Nice staff and modern clean hotel. However, I was very frustrated with the amenities as they had no conditioner and when we asked for some they said they were in between switching brands?!? Ambience was missing as the hotel was very empty. My brother was staying at their sister hotel The Green much greater vibe and more central to things. They also had no conditioner lol

Right in the middle of everything. Really good morning buffet to get us energized for all of the site-seeing. It is also near a train station that got us to the outskirts of Dublin.

The Alex is a gem! The location is near Trinity College and beautiful St. Stephen's Green - great neighborhood! But truly, it is not far from any place that you'd like to walk to in the city. The room is well-appointed, the shower is especially exceptional, and the gym (shared with two other properties) is a full workout facility (RARE in Dublin!). We would go back in a heartbeat.
