The Alex Hotel Dublin

Stayed here one night with our small baby. The room was very spacious which was ideal when we have to travel with so much for the baby. The travel cot provided was also of really good quality as we have had some poor experiences in other hotels recently so we were really happy with it.||The room and the hallways were some of the cleanest I have stayed in with little to no wear or tear evident. It felt like we were one of the first people to stay in the hotel which was great.||The only improvement I would suggest to the hotel would be regarding the food. Dinner is reasonably priced for Dublin City centre. The food was OK, nothing wrong with it but it just was not the most flavoursome food at the same time. Similarly for breakfast, the cooked food needed to be hotter for the price you are paying to stay in the hotel.||Overall, I would definitely return to this hotel if I wanted to treat myself in Dublin again in the future.

A very good hotel which I would definitely stay at again. First of all, the front desk team including Simon were amazing and super helpful throughout our stay. The service staff in the restaurant were also awesome. The room was totally serviceable but did not feel as high end as the pictures suggested. Location was great as it was a very short walk to parks, Trinity, etc.

The front of house staff were a credit to the hotel. From check in ( am sorry if I got your name wrong) Annie, until we checked out Simon. They were unbelievably friendly courteous and helpful. If we ever go to Dublin again, this will be our goto hotel. The room was lovely, with a fab shower and everything you would need. Thank you to all the staff for giving us a perfect night.

The service was wonderful. Down at the restaurant they really do take care of of you and if you need to work it had excellent space for plugging in and getting work done. The lattes were lovely. The location is top notch for walking around Dublin, and they have access to a car park but a short jaunt down from the hotel—very important in Dublin. You have to have access to safe parking. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you plan limited driving in and out of Dublin(after all it is downtown and rush hour is a thing no matter what country you are in.)

Located centrally and a short walk from some great restaurants, parks, and Trinity college, this hotel was very convenient. The staff were very accommodating, and George was very happy to answer my questions. Their sustainability policy is noticeable through their use of environmentally friendly room keys, refillable toiletries, and nice/sturdy mugs and dishes. Our room had an espresso machine which was lovely after a long day of exploring. If you’re looking for something quick and close, both the hotel breakfast and Vice Pizza were great! Accessibility wise, there was a ramp and automatic door at the entrance. There was no uneven flooring and the rugs were kept to the sides of the room or were unnoticeable. The staff were extremely accommodating and even called our room to make sure everything was up to par.

The service was impeccable and the bar staff, especially Emre and Lou were great characters. Room was great. Location was great to walk to the Aviva Stadium and also to visit Trinity College and the sight seeing hot spots. We didn’t use the restaurant so cannot comment there.

Had the absolute pleasure of being served by Dev, the bartender at The Alex Hotel bar in Dublin—and let me just say, the Old Fashioned he made was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and crafted with real care and attention to detail.||Dev knows his craft and delivers it with style and professionalism. If you’re in Dublin and appreciate a great cocktail, do yourself a favor and come by this bar. Ask for Dev—he’ll elevate your evening.||Highly recommend! 🥃

Zaida (front desk) made our stay unforgettable. I arrived with a terrible migraine and she let us check in early so I could lay down. Everyone was very accommodating. I broke my collar bone the week before our trip and they offered to bring ice to our room anytime I needed it to ice.|The room was super comfortable - large and clean. The king size bed was amazing. Pillows good and sheets very soft. Air conditioning.|Great location - central to most sites in Dublin.|Plenty of outlets|Free coffee and water in the room with real cream in fridge|The hotel let us store our luggage the day we checked out, including my brother and his wife's luggage even though they didn't stay there.|Can't say enough nice things about this hotel.

Comfortable and stylish hotel located in a walkable area of Dublin. We arrived ahead of check-in time so our rooms were not ready right away. Our room was spacious, quiet, and clean with a comfortable bed. The blackout curtains worked well to keep light and noise out. Bathroom is equipped with a nice rain shower. The only feedback I would give is about stocking the rooms with enough soap and shampoo for more than a night - the packages of single-use soaps are a bit wasteful and inconvenient. Room was also stocked with an espresso machine, tea, and hot chocolate which was great. Hot breakfast buffet served in the hotel was delicious, would recommend! Overall we enjoyed our stay here very much!

