We stayed at The Shelbourne with 2 children 12 and 7 years old. Our room was small but very nice. It had the BEST beds and a very nice and moden bathroom. Since you are out sightseeing all day a small room is ok. I prefer small and comfortable rather than large and not good quality. We had tea and... more

I stayed at the Shelbourne while in Dublin for a business trip. It's a very nice historic hotel that has modernized its rooms. One of the most frustrating items for me in European bathrooms is the partial glass wall as the enclosure for the shower, rather than a shower curtain or sliding door. My bathroom at the Shelbourne was great,... more

No doubt the location is excellent and the hotel does have nice features, especially the bedding. I reserved a deluxe parkview room with lounge acess--the best of the non suites. I did so based on the picture on the hotels website. Well, what do you know--the room assigned was not as pictured and when I complained, I was told that... more

Our stay was part of a birthday treat to for my husband who had worked really hard over the year and deserved a mini break. I upgraded to a deluxe room which was disappointing in size. It was in the new part of the hotel. The older rooms, from memory of a stay back in 2004, were bigger and much... more

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

Stayed here last year for 2 nights on my honeymoon. Very nice place, and teh location by St. Stephens Green is great. I definitely recommend it. more
