Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. We spent four nights at your lovely hotel, and it truly was a gem in Dublin. The property is both beautiful and offers excellent customer service. Our king-size room was incredibly comfortable, spotless, and exquisitely decorated. Breakfast each morning was a highlight, with a great variety of options that didn’t disappoint, including a well-stocked buffet, fresh pastries, and a juice bar. The bed was very comfortable, and the blackout curtains ensured a restful night’s sleep. A special thanks to the front desk and restaurant staff, who were both polite and knowledgeable, making our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to return again someday!

Guest reviews
The Alex averages 4.4 out of 5 across 1,160 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
The service was wonderful. Down at the restaurant they really do take care of of you and if you need to work it had excellent space for plugging in and getting work done. The lattes were lovely. The location is top notch for walking around Dublin, and they have access to a car park but a short jaunt down from the hotel, very important in Dublin. You have to have access to safe parking. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you plan limited driving in and out of Dublin(after all it is downtown and rush hour is a thing no matter what country you are in.)
A very good hotel which I would definitely stay at again. First of all, the front desk team including Simon were amazing and super helpful throughout our stay. The service staff in the restaurant were also awesome. The room was totally serviceable but did not feel as high end as the pictures suggested. Location was great as it was a very short walk to parks, Trinity, etc.
