O'Callaghan Alexander - Dublin

In general seem to be really nice hotel with spacious room and good breakfast. However, the air conditioning was really noisy (had to turn it off), TV system is a bit annoying and location could have been a bit closer to the city centre.

The bathrooms need improvement. However, the main drawback for me was the lack of business center. You had to go accross to the Davenport and hope that no one was using the one computer they had. The O'Callaghan Stephen's Green was superior in every way.

Great hotel, great location.

One side of the bed was super soft and the other half was very firm.

Comfortable beds and very nicely decorated. The location is a bit far from most things.

3 Star.

This was my first trip to Ireland, so I booked this hotel based on my own research. LOCATION: I give the location of this hotel 5 out of 5 stars. The only time my fiance and I had to take a cab was to get to Heuston Train Station (and if we hadn't had our luggage with us, we probably would've walked there, too). We were EASILY able to walk EVERYWHERE from this hotel, AND it was in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. It is also just one block from where the airport bus drops off. CLEANLINESS: I am VERY finicky when it comes to hotel rooms, so I'd give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars. For what we were paying, I thought it could've been a bit nicer, however, that might just be because I didn't realize Dublin is so expensive. STAFF/HOSPITALITY: The hotel staff was super nice and very helpful. They made us reservations for a day tour and helped us plan our trip/itinerary to Kilkenny. I would give the staff a 4.5 out of 5 stars. In conclusion, I give this hotel a 4 out of 5 and would stay there again.

great, clean hotel. the restaurant has surprisingly good food. my only gripe is the staff. the housekeeping staff constantly entered my room despite the do not disturb sign.

Coming off the airplane and exhausted early in the morning from an overnight flight, we were able to check in early and go immediately to our hotel room which was quiet, comfortable and clean! The bed especially was very comfortable! The location by Merrion Square was excellent and centrally located so we could walk to many sites of interest. The staff was courteous and helpful, but not overly friendly. There was also a very nice lobby bar in the hotel! On the down side, the breakfast was very expensive and not included with the price of the room. I would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Dublin and would stay there again on a return visit.

The Hotel was walking distance to all of the city sites. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

The most impressive feature of the Hotel is the room size. Spacious, clean and bright with an enormous comfortable bed.

Excellent service. Very attractive, modern room decor and accessories.

Most everything about our stay was great. Like one of the other reviewers, the room seemed hot during bedtime. I think it's because they use one of these combo sheet/quilts so if you just want to sleep under a sheet, you're out of luck. It's a heavy warm quilt or nothing. Ran the A/C with 40 degree weather. Had only one meal, and good oatmeal breakfast and excellent coffee. Only a 2-minute short walk to Pearse Station for the DART. 5 minutes to Museums. I would recommend for families or singles.

This hotel rooms are clean, staff very helpful, friendly, very nicely located to all the sites by walking. Would definately stay here again.

I am a regular traveller to Dublin and always enjoy staying at the O'Callaghan hotels. The Alexander is a lovely place to stay, good condition, clean rooms, good service, nice bar. No complaints from me. These reviews can sometimes be very misleading, someone who experiences a problem at a particular hotel then condems the place on all counts. I would always recommend the Alexander and I am already booked up for my next visit.

This hotel is one of the better ones we stayed in during our visit to Ireland.

We had never been to Dublin and wanted a hotel that was within walking distance of the major sites. This was a great location ... a 10-minute walk to Trinity College and Grafton St. The staff was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. Also, the rates were very reasonable.

this hotel was perfectly central to everywhere we needed to go the room was extremely spacious and clean.The staff were very helpful and breakfast had options for every taste and need would highly recommend a stay here.

The hotel was close to all the main attractions, but yet far enough from all the noise. Nice, quiet area. Really clean hotel. Would definitely stay again. The only con was the breakfast was very pricey and not included with my room, best to eat at the local bistros or coffee shops.

This hotel was excellent in almost every way. Price, cleanliness, and staff were fantastic. The only negative thing I have to say is that the bed was too soft for my liking. If you need a firm bed, as I do, this is not the place to go to. After my stay my back was in pain. If that isn't applicable to you, I would stay there in a heartbeat!

I spent two weeks in February at the Alexander. The room was spacious--I did not feel cramped at all for all that time. The hotel was very quiet (except for a function one night). The staff was courteous and helpful. The location was great--I walked everywhere (and I have difficulty walking). I have stayed in other Dublin and Irish hotels that were way more expensive, and would choose the Alexander over all.

I spent the weekend O'Callaghan Alexander with 4 other people. All are rooms were clean and inviting. The hotel is with in walking distance to Grafton Street and all the major site seeing venues, but do bring flat shoes if you plan to walk. The bus to the airport is only a 15 minute walk from the hotel and is about 30 to 45 mins depending on the time of day you travel, or you can ask the hotel to book a taxi as they are very helpful indeed.

