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.

It was a very pleasant stay at a modern hotel. I liked the decor. The staff was nice. Also, the location of the Alex hotel was very convenient for sites around Dublin. We walked to most places!
