Superbly located on St Stephen's Green, within walking distance of most of the main tourist sights and many excellent restaurants. It has been superbly modernised, reatining the character of the older parts but adding modern convenience and comfort. It is decorated and furnished to an extremely high standard, creating a very luxurious atmoshphere. We stayed in the Eamonn de Valera... more

The Shelbourne is probably the most elegant hotel in Dublin, similar to New York's Plaza or Waldorf Astoria. We stayed here just one year after the complete renovation. The rooms were great, spacious and new in all amenities. However, the service was awful. Both hotelwise and in the restaurant. The Afternoon Tea was good value however service made it disappointing... more

I've just returned from Ireland which included a ten night stay at the Shelbourne in Dublin. I had requested the same room I had stayed in last year and it was ready and waiting for me upon arrival. There a few other less expensive and very tasty hotels in Dublin that would suit me fine but the Shelbourne is simply... more

Unfortunately we only had one night at the Shelbourne. It was at the end of our tour of Ireland and I chose this hotel because we had tickets to see Riverdance at the Gaiety and it was right down the street. The room was perfect, we had a junior suite for 3 of us. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was great.... more

I would actually recommend a small French restaurant just down the street over Saddle room. The hotel is a major tourist attraction (it is even being talked about at length on... more

To be fair, , we were the last people to check in that night, but when we reached room 774, we were amazed to see the smallest room that I have ever been in.... anywhere. There was a queen size bed that you could barely walk around with one lamp and that was the lighting for the entire room! When... more

Wow, it's a lovely hotel, the bedroom was gorgeous and a spacious bathroom. But more than that, the staff were just so welcoming and nice and focused on you as the guest in a very pleasant and non-fussy way. more

The communal areas inthe Shelbourne have been beautifully refurbished but the size of the bathroom in the standard room and also judging by the listed measurements of superior rooms leave a lot to be desired !The bathroom in a travelodge is bigger. One always worries when one sees a sliding door into the bathroom-----it obviously is a space saving device... more
