My stay at The Westbury had its ups and downs. The hotel's location was perfect for accessing Dublin's main attractions, and the staff were friendly and efficient. However, I felt quite let down by the facilities, especially the lack of access to the bars and lounges during my stay, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the hotel atmosphere. Overall, while there were positives, the negatives left a mark on what was meant to be a special occasion.

I had a good stay at The Westbury Hotel in Dublin, marked by its prime location and attentive service. The room was clean and although not overly spacious, it was well-equipped with amenities like a US outlet, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, I did encounter some issues with the bed's firmness that affected my comfort during the night. Overall, I'd say it was a solid experience with a few room for improvements.
My stay at The Westbury was quite enjoyable with really good service and a central location, though I did encounter a few hiccups that affected my overall experience. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive (especially Joseph and Kevin), and the food in the Wilde restaurant was delicious. However, I found the bed in my room to be uncomfortably firm, which made for a less than restful night. Additionally, I had a frustrating experience with the room service and breakfast service that detracted from the stay.
My stay at The Westbury was truly really good. From the moment I arrived, the attentive staff and stunning decor set a serene tone. Dining experiences like the exquisite dinner at Wilde and relaxing afternoon tea were highlights. However, I found the high breakfast prices disappointing, given the overall luxury of the hotel.
