Covid Programme, Stay safe with us

Welcoming you back, safe and sound with our Covid programme

We are delighted to announce that we’re now welcoming guests back to The Dublin Citi Hotel for stays from the 29th of June, 2020 onwards, and we have prepared a Covid Programme to make your visit secure and guarantee your comfort.

The good old’ fashioned Irish banter, the hustle and bustle at breakfast and the late-night sessions at the Trinity Bar- we’ve missed it all.

But mostly though, we’ve missed you!

Travel is a necessary and rewarding part of our lives, and we know that the current environment has affected how you make travel decisions. So, whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a staycation with the family or a night away with friends, we want you to feel assured that you are in safe, clean hands.

Same but a little different

Since we’ve seen you last, the world has changed, and we have too. 

Following the guidelines of the HSE (IE), NHS (UK) and the World Health Organisation, our specially appointed COVID-19 response team have implemented strict hygiene procedures, to ensure your wellbeing and peace of mind, right from check-in to check-out.

Below you’ll find the specifics on how we’re planning to keep you, our team and our space, safe- leaving you to enjoy a worry-free stay.

So, what can you expect?

A New Way to Stay

At the Dublin Citi Hotel, we take great pride in our existing cleaning, safety and hygiene standards; however, we recognise that your confidence and trust in our hospitality experience is more important than ever before.

And so, we have re-visited all of our procedures and have added some new and essential hygiene protocols putting them together with our Covid-19 Programme to give a safe and healthy experience.
