Very nice hotel. It was my first visit. Only downside was lack of a bar. But then two very nice bars next door. Oh, and breakfast was expensive. Probably the most I’ve paid in all of the places I have stayed in Dublin.

Thank you Alex Hotel Staff!
The Alex hotel was great overall! The location, cleanliness and especially the staff made it a wonderful choice for our trip. The front desk staff including both Karens, Adelina, and Diego made our trip very memorable and took great care of us. Would highly recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

A perfectly located, wonderfully staffed hotel in the center of Dublin. The people at the reception desk could not have been nicer or more helpful, and one morning at the breakfast buffet, when I openly warned the lack of homemade brown bread, one of the cooks heard that and rushed to get me a few slices that were left from the day before. Still delicious.
