Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence

Victale was amazing! Such an attentive server. He was quick with my order and even paid attention to the fact that I was on a call and didn’t ask questions until I was done. I would come back and request him. Also, the food is amazing!

Great hotel in ideal location. This is one of my default hotels when staying in Dublin due to availability. I was upgraded on arrival and have a lovely view overlooking the park. Park is at the door and in the basement. Gym has a new lease of life with ample weights. I cannot comment on the food as personally I rarely eat on site with so many options on your doorstep but hear good things. Worth a stay in ideal location with very friendly staff. On that. One thing I did observe while waiting for an elevator was a member of staff attending to a resident that was unwell. Reassuring them that whatever they needed the hotel would help and accommodate. I’m trying to keep this vague as frankly not my business but highlights the attention and care they place on residents.

Nice hotel, great breakfast, wonderful and attentive staff from the moment you walk in the door until checkout.  Beautiful park right next door. Our room faced an inner opening area with a view of the roof below.  While it is inevitable that some of the rooms need to face an area like this if they are going to have an opening window (or any window), the hotel management could take steps to improve it somewhat. Having supervised construction work for decades, I can see that the mechanical equipment on the roof below is of high quality, but the amount of dirt allowed to accumulate on it is not.  You wouldn't allow your lobby windows or front steps to be so filthy, so why this equipment in full view of hundreds of your guests every week? Clean this up and make this view at least a bit more presentable and people with those rooms won't feel quite so screwed by the high prices charged for them.

A little disappointed, the room was very cold as they kept putting on Aircon, which is not needed in September in Ireland. Fine once we rang reception but had to request the room was heated both nights

An absolutely superb hotel. Professional, courteous and respectful staff who will make staying a pleasure. Great dining. Close to all South Dublin amenities. Clean, comfortable rooms overseen by manager Gratzna and her excellent staff. I always look forward to visiting this hot.

I have stayed in the hotel for work reasons more than ten times. Breakfast is buffet style with wide range of offerings betwern sweets and salty stuff. If you want to have dinner by the bar the low sofas is not the best option, and some if the table sizes are quite small. Rooms are spacious and always clean. Location is really good.

Very pleased. My room was spotless, lovely view aside from the AC unit outside, comfortable bed, friendly reception and reasonable rates. Location was exceptional, which can be a slight inconvenience when there is a game at the local stadium, but part of the experience! Will certainly visit here again and look forward to it.

Excellent Stay in Dublin! We had a fantastic stay at the Herbert Park Hotel. The location is perfect — peaceful and overlooking the beautiful park, yet just a short walk from the city center and great restaurants. Our room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always with a smile and great local tips. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of fresh options and excellent coffee. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm, elegant, and welcoming — ideal for both business and leisure.

Skip the downtown madness and stay near the green at Herbert Park. With plenty of high- and medium-class dining nearby, you'll be close enough yet far enough. This place seems to have been updated, at least in my opinion, and it was clean and well-stocked with nice room layouts. If you're looking for something reasonably priced compared to the bags of gold you'll spend in city center, welcome to Ballsbridge. The staff was friendly and the hotel dining is more than sufficient. If you're lucky enough to stay on the Park Residence side, nice park views abound. Stroll around that park in your down time, or it's only a 15-minute walk to the sea. Bus stops are nearby when you need to go farther, and you're close to the stadium here with plenty of dining along the way if going on foot. The locals like the area; I might as well too!

Pre COVID, My sister and were joining a Brendan tour of Ireland but choose to arrive a day early to give us a day to explore Dublin and have some alone time. The Clayton Ballsbridge was the hotel the tour was starting was fully booked so our travel agent booked us here for one night as it was within walking distance to the Clayton Ballsbridge. It's a very nice, modern hotel. The front desk personnel were very friendly and gave great recommendations on where to eat, drink, etc. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Adequate toiletries, though finding the blow dryer was a challenge ! There is a restaurant and bar and while we did not eat there we did have a few drinks at the bar. The bartender was so nice, we felt very welcome. My only complaint, this hotel is not close to Temple Bar or the City Centre, we had to take taxi's to get to where the heart of Dublin, its kind of on the outskirts as I would put. We were there only 1 night, but it was a fine stay. I would stay again if necessity called for it, but would prefer to be closer to Central Dublin.

