My stay at The Alex was quite enjoyable, with spacious and clean rooms that provided a relaxing environment. The location was ideal for exploring Dublin, as it was close to many attractions, yet tucked away from the busyness of the city center. However, I did experience a minor issue with the size of the shower, which could have been more accommodating. Overall, the excellent breakfast and friendly staff more than made up for this small inconvenience.

My stay at The Alex was enjoyable, with beautiful decor and spacious, clean rooms (the attention to detail was evident!). However, the dining options were somewhat limited and could use improvement. The service was mostly attentive, yet I did encounter some hiccups that detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.

Rooms

The room was modern and comfortable, equipped with quality amenities (I loved the pressure in the shower too!). It did exhibit minor wear and tear, though, which was unexpected given the hotel’s prestigious standing.

Service

Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, always eager to assist with my requests. I appreciated their advice on local sights (Lucas and Eric at the bar gave great tips!), but I did encounter an unwelcoming manager during my visit.

Location

The hotel's central location was fantastic, allowing me easy access to shops, Trinity College, and local pubs (a perfect base for exploring Dublin!). I enjoyed the quiet street feel while being just a short walk from the bustling city.

Dining

6.0

While the restaurant had delicious options, the breakfast selection was a little lacking—more fresh vegetables or health-conscious choices would be appreciated. It felt a bit overpriced at €17 per meal without a meal plan.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel offers great facilities, although I think they need to improve the signage for the parking area (I got lost trying to find it!). The ambiance in the lobby was lovely, adding to the overall experience.
