My stay at the Intercontinental Dublin was a mix of positives and some areas needing improvement. The hotel itself was beautiful, and the staff were friendly, but I encountered issues that felt out of place for a five-star hotel. While my room was comfortable and well-appointed, the breakfast experience fell short of my expectations and overall service was a bit chaotic.
