The Alex
41-47 Fenian Street, D2 Dublin, Ireland – Excellent location – show map
This comfortable hotel is conveniently located, away from the traffic, but still within easy walking distance to the very heart of Dublin. As long as one is in the mood for a full Irish/English breakfast, the offer is just fine. When, after three consecutive mornings of that heavy fare I felt like something different for my last breakfast, it became quite apparent that there is not much else to feed on. Some honey comb but no real honey, a limited bread selection, no waffles, no (edible) cakes, nothing made-to-order at all, and only a very small fruit selection (with some good Irish yogurt, though). And there is no `special,' ... instead, everything repeats in something of a groundhog-day experience. Apart from that noticeable breakfast monotonicity no complaints at all.
The 4-star design hotel is located in Dublin city center, steps away from the National Gallery, Trinity College and 2297 ft from the shops of Grafton Street. It features bedrooms with private bathrooms, 24-hour gym access, and a stylish restaurant with a private dining area. All the rooms are fully air-conditioned and feature especially designed furniture, smart TVs with Chromecast, free WiFi and international electrical outlets. Guests at The Alex can enjoy a buffet breakfast as well as the barista café Steam. The restaurant is specialized in international dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients while the cocktail bar offers a wide selection of both international and signature drinks. The Alex also has 24-hour room service, access to a gym with the state-of-the-art equipment and a ground floor open space work hub with free WiFi and both standard and USB charging points. The hotel is less than 984 ft away from the gardens in Merrion Square and Dublin Airport is 6.2 mi away.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
