Our first stop in Dublin. Took an overnight flight into Dublin. Arrived at the Alex before our room was ready. The staff held our bags for us while we roamed around Dublin. They messaged us when our room was ready. Room was spacious, comfortable. Staff very accommodating.

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.…

Awful hotel. Poor cleanliness. No atmosphere. Rooms all look the same. The room has hair on the floor and even when it was changed and cleaned it made no difference. The restaurant is nothing more than a bar.

A sophisticated hotel in a great area. Upon arrival this was the very first time i have ever arrived from the states in the morning and had a room ready. During St. Patrick’s Day week I was shocked! That alone was SO nice, and unexpected but very much appreciated. The room is modern, with ample space compared to European standards. They offer all toiletries (shampoo/conditioner) I note that because I spent 10 days traveling Ireland and this was the only hotel that offered shampoo and conditioner. Women definitely appreciate that! From what I could also tell they offer at least one outlet for the standard European C plug. I mention this for women US travelers that may have a curling iron, etc they have purchased maybe on another trip visiting europe can use those in that particular outlet. Location is fantastic! A great location on the south side of Dublin that is close to the train station, small convenience store (with atm at Centra) and local, fun restaurants! Would recommend this hotel to any friends or family,…

The stay at the Alex was wonderful. In terms of location it is perfect for the city and also the University. The rooms are spacious and the shower is wonderful. At breakfast in particular I had Abdul and Sandra look after me for my stay of 5 days and they are wonderful. So kind, considerate and professional.

We were only at The Alex for one night as we were passing through to another town, but the hotel catered to our every need. We were traveling with students to attend a debate competition. We needed certain bedding arrangements which the hotel easily accommodated. We had a slight problem in our room and a staff member came immediately and took care of it. When we returned from the small town after we'd checked out, the staff allowed us to store our bags while walking around Dublin before our flight. The customer service was outstanding. I do wish they offered an a la carte alternative for breakfast, but that's a minor point. We greatly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again!

Good Location. Compared to London it was expensive and the ambience was rather cold. Room was ok but there was a comfy bed. Clean and decent bathroom on par with what you would expect. Thought breakfast was steep at £25 per head.

Beautiful, large rooms with modern, minimalist decor. The bed was amazing! Everything was great, from the bathroom to the blackout curtains. Great location, too. The only complaint was circumstantial: the fire alarm (test?) woke us up at 6 am, which completely ruined our day. As long as that isn’t a regular thing (which I assume it’s not), then I definitely recommend staying here!
