The Gresham Rocks!

Our "go-to" hotel in Dublin - close to attractions and handy to the Airport Coach. The breakfasts are beyond expectation. Thanks for another great Dublin experience on the way home from a mediterranean cruise and visit with family and friends in Northern Ireland. A great conclusion to our vacation.

Lovely hotel, excellent location

Myself and two friends stayed at The Gresham this summer for a girls night away. We had a lovely time in the hotel and couldn't fault it at all. The room was a good size, plenty of space for us and our luggage. It was quiet and we had no issues. The staff were lovely and stored our bags for us upon check-in (we arrived early morning, room wasn't available until later in the day). The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely stay at the Gresham again.

Staff were very courteous and helpful. Rooms were quiet and very clean; the complimentary breakfast is great (go after 9am if you can, it’s less busy). The hotel is conveniently located near pubs, bookstores, a movie theatre, various shops. I’ve stayed there several times and will always book it first if available.