A very good value for money. Rooms are spacious, quiet, clean, and well-appointed. I appreciated the hair-dryer, 110 volt plug, and magnifying make-mirror in the bath. The bed was comfortable, and I enjoyed the duvet versus bedspread, blankets, etc. Friendly staff, willing to go a bit beyond the call of duty on guest requests. Well located for all the things I planned to do while in Dublin. A short walk to the National Library, and a reasonable walk to Grafton Street, Temple Bar area, etc. Good taxi availability, and just 1 1/2 blocks from the Aircoach stop on the to-Dublin route from the airport. Nice breakfast buffet, hot and cold items, or "tea & toast" if one prefers something lighter. Would definately return to O'Callaghan Alexander. A very good experience overall!

The O'Callaghan Alexander is just off the southeast corner of the Trinity College campus. It's a short walk to the Temple Bar area, 15 minutes south of Connolly Station and the main bus terminal, three minutes from Pearse DART, and around the corner from a hop on-hop off bus stop. In short, you can't beat the location. The staff are friendly, stamps are available at the front desk, and there's daily breakfast available beginning early and continuing until 10:30 a.m. The beds are very nice (but be aware that a king is actually two twin mattresses) and the towels are very soft and large bath sheets. In the rooms, you'll find plugs of the U.S., European, and U.K. varieties, which is very convenient. I highly recommend this hotel. It's a great value.

The room was so nice and big, I thought we had an upgrade but we didn't. The location seems kind of removed but it's really close to everything, 5 minute walk from Trinity and about 20 to the city center. It was great and I would stay again.

Great location, Great value fo money!!!

everything was great except the hotel bed, the mattress was uncomfortable (too soft).

The Alexander is a beautiful hotel the food is delicious, room service is fast, its about 15 walk to grafton street. Hotel staff are friendly. Room cleaned every day, massive really comfy beds, with pay movies, internet, and normal tv available. I couldn't fault this hotel.

Certainly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we checked in, the staff was friendly, experienced, helpful. Our room was very clean, spacious for our needs. Exceptional service,from every member of the staff. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Dublin.

Good location and friendly, helpful front desk staff. Seemed more like a hotel to stay in if you're traveling on business, but it was quiet, clean and comfortable.

The staff was the most welcoming and was always available

I think that everyone I know who stayed at the O'Callaghan Alexander would say the same thing. It's a very nice place to say but the service at the restaurant is abhorrent. I get that Europe moves slower than America and that I as a NY'er expect things much faster than most other places in the world provide, but this place was so bad you'd have to wait 15 minutes for a hot chocolate! And there wasn't even any more than 4-5 other tables there with 3 wait staff. That was the worst part of the whole hotel and if I do go back, I would be hard pressed to go there again.

I chose the hotel for its location, but it proved to be very good in all other respects as well. Maybe the breakfast buffet wasn't super-amazing, but it was good enough.

The hotel is in a very convenient location near Merrion Square, and represents reasonable value for Dublin. The room was attractive, comfortable and generally well appointed, though a fridge would have been useful. But the high tog duvets (13.5) were a little overwhelming, even for a cool damp September. There was a most unpleasant smell of stale urine on the hotel stairs, necessitating use of the lift even for access to the first floor. Service at Reception was regularly disappointing: cool, indifferent, never enthusiastic or friendly. Disappointingly, the concierge saw his role merely as leaflet distributor. But we would consider staying at the Alexander again - if the price was right.

Clean, recently renovated, Georgian Building, good location, breakfast menu could be improved for healthier options, Winners Bar menu needs more options, but food was well prepared, coffee is not good. A little noisy, as no double glazing.

Dublin is a fun city. The location of the hotel is convienant to many attractions. Overall, a nice hotel with helpfull front-desk attendants. I would absolutely stay there again, and recommend it to others.

We stayed at this hotel for a long weekend and it was fantastic. The bed was HUGE and the bathroom lovely and clean. We didn't sample the food but the restaurant looked very luxurious. I Guess if I had to have one complaint, the air conditioning was a bit loud, but we turned it off and were still cool enough!

Didn't have a room left for us so we were put up in their apartments which were well equipment and comfortable but it was 3 blocks farther out, in the pouring rain, away from friends.

Came to this hotel because the beds were supposed to be fantastic. Rooms very nice. Nice to have American plug. Beds to soft.

A good quality hotel with pleasant lounge and bar area though restaurant wasn't open in the evenings and the bar menu wasn't very tempting. Staff were very efficient and helpful. Room was large and very comfortable.

Would definately recommend this hotel. Not the cheapest but far from the most expensive. Clean comfy rooms and a 10-15min walk from Grafton St. So comfortably close to the hub. Quiet area - some pubs but certainly don't keep you awake at night. Breakfast ok, sl.expensive but a hot/cold buffet so you can certainly fill your boots!!!