Absolute perfection. Here for the Notre Dame game and the staff, the room, the food, the hotel bar... everything is absolutely incredible. Since the moment we checked in the staff here has been like a second family and has also been so amazing to our toddler. I am actually sad to leave, everything from breakfast to late night sandwiches has been incredible with impeccable service. I'm so sad to leave. What an amazing stay and incredible staff. The staff here honestly make so spectacular.

The rooms were quite clean and the room service did a very good job cleaning the room between days. The lobby was beautiful and very comfortable to sit around with friends. John and Sol,the night porters made the experience impeccable and was extremely kind and witty. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

The Herbert Park hotel is a good hotel in Ballsbridge that's a great tip if you're going to a concert in the RDS or Lansdowne Road. It looks on to the beautiful Herbert Park and is really centrally located. The hotel itself is modern and a little cold. The hotel bar doesn't have a huge amount of atmosphere unless you bring a huge crowd with you, but it's nice for a quiet drink. The hotel restaurant is ok too, nothing to write home about. The rooms are great though, at the moment there's a deal on for €70 a room. They are really nice rooms that are furnished well, clean and well specked out. They even have play stations. The newspaper is delivered to your room in the morning and they do a nice breakfast too.

This hotel is a bit dated, but perfect for a business trip. The rooms are big and clean, with restaurants, pubs and cafes near by. If you are looking for cheerful place for hotel, this is not it. The staff are as cold as the atmosphere, but bearable. You get what you pay for.

I was here for a business meeting and it served our needs fine. I thoroughly agree with the previous two reviews it does have an element of coldness to it. I think it's the large space needs more plants etc. The service was very friendly at the bar.

I have never stayed here (it is only down the road from my home, so, if I have to stay over you know I'm in BIG trouble with the wife!) I have had lunch here a few times recently and it is always good and tasty and not horribly expensive, they do some very nice open sandwiches.

Beautiful hotel overlooking Herbert Park. Rooms were spacious, immaculately clean and beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was also very clean but there was only one hand towel supplied between two people. There was no courtesy trays and I wasn't prepared to pay €3.50 every time I wanted to have a cup of tea during the night. Breakfast was also a big let down. The bacon appeared to have been reheated and was as tough as nails, and the mushrooms and tomatoes were tasteless. I have had better tasting food from service stations. I won't be returning as I can book a three star hotel with all the extras for less than the cost of this four star hotel.

Wonderful hotel in a prime location, superb staff, could not be more helpful. Best location for any event in the RDS, or Landsdowne Road, great bars and restaurants nearby. Rooms are comfortable, clean and well maintained. Very good hotel.

This place is alright. As others have noted, it's a bit dated. The outside looks nice but the interior could use an update. The paint/wallpaper in my room is peeling a bit. But it's a good place for a business trip. My office is about a 15 min walk from here (~1.4k) so it's a nice walk in the morning. Free wifi in the rooms works well so that is a plus. My company has a good rate here, but the downside is that breakfast is not included (additional 15 euro pp for continental breakfast... A bit steep). Doesn't bother me during the week as I can grab food at the office but it would be nice for the weekend. The hotel itself is in the Ballsbridge area of town, a few kilometers away from the Center (Temple Bar area). Good for me as its close to the office, but not super touristy/packed with things to do. A cab ride downtown though is only a few euro. Located on Herbert Park which is a lovely park for a morning or afternoon walk. Solid for the price, but if my preferred hotel is available for the next trip (was full this time) I'll be staying elsewhere.

