We booked two nights at The Alex after a month of touring around Europe, as our return flights to Australia were booked from Dublin.
I was impressed the moment we walked in the door, we were given a warm welcome by Simon at reception - which was very pleasant and appreciated, especially having just arrived from Spain where we had endured quite a bit of bad service to put it kindly. The hospitality remained consistently fantastic during our entire stay - I must commend the professionalism and kindness of everyone who works here!
It was the perfect place to stay for a short rest, as we really just wanted somewhere to rest and relax before the journey home. The beds were very comfortable we had the best sleep! Breakfast was included and absolutely delicious too!
The location is grand! It’s just far enough from the busy part of the city and yet still just 10 minute walk to Grafton Street which is fantastic! There’s a few lovely pubs about too - we had dinner at The Lincoln Inn to have a nice hearty Irish stew and hospitality when we landed, which felt like a warm hug and tasted like home.
Highly recommend this hotel, it will not disappoint! I will be making Dublin my main hub for flying in/out of Europe from now on, and will definitely choose The Alex for the place to relax and rejuvenate!
