    There was a distinct smell off the duvet cover which i didn't like.. It was like when you leave washed clothes too long in the washing machine before drying them,

    The room was spacious, relaxing, and very comfortable The bed was perfect and the duvet was amazing

    The instructions for the parking garage/car park can be clearer. The parking garage /car park is shared by 3 hotels, and it is a short walk from the hotel. The room was a bit warm and we turned down the Air Conditioning, but we opted into opening a window. There is a bar on the corner from the hotel, so it may be a bit noisy throughout the evening (we did not mind this part though).

    The location was right on the outskirts of Dublin. It was great! We did not dine in the restaurant but ordered room service. The food and the service was exceptional. Rooms were comfortable and the bathroom was beautiful. Wi-Fi was great without interruptions. We will return and we recommend!

    The service at the Alex was excellent. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable even giving my husband a box of chocolates for his birthday. The room was so comfortable. Our favorite was the rainfall shower!

    The room was rather hot as the air conditioning could be a little temperamental. However, once we’re were provided a spare key to keep the air conditioning going when we were out, it was fine

    The hotel was really clean and nicely designed. The bed was very comfortable and staff were always polite and on hand.

    Great style and facilities. Location was not too busy but walking distance to most of the popular locations and Temple bar area. Lots of coffee shops in the immediate area when you leave the hotel. Staff were excellent and couldn’t do enough for us from facilitating early check in, to giving us recommendations for tourist spots.

    We thought the complimentary toiletries were a little stingy, not enough shower gel in the sachet for 2 people for 2 nights and it didn’t get topped up during turndown - and there was no toothpaste. Just could be better considering the quality of the rest of the hotel. The toiletries that were provided were decent though, Paul Costello branded. I also really liked the lighting in the whole hotel, no harsh spotlights but good quality mood lighting. An exception to this would be good for a cosmetic light / mirror light in the bathroom or at the desk, to give guests the option of good lighting for doing make-up etc.

    We really enjoyed our stay, the hotel is beautifully done the small details are luxurious, and we liked the art too. the staff were very welcoming and friendly, stored our luggage for us when we needed it and left a nice tray of treats in our room for my husband’s birthday which was a lovely touch.

    Solid Stay in Dublin
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • King Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    A luggage rack in the room would have been practical, as well as a real night table to place some things within easier reach than on the ledge at the top of the bed.

    This comfortable hotel is conveniently located, away from the traffic, but still within easy walking distance to the very heart of Dublin. As long as one is in the mood for a full Irish/English breakfast, the offer is just fine. When, after three consecutive mornings of that heavy fare I felt like something different for my last breakfast, it became quite apparent that there is not much else to feed on. Some honey comb but no real honey, a limited bread selection, no waffles, no (edible) cakes, nothing made-to-order at all, and only a very small fruit selection (with some good Irish yogurt, though). And there is no `special,' ... instead, everything repeats in something of a groundhog-day experience. Apart from that noticeable breakfast monotonicity no complaints at all.

    Views in rooms not great as office block looked straight in!! Was a little cold and functional, but the it’s a hotel.

    Had all you needed, beds comfortable and appointed, good bathroom (though no bath… but great shower) Staff were exceptional. Really friendly really helpful. Bar was in restaurant area and was there but not a destination but better to have than not. Locations was super for town and rugby stadium set Stephens Green and the like.