The Alex is a great hotel when staying in Dublin if you want to be just slightly off the beaten path but still within walking distance to a lot of the fun museums, bars, and restaurants. I appreciated this hotel for their location. By not being on the busiest of streets it was a lot more relaxing and quiet of a stay. We slept good every night and didn't hear any rowdy bar hopers as can be the case when deep in the heart of the city. But again, as a plus we weren't too far out that we easily walked most places we wanted to go within 15-30 minutes. And by taxi everything we saw was about 10 minutes so easy to get around and feel like we had a nice location. The service and staff here are 5/5. Everyone from the manager to the different gals behind the desk were so lovely and professional. Very helpful and just genuinely nice people. We felt valued as customers staying here and appreciated all their help with getting us taxis and suggesting good restaurants. The rooms were very comfortable and I really loved the decor. Very masculine yet warm bedroom decor. Comfortable beds and nice sized bathrooms. This hotel isn't too big so it was quiet and comfortable. Also the perks are that they have a coffee shop attached to the hotel and also a fabulous little restaurant. Super convenient when you want someplace close and easy. At the coffee shop they had one of the best vanilla lattes I'd had in Ireland. Also at the restaurant I would recommend the passion fruit cocktail, the extra cheesy delicious cheeseburger, and the fish & Chips. All great.

A great hotel stay for us. There were three of us and we had a suite - there was plenty of room for our luggage and for us to move about. The room was well appointed and the bottled water was refreshed each day which I appreciated. You will need an engineering degree to operate the coffee maker, which is annoying - so that has to go. But other than that, we had everything we needed. This is a typical European bedroom layout, with no coversheet - just a fitted sheet and a comforter. But there are at least some layers between you and the mattress, and all bedding was clean. The shower was set up terribly, and the bathroom overall dark, but the rest of the suite is fantastic; light, bright, and comfortable. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was lovely, and the location cannot be beat.

Moderately priced hotel located near the touristy areas in downtown Dublin. Rooms are comfortable and breakfast buffet had a nice selection of breads, Irish bacon, fluffy eggs, fresh juice and hot coffee. Rooms and common areas were clean and staff was friendly

Great location. Inconsistent service. Coffee shop closed on weekend. Room lack a view but comfortable enough. I promise I wont steal the hangers!!?? Staff was nice but didn't feel like hotel professionals- more like they were attending university. Lobby was full of people that looked like students using free WiFi. Food was available but nothing special. Photos on website look way better than reality. Just ok.

The hotel was clean and pretty with friendly staff. We rented the Alex Suite with access to the hotel lounge (great complimentary coffee, tea, wine, soda and beer). The Suite was spacious and the bed and pillow were fluffy. The hotel staff, Simon, was particular super helpful when we were checking out by offering to call us a taxi for the airport because it will be much faster than uber apps in Dublin.

The accommodations are comfortable. Nothing too elaborate but comfortable hotel sheets, smells good and very clean. They are very thoughtful with all the right amount of coffee, creamer and chocolate bites for your own turn down service. It's post COVID so they do not provide daily housekeeping . That's okay we are staying for two nights and will survive. The carbon footprint is alive and well in Ireland. Only one towel per person. They do however provide a robe which is super comfortable. The air conditioner was cold and blowing when we got to the hotel. Nice touch after a hot day of traveling and site seeing. We'll try the restaurant tomorrow evening and if if wows us I will edit the review. The attendant at the desk wasn't the friendliest and she tried her hardest not to be a witch. We got through check in but I still rated it a four.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Had so many issues with this hotel I don't even know where to begin. They are understaffed, the hotel smells weird at times (like old socks), and had a pair of athletic shoes (?) stolen during my stay. Also, on our second day, after a long day of walking around, we returned to our room (which had been given turndown service) to find half of the bed SOAKING WET. No idea what the liquid was, and don't want to know, but given there was NO HOUSEKEEPING AROUND that time of night, we had to blow-dry the bed in order to sleep. Not to mention, the A/C barely worked, so we'd wake up sweating every night... and when I asked for someone to come look at it, they kept telling us that it did in fact work, but that we had to give it 20 minutes to kick on. Nope... just didn't work. Design of the room makes no sense either. The shower is weirdly arranged so that you can't stand under the overhead shower head without a piece of metal (from the second / handheld removable shower head) jamming into your side. Asked multiple times for more soap / mugs for our room one night, but again, no housekeeping there, so had to go down there myself to retrieve them. Some of the staff seems to be trying, but the place is severely understaffed. Others were just straight up rude. Avoid, Avoid, Avoid.

