Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel's Favourite
Truly Spectacular location, service, food and room! If your considering a trip to Dublin, look no further than the The Westbury Hotel, besides the fact that it’s nestled neatly in the heart of Dublin’s bustling Grafton St, it’s an added bonus that The Westbury Hotel is a stone throw from the wondrous Brown Thomas. Unfortunately while on the motorway from Derry to Dublin, my husband and I experienced a tyre blowout in our Defender. We arrived at the hotel shaken (me) and filthy (my husband) from changing the wheel. I’m delighted to say, upon arrival at the hotel things quickly changed. The valet service took our vehicle off our hands and guided us into the hotel dazzling hotel lobby. The the reception staff are warm welcoming as you would expect at a 5* hotel. We were allocated a newly refurbished suite on the 6th floor which surpassed all expectation. The suite was spacious and luxurious, but the jubilation didn’t end there… as parents of 3 young children our plan is always room service and relax. The food was exquisite (I plan to attach photos at the end if possible). The burrata was the best I’ve ever tasted, both rich and creamy, the risotto was delectable, my husbands fillet steak was, in his words “the most delicate piece of meat, both tender and flavourful”. We enjoyed all the trimmings on the side of what was thee most perfect meal. Having woke up refreshed after a wonderful nights sleep in the most comfortable and magnificent four poster bed, we availed of a room service banquet breakfast fit for a King, complimented perfectly with a late check out. Needless to say, my husband and I cannot wait for our next trip to The Westbury Hotel. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that made our stay very special in particular Jack and Sarah from guest services. It was an unrivalled weekend.

We stayed over a weekend for a family birthday. The hotel is in great location near College Green, which is central and a few minutes walk from where the airport buses stop. The entrance is impressive with good door staff. Reception staff are helpful and friendly. Rooms - We had both deluxe and standard ("Classic") rooms. The standard rooms overlook a central atrium that hosts a tea salon and bar. It had poor ventilation and was far too warm for good quality sleep. The deluxe room had exterior windows that opened and was much cooler, larger and comfortable - worth the additional cost. Breakfast was very good and at a quality one would expect of this grade of hotel. Would recommend staying here, but with an upgrade to deluxe.

This hotel is 5-star price-wise only. For example, when we arrived, we have been welcomed by the Customer Care Person, who explained to us who she is, but said nothing on how she can help us and definitely nothing about the construction on the 4th floor of the hotel. So, banging starts at 8:30, which presumes that everyone is up and about at that hour. Apparently, they were supposed to notify me about it via e-mail, but someone just forgot about it... If I knew there will be construction at the hotel, I would have never stayed here. I guess that's why I never got that email... The concierge reached out to us a while ago asking why we are staying at the hotel so long. We have written to him in a reasonable detail. No response. Zero follow-up. The concierge in general was great in instructing us how we can do things ourselves. Another example. We return to the hotel at 10 pm, and our ever-hungry teenagers would like to eat something. - We are sorry but all the restaurants close their kitchens at 9:30 pm, and there is no room service. - Can we have have at least some bread and butter? (And here, the staff at 5 or even 4-star hotel would respond "Let me see what I can do." But instead we heard:) - No. You need to take care of it by yourself. And, it is like this, pretty much with everything service-wise at this hotel. Only the staff of the first-floor café seemed to know what they are doing. It just looks like the place lacks direction from the management that is lost and confused. To add to the "attractions" we could hear very clearly all the water noises coming from a room next door. We also had some trouble falling asleep as the guy next door snored like a hog in heat. I also think that having the permanently screwed through cracked dial to a heated towel rack is something that I would find at a 2-star hotel, and I still would be surprised... There was 6 of us in 3 rooms, and we stayed here for 6 nights. The impressions were all the same. It's the details that matter both in the customer service and the decor, and it is simply not a case here. At the end of our stay, the front desk staff has made a scene, because we wanted a detailed invoice. Thanks to that though we found out they have charged us additional numerous positions from the mini bar, which we did NOT use. So, please be careful they will try to cheat you.

