I was traveling solo for a wedding and wanted a hotel centrally located to walk around for shopping, dining and entertaining. I had stayed at The Westbury before and knew it was a perfect hotel for my needs. I celebrated my niece’s engagement with a vegan high tea for her, regular menu for me, in The Westbury’s beautiful main floor. One of the best teas we’ve ever experienced. They added a lovely chocolate biscuit Bride-To-Be which was such a special touch. Later that evening, I celebrated a friend’s 30th birthday with 6 guests in The Sidecar, including excellent bar bites, desserts, and fun drinks from the Martini trolley. A lovely evening with excellent service. Breakfast each morning was hearty, delicious and served in a lovely setting. The room was well-designed and even had an American plug if needed for any electronics. Now that is attention to detail. So many people worked to make my stay a wonderful one and the staff was attentive and welcoming. Shout out to David Earls - he patiently answered all of my emails and helped make sure my details were arranged for my events. I’ll be back!

From the moment we arrived, The Westbury exceeded every expectation. The elegance of the hotel, the impeccable attention to detail, and the genuine warmth of the staff created an unforgettable experience. Our room was beautifully designed, exceptionally comfortable, and maintained to the highest standard. The location is simply perfect, placing Dublin’s finest shopping, dining, and cultural attractions just a short stroll away. Every interaction with the team reflected true professionalism and Irish hospitality. The Westbury is more than a hotel—it’s an experience of timeless luxury, comfort, and excellence. Thank you for making our stay truly memorable. I look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking the very best that Dublin has to offer

My wife and I stayed at the Westbury in early September while in Dublin on vacation. The location of the hotel is excellent near the touristy part of the city which was fine by us. The room was very nice although it was notably smaller than the other similar class Dublin hotel we stayed in during our trip. The restaurant (WILDE) and bar (Baffles) were fine with good food and service. Unfortunately what would have been a positive stay was impacted by something inexplicable. At 1:45am the night before having to get up early for a long flight home, my wife and I were jarred awake by the loudest construction noise I have ever heard at a hotel. The drilling/hammering was so loud it seemed it was coming from inside the room. We called the front desk, was told it would be addressed, waited for a bit and had to call again before the work finally stopped. I can't even imagine what would possess the hotel to allow construction at that time of night when there are guests in nearby rooms. The next morning we were told they were looking into the matter. Also, a bit of a minor point but I asked for a taxi to go to the airport and they called a car service. The service charged more than double what a taxi costs. The hotel should give guests the choice.

The staff at the Westbury are absolutely exceptional! They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is memorable. We have a son with food allergies and the level of service they provided to support us during our stay was top notch. Darren and Dana with guest services came to our room personally to figure out our needs and accommodated each request. The rooms are elegantly decorated and very comfortable. We enjoyed the Balfes brasserie restaurant for dinner.

The service in this hotel was outstanding. But there are no blackout curtains and this is yet another very expensive hotel that restricts your air-conditioning. I'm sick of paying big money and then having my cooling restricted. Between the hot room and the early morning light I never slept well.

The best thing about the Westbury is its central location. We were never a far walk from shops, food, and museums. Rooms were not particularly large, but they were clean and felt safe. Breakfast was included with our stay, and though the selection was good and the restaurant staff was friendly, the quality of the hot food and coffee varied day by day. I ordered the same coffee and egg dish over the course of our 4 night stay, and it somehow came out differently every time. Thankfully, we did not hear any construction noise during our stay (prior reviews mentioned this, but in May 2026 it seems mostly over with), but we were unhappy to find out that the gym was also closed for the duration of January-June 2026. Having access to even a small fitness facility was important to us, we did not find out about this until the welcome email the day before arrival, so it was too late to change hotels. We would have considered staying elsewhere due to lack of a gym. They offered a discount to some local fitness studios (class-style workouts) but there was no substitute for a plain, old-fashioned gym with treadmills and weights. All told, I give our experience 4 stars, as the location was excellent and the hotel was clean and safe, but it lacked that final star due to the issues mentioned above.

I must confess to our family being not infrequent visitors to The Westbury. It is an outstanding hotel smack in the centre of town close to shopping and arts venues, a number of very good restaurants nearby too. The welcome is always warm and sincere, the recently refurbished rooms are bright and very well appointed. Whether you relax over afternoon tea in The Gallery, grab a quick bite in Bafles, or decide to stay in for dinner in the charming Wilde’s there will be something for you. All of that said, though, a place is nothing without an exceptional team and it is in this regard where The Westbury excells. If arriving in the afternoon you will be tempted to have lunch or tea and cakes at The Gallery, a charming decor and subtle opulence abound, and the team with Kim Barrion at the helm does not dissapoint - his meticulous attention to detail and professional service permeates the service, simply outstanding. In the morning you can expect to be greeted by a wonderfully warm and professional team, I do need to mention both Julianna (who we wanted to bring home) and the effervescent Thome - we agree, champagne is for any time of day, especially breakfast. The recently refurbished rooms are bright and finished to an exceptionally high standard with quality amenities as you’d expect. We were, once upon a time, regular guests at The InterContinental but standards there have plummeted in recent times, the same cannot be said of The Westbury, where you’re made to feel that you’ve come to visit and not just to stay. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful hotel very centrally located in the heart of Dublin and just a short walk to shops, restaurants, Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, etc. We had the Studio Suite with an interconnecting room for my sister and nephew and both rooms were clean and nicely appointed and even provided a chocolate treat in both rooms as a complimentary amenity. Bottled drinking water is provided complimentary but the mini-bar is note. The staff was very customer service oriented and even offered us a complimentary cocktail in the lounge because our room was a little late upon check-in. I would stay here again.
