"I travel to Dublin from time to time for work and I will not be staying here again.
The Iveagh Garden Hotel is undeniably beautiful. It’s stylish, clean, and in a great location. Unfortunately, my stay had one major flaw that overshadowed everything else. I was not expecting to be placed in a room without AC and walled window with only small light near top. Even though it was only 16°C (61°F) outside, my room sat at a stale 24.5°C (76°F) all night. There was no way to get fresh air.
Housekeeping eventually brought me a fan, but only after five hours and two requests. Even then, I barely slept. The room was simply too warm.
I know some rooms do have AC, but I wasn’t given any way to guarantee one when booking. Buyer beware: if temperature control or natural light matters to you, make sure you confirm your room type in advance, if you can. Otherwise, skip this hotel.
The hotel concierge was fantastic. He was helpful with my bags, recommended a great breakfast spot, and made sure I got to the airport on time."
