Awful rooms (small, cramped, poor quality furnishings), great service by friendly staff, awful designed bar (looks like a train station caffeteria), good buffet breakfast, lovely entrance and staircase, but that is all you are paying for. Our tiny room at circa 650 euro a night was absolutely not worth it. I should have booked the Merrion Hotel which I am told is better, but juts a bit further away. Don't know why that fund crowd paid something like 250 million euro to buy it and are due to spend another 50 million refurbishing. Too many "luxury" "old" hotels stick on horrible wings with cheap looking over-priced rooms. A shame!
Marvelous stay. Beautiful hotel with a unique history. Cian at the front desk was unbelievably kind and accommodating. Room was small, but enough space for my wife and I. Bathroom was updated and clean. Location is great for walking and exploring Dublin. If I come back to Dublin, I can’t imagine myself staying anywhere else. Definitely worth the splurge.
Without a doubt, best afternoon tea in Dublin! We came to celebrate a birthday and the experience did not disappoint! They have a beyond impressive selection of teas and can masterfully make all drinks, with a special mention of their delicious matcha and mocha! The food was out of this world! Firstly, it is great that they manage to update the menu, introducing new sweet treats such as the banana bread and the éclair (the two best things), but manage the preserve the overall originality and tradition of the sandwiches (all of the classics and none of the brioche nonsense) and the fluffy scones. The option to refill sandwiches as one pleases makes it incredibly good value for money; the service is beyond outstanding which ongoing refills and attentive care, and they kindly offered a small plate with a dessert offering and a candle for all those celebrating birthdays. A very special please for celebrating milestones!
Myself and 5 others spent a wonderful couple of hours having afternoon tea in the Shelbourne. The food was beautiful, and the tea offering excellent. But the staff made this experience. Alex in particular was there anytime we needed a fresh pot and even offered to take some photos. She was so natural and courteous- a master class in customer service. I hope she sees this!
Literally impossible to beat. Overlooking the green parkland on one side and walking distance to Grafton Street, Trinity College, the National Gallery, and the best of Georgian Dublin on the other. You can stroll to Temple Bar in minutes or hop in a taxi to anywhere worthwhile in the city.The staff here are the real luxury. Concierge secured us last-minute reservations at Chapter One and Liath when everywhere else was “fully committed for weeks.” The doormen remember your name after one interaction. Fabulous hotel.
