    Excellent location. Todys Bar / restaurant was a little cool when we had dinner. We were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary and the staff kindly sent up some cup cakes , beautifully presented. Really enjoyed our stay.

    Excellent all round. One tiny little bit of feedback and it's for all the right reasons. When we went to breakfast at least eight different staff asked us how we were. We are used to one greeting us, eight felt a bit excessive. But great staff.

    Great location and great staff mostly Front Desk / HKP and Restaurant staff The only thing I would recommend is for the Bell Boys be more attentive. My daughter and I exited at 6.30am today with 2 bags each and while they were standing there none offered to help us as they were busy talking to each other. But it’s a nice hotel with general great food and customer service

    Rooms clean and modern. Bathrooms good, bright, felt hygienic. Staff great, warm and welcoming and helpful. Food let the side down. Generally overly salty, many dishes tough, evening meals weren't great. If I came again I'd eat elsewhere. breakfast had a good selection but generally needed to be hotter and fresher. The bread was delicious. Liked the new reno. Location excellent bit room overlooked brick walls and no possibility of getting room overlooking o'Connel street which was a shame and why i booked it.

    The control of cold-hot water in the bathroom is very sensitive. The hotel could provide some usb-charging points in the room.

    Very well located hotel. Excellent breakfast, plenty of alternatives. The staff is very friendly and helpful, always meeting our demands with a smile. Very clean and silent rooms.

    The interior design of the room looks a bit dull. The corridors on the floors looks especially gloomy. But it's probably a matter of personal taste of each individual.

    Brilliant location. Fantastic breakfast with a wide variety of food to suit all tastes.

    This is an ideal location for traveling around Dublin. The Aircoach from the airport has a stop right outside the hotel (across the street) as well as the LUAS. The room was very clean and had comfortable beds. Definitely be sure to stop by the bar for a tipple - some of the best cocktails in Dublin.

    It seemed like all the bases were covered and you can drop your key in a box for express checkout.

    The Gresham is one of the most famous hotels in Dublin. I always thought it would be too expensive for my taste but was surprised at how competitively priced it was for so central a location. A grand aunt of mine transported guns out of there in the 1920s after a rebel operation there so I had a bit of curiosity to walk in her footsteps though not to follow in them. The hotel lobby has an ostentatious feel, and there is a bar/restaurant to the right as you enter. The rooms have a modern feel and are spaciously built out. The last room I stayed in had two tvs and two double beds, and an expansive walk in shower in the bathroom. In addition to the regular shower head there was was a large overhead vertical shower head with high pressure the kind Americans love and, if your'e like me, you will love it too. The highlight though for me was the breakfast. You can get the full Irish breakfast, sausages, rashers eggs, beans, even chips I think. Beyond that is a range of pastries or different breads with toasts and jams and you can even cut your own slice slice of sourdough. When you enter they will not offer you merely a cup of tea or coffee but produce an entire pot of your choice. The coffee got me wired for the day. You have a choice of drinks you can pour for yourself, fresh oj, cranberry or grapefruit. I loved the grapefruit.
