To get to my room I had to go upstairs, along and down again which seemed a little odd. It was not a problem but if you have heavy bags it is worth checking where your room is before taking the key. The room was tidy and clean and I slept like a log. The sink did not drain very... More

Stayed 3 nights (not together). Hotel was very nice, but at least a 15 min. walk to nearest attraction. It took me about 40 mins. to St. Patrick's Cathedral. It is on the canal and that is interesting to watch the canal boats locking. Also no pool if you like to unwind after walking all day.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and we were very pleased. The breakfast was ok but I would recommend more fresh vegetables (tomatos, green peppers, cucumbers, etc). It's a good location for Dublin attractions.

Some months ago the lease on my apartment expired. And I have been staying in Dublin hotels ever since. My favourite hotel in the luxury category is the Four Seasons (followed closely by the Westin). In the mid-range price category, my hotel of choice is the Gibson. Of the hotels available at budget prices in Dublin (circa Euro 75 or... More

We stayed here for two nights. We were allocated a smoking room, which had a strong smell. If we had known smoking was permitted in this hotel, we would have requested a non-smoking room.