Myself and my friend had the privilege to enjoy some afternoon tea here at the Westbury last week. The food was absolute beautiful and the service was immaculate. We were served by a lovely girl called Millie who made our already pleasant visit a 10/10 experience. Would definitely recommend to all family and friends! Thank you to the Westbury team for having us in such a lovely atmosphere.

Room was great, very comfortable with all the amenities expected of this star hotel. However when you can’t get in your hotel bar on a Saturday night because it’s to full and catering for afternoon tea who have chosen to extend their stay to the evening. I appreciate that a hotel needs to make money but surely residents should take some priority when using the hotel facilities, which we have paid a high price to use… So disappointed that there isn’t some consideration for residents.

Unfortunately, my entire experience with the Hotel Westbury was a great disappointment. It should become a beautiful experience on my birthday and became a bitter experience. Now to a 5 star unworthy hotel stay. The porter was fixed with the removal of the baggage on a frying evening. The Check-In went as snowy as in a simple hotel without birthday wishes or so. Everything like a robot. My demand for an upgrade matching my Doyle status was denied since the house was full. Quickly checked on the internet, it was a smooth lie. The room was a studio suite for 1 night my offer price 511 Euro normal night so from 700 Euro with breakfast. The first appearance was good. Not large, a small window on the 5th floor but nice bright and a large bathroom. But here the negative continued. When checking the cleanliness, the topper of the bed was dirty and the mattress also had the same issue, dust over the bed (it was a kind of cot) dust on the wall, dirty glassesin the minibar. I reported all these shortcomings with pictures at the assistant guest experience manager of the evening Mr. Hickey. He took them up suprised and guaranteed me a call in 5min. After almost 15 minutes there was no call, but the ladies of the housekeeping were there. But didn't know anything about the big problem of bed. After a call and further waiting there was finally a solution in the form of a new mattress. The Assistant Experience Manager has to handle the big heavy mattress with a maintance guy. The baggage came niw after about. 40min now in the room after it stood forever lonely and partly unobserved in the area in front of the lifts. I was allowed to watch the whole drama in the room until the manager came up with the idea to offer a drink in the bar. The ladies of the housekeeping were very friendly and open to the comments. It is not for me to make someone bad, but to sharpen the view again. The drink in the lobby bar was OK but also there was not asked about the preferences of the taste. Also a small attention to the birthday was given in the form of a small dessert, which I did not really want to eat after the whole dilemma. Even the already renovated room left some questions as to how to remove it. The carpet was badly cut and the edges were not covered with a ledge, the upstroke in the wall of the bathtub was mounted at about 1m height and thus completely useless. The edge of the tub could not be used for standing up, since the edge of the tub was almost completely overbuilt from the wall of the mamor. The breakfast is absolutely solid but also minimal something special for a 5 star hotel. What annoys that the waiters ask you every 2 minutes with a already penetrated courtesy. No wonder if there is a card on the table where you can give tips for the service. A late check out was friendly possible and a taxi was ordered and agreed that the baggage was picked up because it was quite a bit extra. This did not work in spite of time agreement and I had to carry everything myself. At the exit of the hotel one wanted to help me what I thankfully refused. There was no excuse for the experience and anything else. Until today (over a week later) I was waiting for my bill and the obligatory guest survey after the stay. That is why I have decided to share it here. Incidentally, the member profile is not taken seriously. This is level of a 2 star hotel. Thank you for one of the most "beautiful" birthday experiences.

My wife and I attended the hotel on sunday 4th if february. We had a fantastic stay. Thanks to Sarah King for going our of her way to assist us. We had booked one of the new executive rooms on a high floor. The room was modern spacious with an excellent view of the city. Really cosy and luxurious. We had some drinks in balfes and service was again exceptional. We had some cocktails in the sidecar. The mixologists are so skilled and each cocktail had something special to make it stand our from others we had. Again service here was exceptional. In Wilde we had a lovely dinner. Food was of a high standard and enjoyable. As part of our package my wife was given a 9k gold pendant with her initial on it. Well Done The Westbury we we were very impressed
