Cafe @ Sol Rio in Dublin

This hotel sets a high standard for the InterContinental brand across all areas, from the moment the bellhop opens the taxi door to the reception team, housekeeping, engineering, the meticulous breakfast service (including the quality of the food), the bar, and the gym. And oohh... (not to forget): the concierge service run by a highly qualified professional lady. (Such exceptional concierge service is rare these days, primarily when many rely on AI tools as their "personal concierge") The attention to detail and hospitality at this establishment is unmatched (It could be the Northern Star of the InterContinental brand). While the building is old, and shows some signs of wear and fatigue, this does not detract from the high standards of hospitality. Rarely, I would consider a hotel rated "6th star" for service, and a "7th star" for housekeeping. This one does. Located approximately a 10-minute drive from downtown Dublin and 40 minutes from Dublin Airport, in a quiet neighborhood, this hotel is the ideal place to stay in Dublin.

Great service, nice location. Check in process was fast and convenient. Restaurant crew was also friendly and efficient.

Thank you for the perfect Bar staff (night shift) service. The professionalism and courtesy are definitely worth visiting here again.

A beautiful property tucked away in suburbia. A Tesco, Mace Grocery store, Pubs, Serena's speciality clothing store and a wine & liquor shop nearby.

Fab experience, upgraded on our anniversary, nice touch, front of house excellent. Highly recommend.

Natalia Banini was serving us at the bar she was so friendly and made it a wonderful experience! 10/10

“Lovely design, but not up to 5-star standards” The hotel has a beautiful aesthetic and stylish design, but several aspects didn’t live up to its 5-star rating. Communication before our stay was poor – in fact, virtually non-existent – which was extremely disappointing and left us having to call the hotel just to get answers to basic questions. Upon arrival, our room wasn’t ready at check-in; we weren’t handed a key until 3:45 pm. We also discovered on arrival that there was a €25 charge for the hotel car park – something that had never been mentioned beforehand. Despite what’s promoted on social media, there was no Amalfi Garden experience available during our stay, which felt misleading. The so-called ‘spa’ is really just a leisure facility with a few treatment rooms and was overrun with children, making it far from the calm, relaxing space we expected. It’s a lovely property visually, but the service and facilities fall well short of what you’d expect from a true luxury hotel. I can see how this hotel is perfect for the events around it but unfortunately not for us.

Wonderful hotel. Superb restaurant.

Very upscale and nice hotel. It's in the Dublin 4 area, which is the wealthier part of the city. Nice and quiet, next to the race track. About 15 min from the city center by car.

Approaching the hotel from the road gives you a sence of pure opulence. The hotel is beautiful looking as are the grounds. As soon as you walk in the front door the most beautiful scent hits you, the reception team are so welcoming, the check-in process was seemless and efficient. The suite we got was impressive, super clean bathroom, smelt fresh and the bed was so comfortable. Service was excellent throughout. By far one of the best hotels we have stayed at, looking forward to returning, thank you all who work there!
