The Herbert Park Hotel is in the prestigious tree-lined area of Ballsbridge, south of the city centre, and convenient for the Aviva stadium or RDS for events. It is beside Herbert Park and within walking distance of a handful of restaurants and pubs. The hotel lobby and lounge area is large, bright and fresh and it is lovely for a coffee or a drink. Some of the restaurant has views into Herbert Park. The bedrooms are comfortable if decorated in a rather austere and corporate style, with grey furnishings, and some also have views over the park.
Walk among the trees and along the duck pond in Herbert Park, alongside the hotel.
It's a 10-minute drive to the city centre, where you can visit galleries, shops, Dublin Zoo and the Teeling Whiskey Distillery.
By plane: direct flights to Dublin from Manchester and Birmingham (1 hour), and London (1 hour 15 minutes). It's a 25-minute drive to the hotel. Parking costs €12 per day. skyscanner.net
The hotel suits the corporate market and those visiting for events at the Aviva or RDS. The lounge area in the lobby is a bright open space with low comfortable seating.
Service was good. We loved the room's large comfortable bed and freestanding bath.