I was in Herbert Park Hotel for a conference for a few days so we had breakfast/lunch/dinner there and used the conference facilities as well as the stay overnight. The good thing about Herbert Park Hotel is its location in Ballsbridge and the massive Herbert Park at the back which is great for a walk. Rooms are actually quite good and there's nothing wrong with those, if you get a good price this might be a good choice, for the room only. Breakfast is also a nice standard hotel-fare breakfast. However the place is incredibly corporate and cold. There's absolutely no atmosphere in it. It really doesn't feel good at all spending any more than the necessary time in there. The hotel bar is quite bland and expensive, but there are good pubs just across the road. Lunch was the same "selection of sandwiches" every day, which was a massive platter of boringly assembled sandwiches full of butter and mayonnaise. For me as a German who is used to have the main meal at lunch, this really didn't go that well. Others didn't mind that much, but nobody really liked it. Dinner was a buffet option, because we were with a conference, which wasn't very flavourful either, but not really bad - the second day it was a bit better. The chef does Tandoori/Indian spices, but of course for a group he seems he needs to adjust the spice levels to be acceptable to everyone. I don't know how a la carte food is. The service was just barely minimal, it was nearly impossible to get the attention of a waiter for extra drinks or a dessert menu, and the waiters also seemed very cold and tried to get away from you as quickly as possible. In general it seemed none of the staff tried to go the extra mile, just basic service was delivered, not actively looking for solutions. One of our group had his bike lock broken and his bicycle taken away by staff because he chained it to a lamp post in front of the hotel which apparently was on their property, but had no signage at all and looked like street parking. After long discussions with management he received a 15 Euro reimbursement for a new bike lock (I paid 60 or 70 Euro for my last bike lock in a cycle shop). So if you can get a good deal here and are about the location, the rooms are nice and there's nothing wrong there, but don't expect a cozy setting or great food/service.

Could be the best hotel in Dublin. The bar is fun and the staff hip. Great for business meetings and right next the the US Embasy!

We came in here for tea after a walk in the park. Although the serving staff were very helpful and friendly, our experience with the reception staff could have been better. Although we had spent about €25, they still insisted on charging us for the car park. Also it seemed like the manager was there, and she didn't lift a finger when we questioned the charge. It wasn't a surprise that there were hardly any people there. The hotel has a lot of potential but silly customer service faux pas like this let it down. Won't return.

The Herbert Park is a nicely appointed hotel. I've stayed there a couple times for work, and the service and accommodations are quite nice. The continental breakfast is pricey, but above average, and the adjacency to both RDS and Aviva Stadium - as well as the easy walk to the city centre make it convenient and not right downtown (it's about a mile and a half to the Grafton/Trinity area.) Walking in the park has become a highlight of my evenings, and there are plenty of dining options close by. I will return, given the opportunity.

Haven't stayed here, but have stopped by for a coffee. Ok. I stopped by for an Irish coffee that one time too. I always feel like I am getting ripped off...

Stayed there about a month ago with wife and child , when we arrived ,guy on reception said there was no reservation , gave him res number but he refused to take it , eventually got person on phone who made reception , guy kept saying sir sir sir there is no reservation ,but it was a woman he was speaking to , eventually after 30 mins he found it , no apology nothing , went to room , and toilet filthy , an over priced dated place , staff are rude , except bar and restaurant staff , rang down for extra pillows , were told they had none , after 2 hours at 1am a knock on door with a blanket in a pillow case , never ever ever again ,

Food is good, rooms are small and next to no sound insulation. Would not stay here again.

I'm staying here a couple of nights because I'm traveling for business. The hotel is very dated. Inside my room the wall paper is peeling, the walls are scuffed and the baseboards are well worn. I've ordered room service and ate at the restaurant which was typical hotel grade food (nothing to rave about). It is a great walkable neighborhood with a lot of restaurants around. I took the hop on hop off sight seeing tour and was able to walk to one of the hop on stops, it was about a mile away. The hotel has free wifi which I found to be very reliable and fast. But the real gem is the Herbert Park which is right behind the hotel. Before and after dinner one night I walked the grounds of the park and it is beautiful. The park has a pond with ducks and a swan, there are people jogging, walking their dogs and walking the grounds of the park. Very peaceful and relaxing.
