    The Alex was a fantastic hotel. It was walking distance from great shopping, tourist attractions, and pubs without feeling too hectic. They also had an easy parking option for those with rental cars.

    The price was very high for one night. Much higher than the week before. Also I had a simple order for breakfast and it was very slow to come - but perfect when it arrived.

    Beautiful room - food very good. I was with a group for dinner and drinks and the staff were wonderful.

    I honestly have no complaints!

    Super location. Near some great restaurants and pubs. Close to art gallery. Beds were so comfortable that I slept 11 hours the first night. Staff were lovely and helpful. Very quiet on our floor. Good Irish breakfast and good coffee. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat. I will recommend it all my friends.

    The only thing I would suggest is thicker toilet roll, I really don’t like flimsy tissue, it’s a small touch but makes a difference

    The hotel was lovely in a great location. We went early to drop our bags as it was a few hours until check-in. The staff were very helpful and the hotel was designed beautifully. When we returned later, we heard we’d been selected as guest of the day! So we had some lovely treats left in our room & other perks. Such a nice touch and made my little boy so happy

    No drinking glasses in the room other than in the bathroom. Even if a room doesn’t have a mini bar guests need glasses to drink out of (that are not from the bathroom). Coffee cups in the room weren’t cleaned properly each day. No bottle opener.

    Great central location. Comfortable bed and cool room decor.

    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 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.
