Michelin Guide "A smart hotel set over 6 period buildings, with comfy lounges, impressive conference rooms and good facilities."
Frommer's "The Westin makes good use of this building's grand, 19th-century facade (the building was once a bank) -- it promises real luxury and the interior easily fulfills it." Full review
Concierge "Despite the grand surroundings, however, service is friendly and down-to-earth."
Jetsetter "Historic 19th-century bank-turned-hotel in the heart of Dublin with a restaurant and bar." Full review
Fodor's "Reconstructed from three 19th-century landmark buildings across the road from Trinity College, the Westin is all about location." Full review
Time Out "The Westin's imposing 19th-century façade (the building was once a bank) suggests an interior of traditional grandeur and exclusivity, and happily, the reality does not disappoint." Full review
Star Service "This hotel may lack the superior location of the Westbury, but it overshadows its peer with more distinguished public areas, better service, notable dining and superlative accommodations." Full review

Insight Guides "Has more character than some of Dublin’s bigger, pricier places, with the first-floor Library Bar a popular spot with literary types. Situated close to Grafton Street. ."
Fodor's "Every city center needs its little oasis, and the Central's book-and-armchair-filled Library Bar—warmed by a Victorian fireplace—nicely fits the bill." Full review
Time Out "This comfortable, 187-year-old hotel is unique in that it's a prime piece of real estate (right off Dame Street near Temple Bar) that the designers haven't yet got their hands on." Full review

"Dating back to the 19th century, the mid-range Central Hotel has become a local landmark." Full review
