Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport, an IHG Hotel

Great hotel situated near the non busy side of Santry Demesne. Had the room facing the park and had an awesome view of the reindeers on the roof (one evening in Dec) and the park during the day. Amazing staff, fast checkin and checkout and super helpful. Breakfast was nice with the standard full Irish breakfast, with salmon! Great stroll/roll in the park with a super post-storm Darragh sunshine post breakfast. Slight misnomer with its name.. as its not quite in front of the Dublin airport (which might confuse the non-regular traveller). Its about 7 min drive by bus to the airport. I didn't need the bus to the airport... which was regular enough (every 30min). I guess if you planned your trip early to the airport, the hotel carpark charge is €10 per day. Staff didn't bat an eye when they saw a middle aged guy rolling out of the premise with oversized Rollerblades to the park. Although the airport bus driver did ask me if I needed to go the airport as I was having my full gear on 🤣 Would definitely be there again if on a business trip!

Fabulous stay last night with my daughter as part of a joint birthday trip. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Crowne Plaza. Finding the hotel was very straightforward as it's off an arterial route (we had quite a long drive from the north) with secure parking in the multistory car park alongside. The hotel inside is very well presented and feels very high quality. The delightful female reception staff were warm and welcoming and wished us both happy birthdays (we both had birthdays over the weekend). I unfortunately did not note the name of the lovely receptionist who checked us in). They had also upgraded our room and left a lovely birthday card written and signed by the general manager, with a gorgeous little platter of decorated macarons as a birthday treat. What amazing attention to detail. The room was fabulous, large and tastefully decorated with such comfortable double beds. Everything at hand laid out with care and attention. Copius USB and socket charging. Digital room thermostat which worked. Fridge in the room, full size bath and very large shower. Apotheke toiletries. Layout of the room and bathroom well designed in terms of placement of powerpoints, mirrors and towel rails/hooks etc. It's amazing how many hotels don't manage that. Plenty of fluffy towels, water bottles in room. Ice and cooled water stations on each floor. It was also gloriously quiet. Breakfast had a fantastic selection across fruits, breads, meat/cheese, cereals, accompaniments, cooked items, fresh waffle and pancake makers etc etc... The staff greeting us in the breakfast restaurant were again so professionally polite and welcoming (and very professionally attired too), explaining the layout and offering us seating options. Those kinds of interactions give such a positive impression. On our departure the reception staff (James and Beth) were cheerful and warm (and wished us happy birthdays again!

The interior design was classy, natural and enhanced the room. It was a clean property from outside and in. Unlike the hotel that’s right on airport property (M…) this hotel was 100% worth the price and worth the additional 5min shuttle drive. Clean and so comfortable I wished I didn’t have to be up at 4am the next morning. I’m still missing those pillows. :) YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR OWN ROOM TEMPERATURE! This is rare in hotels I’ve stayed in Ireland. The shower was clean the shampoo smelled so good the following day even after travels. I felt comfortable to remove my shoes at the door rather than wear them to bed. EXCELLENT wifi if you ever need to work from home for a day. (100+mbps) Night and day from the previous hotel I used to stay to be near the airport. (M…) I thought I was paying for the location before but this hotel changed the game. More affordable and 100% more value. Chocolate on the bed was a delightful touch. The bar staff were out of this world kind and considerate and just decent humans. The restaurant was elegant and classy as well. Plenty of space to sit and unwind with intimately set seating/table areas for cafe/bar lounge areas. The aquarium took it up to a finer level of ambience. 👌 The shuttle driver had an excellent sense of humor and was so down to earth. We had a lot of appreciation for his work yet he never expected anything back from us. Just enjoyed being a good human. The Free Airport Shuttle came every half hour 24hrs a day. This hotel should set the standard for the others around Dublin airport.

Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean room. Appreciated the bath, in addition to a shower. We used the executive lounge. Sandra ( staff) was very nice and helpful. Good wine and a few beers selection. Large , comfortable and when we went-not crowded We checked out too early for breakfast and were offered a ' to go'. ( nice yoghurt, juice, cake, banana, cheese sandwich) Shuttle punctual both ways We would happily stay again

This location was perfect as it was the end of our adventure and we wanted to be near the airport for our flights the following day. The rooms were comfortable and the executive lounge option I ended up booking (by accident) was great! We opted for the VERY reasonably priced English/Irish Breakfast buffet instead of the complimentary in the hotel. We also had room service for lunch (it was a lazy day) and the food from the restaurant was delicious. The airport shuttle was great getting us from and back to the airport.
