"Great Night in a nice hotel"

On arrival we were looked after by friendly and polite staff, which conitnued throughout our stay (although it was for only one night). We had asked for a quiet room, as it was a night away from our young baby, however the first room we were allocated happened to have a aircon unit outside the window. We returned to reception and they apologised and immediately re-allocated us a new room (which was a free upgrade), which was perfect. If I could have wrapped up and taken the bed with me I would have, it was so comfortable. Lovely hotel if you get the right room, friendly and helpful staff and right in the centre of Dublin, with everything within easy walking distance.

"Old fashioned grandeur at its best."

Cleanliness was excellent. Room was large and comfortable. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Staff were friendly and helpful. However there was an all pervaiding smell of drains in the room that could not be avoided - seemed to come from the bathroom sink. Would recommend to anyone and would definately return.

"Excellent"

Simply excellent. i booked a stay for my girlfriend and me, with a reasonably priced room on this site. Not only had i booked a room but when i arrived i realised i had booked a suite for the same price i thought i was getting standard room. Chuffed isnt the word and brownie points with the girlfriend. A lot!! Gorgeous hotel all round, staff couldnt be more helpful, was soo relaxing. Would reccommend to all. HOWEVER, prices in the hotel are quite expensive but at least you`ll know to expect it

"Fantastic hotel, best location in Dublin"

We had a fantastic 2 night stay in the Gresham, ideally placed in O`Connell Street, for a city break in Dublin. The car park under the hotel was relatively easy to find and the staff were very friendly and professional. We stayed in one of the luxurious Lavery rooms which I would highly recommend, with all of the finishing touches that one would expect from such a highly esteemed hotel. Outside the hotel were landmarks such as the GPO and the tour bus stops right outside, which allow visits to such historic places as Guinness, Kilmainham gaol etc. For a walking tour I don`t think there could be a better base in central Dublin. I believe we got excellent value for our money and cannot fault the hotel, i shall certainly be visiting Dublin in the near future and will look no further than the Gresham for our stay.

"Perfect location"

Perfect location. Lovely communal areas. Our bedroom could be doing with a new carpet and a lick of paint but the bed was extemely comfortable. Room spotlessly clean.View was disappointing. Staff were very attentive, friendly and so helpful, especially Charlie the concierge, who was so knowledgeable about Dublin. Hotel prices were a little hefty but plenty of alternatives by.

"EXCELLENT HOTEL IN AN IDEAL LOCATION"

We had a great stay at the Gresham in Dublin. It is perfectly located on O`Connell Street and it is very comfortable and modern. The room was of a nice size and the bathroom felt very luxurious! The staff were polite and helpful and I would definitely come back to this hotel in the future. The secure capark at the back cost us 30 euros for 30 hours, which is not dearconsiderering it is in the centre of a capital city!

As a former hospitality industry employee in management,craft trainer & assessor capacity with Forte Hotels, Holiday Inn & Belfast Europa Hotel, I was very impressed with the standard of service & attention to detail provided by The Gresham. The two concierges who were on duty during our stay and the housekeeping lady deserve a special mention for their prompt response to our requests & their genuinely pleasant willigness to be of assistance. I look forward to staying in The Gresham in future & recommending it to others.

"Clean and tidy and good location"

Nice hotel and great location for seeing Dublin. Just a couple of small points - there was no seal on the plug in our bath, so water kept leaving rather fast!! Also, had a hideous `view` of a concrete wall, and we were woken up both mornings by the sound of loads of beer barrels being loaded/unloaded below!! But in a different room, am sure it would be lovely!

"A lovely olde world Dublin Hotel with friendly and very accomodating staff. "

A lovely olde world Dublin Hotel with friendly and very accomodating staff. The bar has a laid back, comfortable atmosphere. I have stayed in both the older part of the hotel and the refurbished part and have found the accomodation to be good in both. The late weekend breakfast was especially welcome. The hotel`s location is central without being too busy or noisy.
