

I have been going to the Croke Park for longer than I care to remember. In itself this shows how much I value this wonderful place. The staff are extremely professional, yet they always have a way of making your feel at home. Courteous, warm and ever friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and luxurious. The food is always to an excellent high standard. In particular the Lamb Cottage Pie and the creamy yet light porridge in the morning. Excellent croissants and freshly squeezed orange juice. Generous amounts of coffee at breakfast and a traditional, hard to beat, full of variety cooked breakfast. Ideally located for the city centre. Standards always to the highest degree. An olympian hotel that never rests on its laurels - Citius, Altius, Fortius - Communiter

A lot to digest? Read a summary of these reviews, created with our new AI-powered tool.
I travel quite a lot and have stayed in many hotels and write quite a few reviews and if you have read any of my previous reviews you will see I am critical if things are not what they should be. I can say I am struggling to give any negatives here, however.... There was a cleansing issue and a mechanical issue in my room. However, when I raised this, I was immediately changed to another room and given 2 drinks vouchers due to inconvenience. I found the pillows not to my liking and was not able to sleep very well to start either. OK, negative done, let me list the good points, and there are quite a few..... Firstly I arrived quite early in the morning not expecting to get in my room and was hoping I could leave a case in the luggage room whilst I got a coffee some where, not only was my room was ready I was allowed to go to it and I was also told my stay included access to the executive room which was lovely quiet and well stocked with drinks and lite bites. My room was clean open, comfortable (apart from the pillows), and modern. The whole hotel public areas were also very clean and modern. TV included Sky Sports, and the rooms were serviced daily, with plenty of towels and toiletries, including a disposable dental kit and shaving kit and plenty of tea coffee and water in the rooms There was an iron and board in the room also. Location about 30 minutes walk to the centre of Dublin. Breakfast was included and probably the best breakfast I have had in a hotel. Staff were a credit to the hotel, polite friendly and nothing seeming to much trouble from cleaners, bar and restaurant staff reception and managers. In all, I loved my 3 night stay here, and should I return to Dublin, I would look to book to stay here. The hotel has a lot of little touches that add to it, and it does not have 4 and a half stars for nothing. A lot of thought has gone into the running of the hotel, and I, for one, definitely appreciated it, so thank you for a nice stay. Definitely recommend.…

Lovely hotel, very clean and comfortable beds but breakfast was a huge let down. Staff very unorganised, constantly running out of plates, bowls and orange juice for self service. Ordered tea when we where seated and it never arrived, checked with one of the waiters who told us the kitchen was busy and it was taking longer - didn’t think it should take that long to make a pot of tea! They really could have done with a manger overseeing the waiting staff during breakfast.

The hotel was conveniently located to the airport and the rooms were quite spacious. The breakfast buffet was very nice welcome instead of table service. The hotel is very lively & festive upon arrival. I also appreciated the secured garage parking which was very nice in the early morning hours sheltering you a bit from the cold weather.

Location to 3arena not Great as presumed. Taxi about €12-15. Saturday night Very difficult to get, book a taxi if you can. Restaurant food poor enough, Very expensive. Bar is ok drink is ok, bar food a bit tasteless and expensive for what your getting. Triple rooms are narrow. Only 2 cup's & facilities available in a room for 3. Not enough & reception had to drop up more, which took 20-25mins. Rooms seem quiet for sleep, clean, shower not great. Turn air con in room to cold when using shower, prevents steam in bathroom.Fridge in room Very handy. Breakfast quite cold at 9.35am, different plates/cups needed to hold the heat longer, scrambled eggs etc Go cold fast. Stay is ok a bit more reasonable than other hotel's including using taxis, Saturday night in Dublin...... expensive

The hotel was lovely throughout, modern and clean with lots of space. We had the standard room but it was a great size and the bed was so comfortable! Bruna at the check in desk was really helpful, particularly in organising the bottle of lovely prosecco to the room - it tasted fantastic, the glasses were spotless and the prosecco itself was nice and cold. The breakfast spread was brilliant, including hash browns and fresh orange juice that wasn't from concentrate, both of which I really appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight and I would visit again for sure!

I stayed in The Creole Park Hotel for one night. It is easily accessible to Dublin airport and parking was included in the rate. The checkin staff were friendly and helpful. We had a meal in the sideline restaurant which was delicious and good value for money The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The breakfast next morning was delicious and again the staff were professional and helpful Overall a very enjoyable experience I will be returning and I have no hesitation in recommending The Croke Park Hotel
