The price of our room was WAY too much for the room we had. There was nothing unique about it. It…read morewas a standard room. There was an issue with payment that was in fault due to the company we booked with, however when the information by the front desk was situated they left my husband and I just sitting in the lobby not acknowledging us. It was when I got annoyed and approached them they said "you will still need to pay in order to get into your room." All I could think, was how long were they going to let us sit there? The employees in one of their restaurants weren't the friendliest. There is nothing within walking distance. There are better places to stay.

This is a must place to stay if you don't want to go downtown and want stay close to the airport. Parking is terrible especially if they have a planned event. Nestled away in a little neighborhood, didn't find anything in walking distance. We had one of the luxury suites which included dinner. The four poster bed was made for a king. We melted into the plush mattress and comforters. The bathroom was like a spa and included thick white bath robes. Felt like it was a spa. Our room included dinner at the Fahrenheit Restaurant. What a wonderful place to dine. We got to order from a 3 course menu and everything was wonderful. Treat yourself to some pampering. Live like a king and queen for a night.

Came across this, unusually named, place while out on a walk on a rainy evening. I will admit the…read morename made me want to see the inside but I was also looking for food and the menu outside said they had chicken wings, so in I went. Why they called it The Bram Stoker I have no idea, once you stepped inside there was nothing to do with Bram to be seen. Anyway, the batman, who I would think was the owner, was very friendly and I ordered a beer. But when I asked about ordering the chicken wings he said he would get some one to come down to me. As it turns out there is a restaurant, called Indigo, down the back of the pub and they cover all the food orders for the pub. It took quite a few mins before she appeared, though she was very friendly. The 'large buffalo wings' left a lot to be desired, they were not large by any sense of the word. I went with the BBQ sauce as she informed me, when I asked, that 'Franks sauce' contained Tabasco. They were alright but they weren't going to fill me up for the night. Before the waitress had come down to me I had asked the barman if he had any newspaper I could read. He said he was sorry he didn't but offered me a tourism magazine he had at the end of the bar. (it was in pristine condition and I would say had only been open a few times) After news, tourism would be my next best read in a pub... And I always like to know what Bord Failte are spewing to the tourists, what crap is m***pages.ie? :p Anyway I digress, finished the food and tried looking for the bill, going to the bar as I couldn't see the young lady, and was informed she would be sent down.... Another few minutes later. All in all the pub and barman were very nice and welcoming, the food delivery situation - and the food itself - leave a bit to be desired. Come in here for a quite pint if you are tired walking along the Coast Rd path..... You can't miss the big sign.

We stayed here one night before leaving Dublin. The Bram Stoker theming is kind of cheesy and only…read moreamounts to a handful of Dracula prints in a back hallway. The rooms are very basic - no luxury here, no sir. Hard mattresses, 80's furniture. The afternoon we checked in, a dog in the neighbor's yard (the rooms face a row of residential back yards) barked nonstop for two hours when we were trying to take a nap. The staff seemed baffled when we told them, and not particularly helpful. The staff is the hotel's main weakness. There was a very unfriendly woman waiting tables when we went down to the restaurant and our waiter was an absolute snot. He made it more than clear, waiting on us was a big hassle for him. The reason I give the hotel a three is they have a beautiful, inviting restaurant and a surprisingly great craft beer selection. If they can upgrade the rooms to match the restaurant and fire the rude staff, they might have something.

If I could give negative stars, I would…read more The Gibson Hotel in Dublin was by far the worst hotel I've stayed at during my trip to Ireland - and this is my 5th hotel here. Every other property I visited was warm, welcoming, and accommodating. The Gibson was the exact opposite. From the moment I arrived, the staff were cold, unhelpful, and unwelcoming. At check-in, I was handed a key with barely a word and simply pointed toward the lift. No offer to assist with luggage, no information about the hotel, no sense of hospitality whatsoever. Throughout my stay, whenever I passed through the lobby, staff either ignored me entirely or deliberately looked busy to avoid interacting. I even sat in the lobby for a while just observing, and it wasn't just me - the staff treated all guests this way. Aloof, uninterested, and uncaring. Hospitality is supposed to be about warmth and service, but here it felt like guests were an inconvenience. This hotel was the least accommodating, least hospitable, and least welcoming of my entire trip, and it wasn't even close. Ireland is known for its friendliness and warmth - but you will not find it here. Do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else. I strongly do not recommend the Gibson Hotel.

There's stains on the carpet of our room and we couldn't check in at 2:15pm so instead we came back after 3 and it took 20 min to check in because the line was so long. The breakfast here overall is just really bad I had to spit half of it out and I'm not even a picky eater. Service was okay so that's why it gets 2 stars. And so far away from the city :(

Wasn't too sure of staying in a B&B, (if I'm travelling alone I usually prefer to stay in a hotel) but after a quick glance at the trip advisor reviews on this place I was sold! So glad I booked here. The couple who run the B&B, Bill and Kathleen couldn't have been more hospitable or welcoming, Bill even going so far as to mark the right bus routes and their stops to and from town on my map for me! Helpful for someone who has a sense of direction like a drunk compass! Pots of tea and glorious irish banter were freely offered at any point in the day you happened to be around, which is always gonna get anyone on my good side! The room I stayed in had obviously been freshly cleaned, sparse but functional and the bed was clean & comfy, I wasn't too fussed about anything else! Only small gripe was that if you stay in the single room as I was, you have sole use of the main bathroom sure, but it's along the corridor a bit from your room...which can leave you feeling a bit awkward if you're not a sociable morning type (disclaimer: I am definitely NOT). The other rooms, all doubles, come with their own ensuite bathrooms. Breakfasts were plentiful and damn good. Choices of cereal were offered before the main event...the full Irish. I don't eat cooked breakfasts much, but these really were excellent. Breakfast served at a time of your choosing that fills you to the gills and sorts you out to take on Dublin and all the Guinness and writers geekery she offers? What's not to love! Howth Road is a main road into Dublin city centre, with bus stops right outside the Annally taking you in, and the one directly opposite being your return point. Journey takes about 15-20 minutes either way and the fare was less than €3! As someone who gripes pretty regularly about public transport here, all I can say is, Dunlin buses could chew First up and spit out the bones in terms of the service offered! Next time I'm back in Dublin, I'd definitely stay here, great room rates, great breakfasts and ran by a fantastic couple who go above and beyond for their guests!
