Night staff is friendlier than day staff. low water pressure and bad view from my room… Anyway I like that the room is with bigger space instead of a huge bathroom. They have memory foam pillow if you request it, it was great!

The flight arrived early, and I also checked in in advance and gave the largest suite. surprise It's just that the room is a little difficult to heat, it's a little cold, the heating can only be up to 24 degrees, but in fact it can't reach 24. It took a long time to get better. The decoration is still new, the breakfast is ok, the overall is good

From the moment we entered the Alex, we were warmly welcomed. They were able to accommodate an earlier than regular room assignment. Exhausted from flight, we had lovely naps in quiet environment. Sgmary took great care of us.

My wife and I stayed at The Alex recently whilst on vacation in Dublin. Hotel is in southeast city centre close to Pearse train station, Temple Bar and Grafton Street. One of the selling points to us was the executive lounge. That was huge disappointment. The room was nice and large - we splurged for suite and highly recommend. A/C in room which was nice. Great service at front desk and at breakfast. Seemed like a corporate hotel and for tourists which is not bad thing. Nice place in good location.
