    No inside gym facilities, had to use a sister hotel a couple of blocks away. Restaurant was convenient, if needed, but average food.

    Good location, reasonably priced, staff were cordial. Good coffee shop (run by a third-party) that was open on weekdays.

    The dinner menu wasn’t the best. It didn’t have a great option for vegetarians/vegans also.

    The staff were super friendly and professional. The bed was extremely comfortable. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The location of the hotel was excellent. Highly recommend

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Alex hotel and I wanted to take a moment to express my utmost satisfaction with my experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted by friendly and attentive staff who made me feel instantly welcome.The check-in process was a breeze, and I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency and professionalism of the front desk staff. They provided me with all the necessary information about the hotel facilities, amenities, and even recommended some local attractions and dining options for me to explore during my stay. Upon entering my room, I was immediately struck by how clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed it was. The attention to detail was evident, from the luxurious bedding to the stylish furniture and modern amenities. I truly felt like I was stepping into a home away from home. The housekeeping team deserves special praise for their exceptional attention to cleanliness and maintaining a spotless environment. Every time I returned to my room, I found it immaculately cleaned and well-stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. This attention to detail did not go unnoticed and contributed to my overall positive experience.

    The hotel bar must have been down a bartender or something weird. The main server (who actually seemed like the manger and not a server) advised that ordering a cocktail would take 20 mins or more. Her demeanor was very brusque and she seemed like she wanted us to go away. It was only 9pm.

    The staff was delightful and so very helpful. They accommodated my down allergy by bringing me excellent non-feather pillows and comforter. PLUS, the hotel lobby smelled fantastic!

    Some of the wiring in the room was odd. My regular 3-pronged plug did not fit in the socket in the room, despite it being UK & Ireland. Breakfast was disappointing for 20 Euros and not worth it. If I went to a cafe for brunch in Dublin I'd get a much better breakfast and choice. Staff seemed present half the time.

    The rooms are very comfortable and spacious and it is a nice hotel. Liked the decor and seating. Staff at reception/the front desk are excellent.

    Clean cosy hotel, friendly and welcoming staff always there to assist you, car park nearby with reasonable rates of 15€ overnight, the grafton road just 10 minutes walk Stephen’s gardens as well. The house keeping wonderful, I like that rooms are provided with smart TVs.

    Shower was small, but a minor issue in an overall very positive stay.

    The Alex Hotel in Dublin is a delightful place to stay, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes guests feel at home. The staff are a standout feature, providing friendly and helpful service that truly enhances the overall experience. The rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated, creating a relaxing environment perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city. The bathrooms are spacious, providing ample room for personal care routines, although the shower size may be a bit compact for some. They made a definite effort to accommodate our early arrival from an international flight. Location was close to Trinity College, though on the opposite side of campus from the Temple Bar mayhem. The breakfast at The Alex Hotel is solid, offering a variety of tasty options to start the day right. Despite the minor issue with the shower size, the overall experience at The Alex Hotel is overwhelmingly positive. The combination of excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and delicious food, good location, and good value compared to other high-end hotels makes it a top choice for anyone visiting Dublin. I would definitely stay here again.

    Breakfast was a buffet only in the restaurant. We did find some great options not far away.

    A newer hotel with a comfortable room and a very pleasant staff. The location worked out well and we walked around downtown from there.
