We arrived early morning, but the front desk person was very nice and let us go to our room. They even gave us our second room for our daughter on the same floor very close to us. Hotel is in the central to everything to reach easily. Rooms are clean, staff are very friendly! Breakfast is excellent! I recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Dublin.

We were surprised how convenient the location was for everything - so easy to get too using TFI or the Dublin express service. The staff were amazing - couldn’t do enough to help - everyone we encountered was amazing with excellent customer service at the heart of their approach to their job. Would stay again

Everything was great except for the floor coverings of the corridors and the rooms which seemed very cheap utilitarian Linoleum which detracted from the otherwise beautiful hotel.

Best hotel in Dublin
The Gresham is by far the best hotel we have staid at in Dublin. We have visited Dublin ten times and 8 different hotels. Dublin is unfortuntunately too expensive in general and hotels in particular The Gresham is No exception but here you get your money’s worth
