Wonderful hotel in the best area. Very close to the Square to walk around. Lovely staff and the reception couldn’t have been more helpful. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent bathroom, nice hot shower. Alvaro, the desk clerk, was OUTSTANDING. FIVE STARS for him alone. Superb location, within walking distance of everything one may want in Dublin Center. Highly recommended.

A very stylish hotel. Everything was high-end in my opinion. Great beds. Large rooms. Comfortable seating areas. The lobby is very welcoming. The gym is exceptionally well equipped for a hotel gym. The Alex is very centrally located - literally my landmarks to find my way home were the Oscar Wilde house and the main Irish Museum of art. Short walking distance to the dart station. Conveniently located to airport buses. Lots and lots of great pubs and restaurants right in the area. You can walk everywhere from here on both sides of the river I would definitely stay here again.

This was our first time in Dublin. It's a great location for exploring the city on foot and for getting to/from Aviva stadium (close to trains, but only a 15 minute walk). Friendly staff and great breakfast. The place was really clean and well presented (and the reception area smelled amazing - forgot to ask what fragrance they used!) We'll definitely be back, highly recommended.

Loved the quiet location of The Alex next Merrion Square and a short walk from everything to do and see in Dublin City Centre. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was quiet and very clean. Would not hesitate to stay at The Alex the next time we visit Dublin.

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!

The staff was most helpful at every point of our stay. Whine dinner was excellent, menu choices were limited, overall, however a 10 out of 10 for the five day stay at The Alex.

I booked three rooms. The room for my two girls with twin beds had a few issues. They had some mold in the shower, the coffee maker didn’t work properly and house keeping couldn’t decide if the twin beds should be pushed together or pulled apart. Everything was wonderful for the other two rooms. When I did have an issue with housekeeping not serving the room, and let the front desk know, things were resolved. In fact, the room was serviced promptly, a hand written apology note was left and complimentary chocolate covered strawberries and a voucher for drinks were left. Simon was particularly helpful with booking breakfast at the last minute and arranging a taxis. Things happen, but how The Alex handles issues when made aware speaks volumes.
