Trinity college is right around the corner and local restaurants, bars and museums . Simon (front desk staff) was very kind and amicable , he gave some good recommendations for late night food. Although the fish and chips at The Alex restaurant were delicious, I would stay clear of dining in the hotel. The bar and management of the restaurant were very short and rude . Simon was very kind to suggest an alternative of taking our dinner in the comfort of our room . Room service staff were very kind.

A great location in Dublin on a quiet street. Great beds & large room. Great friendly staff. Really recommend a stay at The Alex, just avoid the restaurant & the wine list which is mich below the quality you’d expect from this hotel!
