Left a lot to be desired

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have to say, it left a lot to be desired. Right from the beginning, the atmosphere felt a bit off. The walls and doors seemed to hint that the hotel wanted to be something special, but it just didn't deliver. It felt outdated, like it was stuck in a past era. When we checked in, the front desk staff wasn’t very friendly. We stood there for a little while, with four employees behind the desk, and not one of them greeted us. Instead, we were just told to wait, which was a bit disappointing. A warm welcome goes a long way, and we didn’t get that here. On a positive note, the bed and some of the furniture looked like they had been updated, so that was a slight improvement. But overall, considering the price we paid, I don’t think we’d choose to stay here again. There are just too many other options that offer a better experience.

The hotel was great for transport links. Bus stop very close by. Was disappointed that the shower was over the bath. Would of expected a stand alone shower. Breakfast was fine but we didn't see the menu options to order eggs or waffles until the last day as nobody had told us. Only one working lift which means long waiting times at busy times.

Bathroom .. shower over bath in a 4 star hotel was very unexpected for a relatively new hotel.Bathroom door was dirty. Bed was comfortable. Room service food was good. It's a nice hotel. Although not sure if it's worth the money.

Hard to fault. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Reception looked after our bags before check in. The hotel was clean. It was easy to get to and parking charge was reasonable for over 24hours. Breakfast was excellent and again staff were extremely helpful. They kindly filled our water bottles with water and ice for the day we had ahead. The room had a lovely balcony from which I could sit and enjoy the river and passers by. The bed was comfortable though we were too warm. It was a hot day though.

Ok Hotel

My daughter and I stayed in this hotel because my son was already there with his class and I decided to stay close. The front desk staff are supper nice and they will help you any way they can. I kind of didn't like their breakfast rule. If you didn't book the day before, they will charge you 3 euros more due to I don't know what. If you stay in the hotel, you are a privilege guest and you shouldn't be charged more. One other thing I didn't like was that we booked a spa and due to traffic we were 15 min late. I know it was our fault but they should understand that this is a completely foreign country for us and we are not familiar with the transportation system. They charged us the full amount and I was like I would definitely mention this in my reviews for others to know there is no credit form their ends. Moreover, the concierge was supper nice guy named Philip who helped us a lot. He is a supper understanding guy opposite of the others.

A perfect hotel for tourists or people traveling to Ireland. Walking distance to 3Arena, EPIC, and the convention center. Walkable and surrounded by dining options. The room was great - quiet, comfortable, with a gorgeous balcony. The view was stunning, and the check out is noon - perfect for adjusting to a bit of jet lag. I will definitely be staying here.

Everything was wonderful

I stayed three nights at the Spencer with my adult daughter. I took the Dublin Express bus from the airport and it was fast and inexpensive. The bus stopped across the street from the hotel so very convenient. All the staff were great and accommodating and they lent us umbrellas on a day when it rained. The Luas was a two minute walk behind the hotel so very convenient to transit and get around to anywhere we wanted to go but we found it was not that far to walk either so we often just walked. It took us 17 minutes to walk from the hotel to Trinity College and it was an easy, flat walk. We booked a basic room but found it to be very spacious with lots of natural light and a separate sitting area. Beds were extremely comfortable. I also liked being just a little outside the city/action as it was quieter at night. And there was a Tesco express a couple blocks away to get snacks and bottled water. I also feel the price was good for this level of accommodation. One of my daughters lives in Smithfield and I looked at the Maldron and the Hendrick. Neither are as nice as the Spencer yet they were both more $. So, overall, very happy with this choice and would definitely look at staying at the Spencer again
