My wife and I spent two nights over New Year at the Spencer Hotel Dublin and really enjoyed our stay. We return to this hotel whenever we’re in Dublin, and it never disappoints. The hotel is modern, clean, and very well maintained, with spacious, nicely designed rooms that are always spotless. The spa is a huge bonus for us and one of the main reasons we keep coming back.

The location is ideal - close to the city centre, yet calm and relaxing. We would also like to compliment the excellent staff, especially Filip Zic, who was particularly friendly and helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Lovely hotel with really nice staff. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The only downside was the cold shower I had to take in the morning because they had an issue with the hot water.

Really great place, warm welcome, perfect service, right in the heart of the city. Rooms were really nice, unfortunately there was a heating problem in mine, but the hotel staff brought portable heaters immediately which solved the problem 😁. Another small remark - I guess it’s because it’s Ireland - everything was made for tall people and I am rather short 😁, so the shower handle was right against my shoulders, but aside from that it was all in all an awesome experience ! Cool bar, great breakfast, the restaurant is really nice too and the Dublin express that goes to the airport is actually right in front of the hotel.

Loved staying here so much we booked another nte. Great location. Lovely hotel with top facilities. Loved our balcony room with river view. Made it all the more special

Great hotel as this was next to the conference centre. The staff are friendly, really helpful and the breakfast is plentifull.

We had only one lift working for the first day or so and the call buttons on the upper floors for the lifts weren't working for a couple of days either which was a pain when you're on the 7th floor!

It was either a case of walking down or calling reception and they'll send the lift up to your floor. Hopefully that's been fixed by now.

It was a 20 minute walk from Temple Bar as well so nice and close.

The bar was good and there's a restaurant in the hotel as well.

I would happily stay here again for family trips or another business trip.

Very modern and clean. One of the few hotels in Dublin with swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and fully equipped gym. Lounge and bar are bery lively. Location is next to dublin airport express but about 15-20 mins walk from city. If have coin laundry, will be even better

Mr Insomnia, Is there a reason why your scones are cut in half??? To toast them you say? Or is it to salvage those stale dough balls? And anyway I don't want mine toasted. Tip: just cut them before toasting, leave the choice to your customers... and the scones will stay fresher longer. And.... any reason why your coffee always tastes burnt? Smokey flavour coffee beans you say?? I see.... aaaah you almost got me there!!! You know, Mr Insomnia, nobody minds paying for quality and good service. And you are lacking in both!!!piece of advice... look at what independent cafes are doing. You can learn a thing or two from them.

One of the best hot chocolates in Dublin. I love the hot chocolate & muffin (the berry one is the best!) deal

Excellent coffee and a good choice of sandwiches.

It's ok, great places to sit, and nice coffee. It could have been a great place to work with your laptop but, the WiFi connection is poor and slow. It's this BitBuzz annoying setup and then doesn't really go fast enough. I thought an IFSC branch would have a better connection to offer.
