I like that The Alex was a little quieter than my last hotel in Dublin. Was a little farther walk to shopping but still a great location. Not a bad view either. Room was spacious, and very clean. The only aspect I was disappointed in was the breakfast in the restaurant. The eggs seemed a bit under cooked, and the juices all tasted watered down. More variety would have have been good. The dinner in the restaurant, though, was very good! I would definitely stay at the Alex again.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Alex. We had a room on the front which was quiet and didn’t hear much from outside. The room was huge especially the bed! Had all the facilities we needed like hairdryer, mini fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and free waters. Great to leave luggage on check in/check out. Room was clean and just loved the luxury decor of the hotel. Used the great gym facilities at the sister hotel The Mont round the corner. In a great location to the centre of Dublin. We walked and I think it would be like 15/20 mins dependent on where you wanted to go and the area around the hotel felt safe. The Dublin express from the airport was conveniently around the corner for the drop off/pick up. Would really recommend to stay here! Only downside would be the very late check in at 4pm