W are staying in this hotel in Dublin, first time here. Ate in restaurant first night, liked it so ate there again 3rd night since found nothing better close by. Good lamb and other entrees, good greens and desserts. Reasonable prices and service. Got tired of Pub food, fish and chips.

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner at this hotel's restaurant. My Piri Piri Chicken tasted very good, as did his Fish and Chips. The zucchini was tasty, and had a hint of vinegar. The menu was limited but fine. The quiet music and relaxing ambiance were perfect after a long day of travel. Our server was helpful, friendly and willing to chat. This restaurant is available to guests of the Alex and at least one sister hotel, the Davenport. The restaurant is conveniently across the street from our hotel (the Davenport), and we may return.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Alex. It was not only chic but in a great location. The rooms are well designed and the staff was so friendly. We arrived a few hours before check in and they already had the room ready for us after a long day of traveling from the states. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip!

The decor is a bit dated, but it's not that bad. The lighting is a bit weird in the room. For the price I probably wouldn't stay there again. It just was not worth it price wise. I did, however, like that they sent up macrons and chocolate covered strawberries when they made a mistake. The breakfast was meh, but really not surprising. Hotel breakfasts tend to be meh.

This was our base of operations for four days in Dublin. Perfect hotel and located centrally to our goals in the city-history, music, and craic. The decor is perfect and the staff are helpful and friendly making both recommendations for dining, music, and arranging for an early am taxi. Comfortable bed and plush comforters made sleeping easy. Would likely return.

I really loved staying here! The hotel is extremely cool and has a bit of a hipster, vintage, boutique feel to it. Hotel staff was so sweet and helpful. The location made it easy to get around, beds were comfy, wifi worked great, had this beautiful rain shower, and I loved looking around at all of the beautifully designed details. You can tell that so much thought went into each detail of the design of this hotel. Would for sure recommend this spot and come back! I was also surprised by the reasonable price that I found this for, that allowed me to book it for work just within hotel caps. The restaurant also looked super swanky, kinda old hollywood glam vibe. Looks like a lot of corporate meetings going on there. Hope you all enjoy it.

This hotel has a great location and cute lobby, but don't fall for that because there have to be better choices. The AC is the pits for starters and the staff could care less. The word sorry is not in their vocabulary. By 3pm our room had not been cleaned and we were gone all day. I was told new rooms or people checking in were the priority. Breakfast was good so no complaints there, but I would not feel comfortable recommending this hotel to people who travel a lot.

I haven't even had the opportunity to stay at the Alex hotel but I am already extremely disappointed. I booked a bucket list trip to Ireland with detours to see your beautiful country. One could have never expected the current situation with the coronavirus, however I was still planning on making the trip. Once our president put the travel restrictions in on Wednesday things became more challenging. I called the Alex hotel, the Ocallahan group to ask what my options were for cancellation. I was told since Ireland was not on the restricted list there was really nothing they could do, and would not provide me with a refund. In full disclosure, I booked a non refundable rate. When I tried to explain that my flight was on Air Portugsl going through Lisbon hence my concern, they really didn't seem to care and only offered me to extend the trip out six months. Meaning I have to know now exactly when within the next six months I would be able to get to Ireland. considering the current situation that was a little difficult. I certainly wish I had O'Callaghan's crystal ball to know when this would all be resolved. With that said I picked a few days in July so I would not immediately lose over 1300 euros. To add insult to injury I was told I would owe an additional 300 plus euros at check-in... As a point of reference, when I called Air Portugal, full refund. When I called tours by locals to cancel my tours no problem, and he said, "please look me up when you come to Ireland the next time" When I called to cancel my Airport transfer, not a problem. When I called Sofitel in Lisbon to cancel my room, not a problem. It seems The Alex Hotel is the only one that had a problem. I own two businesses in the United States and people are canceling their appointments left and right using the coronavirus as an excuse, not all are the true, however as a business person I understand Goodwill now will gain me more fortune later. Clearly the O' Callaghan group and The Alex Hotel don't understand or subscribe to the same philosophy. Very very disappointing

This hotel is situated in a great part of town. It is situated on a quieter street which was awesome. The hotel has a cool vibe too it, but the lighting is a bit off. The service was mixed. The restaurant/bar staff were great, but the front desk staff seemed unorganized and scattered. I would probably stay here again due to location.
