I recently stayed at the Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin and found its location on O'Connell Street to be exceptionally convenient for exploring Dublin's main attractions.
However, the breakfast experience was underwhelming. Additionally, the lobby area felt cramped during peak times, making it less inviting for relaxation.
While the hotel's central location is a significant advantage, improvements in breakfast offerings and lobby comfort would enhance the overall guest experience.

Located in the center of walking street, airport shuttle buses are in front of the hotel.

Perfect location - everything within walking distance and the air coach from Derry Londonderry dropped us off right in front of the Gresham.

Excellent communal space, superb location. Room assigned really was poor - opposite ice machine, overlooking a building and AC machine so it was really noisy. Great bathroom though

Hotel Review
I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was an excellent experience. The location is perfect—right in the city center, making it easy to access key business areas, restaurants, and public transport.
The hotel itself is very clean and well-maintained, with modern and comfortable rooms. The housekeeping service was efficient, ensuring a spotless environment throughout my stay. The staff was professional and accommodating, always ready to assist with any help.
This hotel is a great choice. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the quiet atmosphere made it easy to work. Overall, a great stay—highly recommended for anyone.

Excellent hotel. Amazing breakfast and lovely room. Only issue we had was that our room was cold and we were unable to raise the temperature with the unit in the room

The location is great,staff was helpful. The room was spotless,would like to have slippers in the room. The hair dryer was broken. But overall stay was pleasant,the bed was comfortable,additional pillows in the wardrobe was great,because I have spinal condition. Definitely would stay there on another visit to Dublin.

I recently stayed at Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin, and it was a fantastic experience! This hotel is located right in the heart of Dublin, making it an excellent choice for both tourists and business travelers. Many of the city’s major attractions, such as O’Connell Street, the General Post Office, and Temple Bar, are within walking distance.
Pros:
✅ Prime Location – The hotel is centrally located, with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and shopping areas. It's perfect for sightseeing and exploring the city.
✅ Spacious & Comfortable Rooms – The rooms are well-maintained, clean, and feature comfortable beds. The soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.
✅ Delicious & Varied Breakfast – The buffet breakfast offers a great selection of hot and cold dishes, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences.
✅ Friendly & Professional Staff – The service was top-notch! The staff was welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with any requests.
✅ Elegant Atmosphere – The hotel’s decor has a classic charm, with a mix of modern amenities and historical elegance.
Cons:
⚠ Limited Parking – If you're driving, parking can be a bit tricky as spaces are limited and may require an additional fee.
⚠ Busy During Peak Times – Due to its popularity, the hotel can get quite busy, especially during check-in and breakfast hours.
Overall Verdict:
I highly recommend Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin for anyone visiting Dublin. It offers a great balance of comfort, convenience, and excellent service. Whether you're in the city for business or leisure, this hotel is a fantastic choice!
Would definitely stay here again! 😊

So disgusting !
1. The duvet have hair
2. The cleaner vacuum the hallway at 9 PM ! IMAGINE THE NOISE !
3. There are mosquitoes
4. Most of all no blow-dry on my room.
UNBELIEVABLY TERRIBLE!
I will never recommend and comeback here ! I should forget that there is an existing hotel in 23 O'Connell Street Upper, North City, Dublin, D01 C3W7
