Staff were great, rooms were very comfortable and it’s in a great location

Amy Ireland

We had a lovely, comfortable stay at The Alex. Absolutely loved the decor and staff were great. We were happy to find a pool table in the residents bar as well. Hotel is handy for town. As it’s situated behind trinity you are close to all of the best shops in city centre though while staying on a quiet enough street. The nearby street parking is free at the weekend too.

Katrina Ireland

The whole experience was incredible start to finish. Felix who worked on the front desk was so attentive & warm. Will definitely return.

Leanne Australia

The staff were exceptionally very accommodating and helpful

Polly Ireland

Every member of staff we came across were so friendly! Being quite anxious about staying in a hotel during Covid, knowing the policy that the hotel was following put my mind at ease and was more than happy with how the hotel operated during this time. Would definitely stay again! Super central to city centre too!

Grainne Ireland

Beautiful modern hotel, comfortable bed, very clean, great location.

Sk Canada

The room was beautiful. So comfortable and clean. The resident lounge was a lovely touch also.

Dave Ireland

Modern decor, extremely comfortable rooms, excellent location.

Sinéad Qatar

The Alex was fantastic - the rooms, staff, and beds!

Molly United Kingdom

Spectacular bedroom, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff were very warm and welcoming, the room was very quiet even in the city center!
