Dublin's Dylan Hotel: Friendly Staff and a Current Obsession with Shopping

November 13, 2007 at 9:28 AM | 0 Comments

Dublin's new Dylan Hotel is getting huge hype at the moment, and we're curious about why. Recent guests just can't rave enough about it, and one comment seems to sum up everybody else's: "We really couldn't find one negative thing to say".

Many positive comments about this 44-room boutique hotel in the south side of Dublin refer to the friendly and helpful staff. For example, they aren't "over pampering" and they don't "try to be ubercool." One guest said she and her family hugged and kissed all the staff as they left, since they'd been made to feel so welcome there.

It all sounds great, but the Dylan marketing team somehow decided to put together a VIP Shopping Package as a lure for guests. For what it's worth, the package includes a double room and breakfast, two $70 vouchers to spend at department store Brown Thomas, a foot spa for tired feet after a shopping spree and an in-room movie and popcorn to relax at the end of the day.

That package comes for $640 which is decent value, but personally we'd head to Dublin for other reasons than to go shopping. Just staying at the Dylan seems like a good enough reason, in fact.
