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.

The parking is amazing for long trips the hotel is breath taking. Major complaints to the IHG group as they take such good care of us everytime. Special regards to Aga and the rest of the staff they always go above and beyond. Meetings are so professional here Carol from upstairs always knows how to pick up on your needs and wants from a simple phone call.

This hotel is closed but no one told me. I found out accidentally by calling the number listed to ask a question and the Crowne Plaza answered . Supposedly all of the reservations from HI Express will be honored by them . If you booked several months ago like I did , you need to get ahold of the Crowne Plaza

I would be very careful booking to stay with this Hotel as we had booked and paid back in January 23 only for our travel agent to be emailed right before we were due to fly out of NZ in May 23 that they could no longer honor our booking and would refund our money. Absolutely no explanation as to why, we were then left to scramble around to find alternative accommodation. Very very disappointed in the service

We stayed there in 2019 for college drop off from USA and were very happy. The staff were very accommodating and the breakfast was wonderful. We were permitted to check in many hours early following our 5am landing. Hope to stay there again once they reopen.

From as soon as we walked in the door until we left it was 5* service. We were a late check in (as in early hours of the morning) and the check in clerk was very accommodating (gosh I wish I could remember his name as he was top class and deserves a pat on the back) The room was lovely. The most comfortable beds where you literally sink into the lush pillows. I felt like Goldilocks & the 3 bears... The bed was just right! Huge TV, perfectly situated. Nice bathroom with a shower you won't want to leave. We booked room only so can't rate the breakfast. Check out was as pleasant as check in, the girl was bright & bubbly. Shuttle right at the door, which was on time. We would have no hesitation to book this hotel again, highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely stay!

I think holiday inn Dublin airport has perfect noise insulation. The rooms are clean and overall is a very nice, modern atmosphere. They offer a shuttle bus to and from the airport, the drivers are right on time and very friendly.

This hotel transferred our reservation to its sister hotel next door, The Crown Plaza Hotel without any notification. We only found out through the shuttle bus driver as we were coming from the airport. He said they were open but taking no guests. The hotel is being used by the Irish government for refugee and asylum seekers housing. Ok that’s great but stop accepting reservations and transferring them next door - bait and switch!

Dear danieldC1452OK, I am always disappointed to read any 1 star review but even more so when you did not stay at the hotel. I am sorry that we were unable to contact you in advance of upgrading you to our sister hotel for your stay. The phone number that was listed did not allow us to make contact prior to the visit but as you experienced with our shuttle driver, all information was provided so that you did not arrive to the wrong hotel. We do not feel that we operated a 'switch and bait' with your reservation as we upgraded you to a 4 star hotel instead of the 3 star that was booked. The same rate was applied and breakfast was included. As I am sure you saw, the 2 hotels are located in the same building, so the location was not compromised. Again, I am sorry that the extension of a private contract meant we did need to re-locate you but we felt that the upgrade to the higher standard would be a nice surprise also. I do hope that we will welcome you back in the future and show you what Holiday Inn Express has to offer. Warm Regards, Colm McDonnell Director of Rooms Division

I booked the Holiday Inn at Dublin Airport because I had an early flight. It can be because the hotel is new but once I entered the hotel it didnt feel I was entering a Holiday Inn. Same applied to the room. It was very very nice.

I stayed here the night before I flew out of Dublin for the free airport shuttle. From the moment I entered, everything said Crown Plaza. The HIE name is nowhere. There are luxury toiletries in the room, the bed and pillows are comfortable and the staff are very well trained. The free breakfast was extensive and outstanding. I also ate in the restaurant. Excellent food and service again.
