Very stylish. Clean, perfectly located hotel! Excellent comfy bed. Windows that open! hence the fresh air in the room, unlike some places where you are usually a hostage of smelly air conditioning. Delicious hot chocolate, coffee, free water bottles in the room daily supplied! Will stay again.
The Alex was in a great location within walking distance of many of the tourists attractions and pubs. The staff was fantastic! The Irish are so kind. The breakfast every morning had a variety of good selections. I would recommend a stay at this property.
The staff at the front desk were excellent. Patrick and Jason were especially helpful in answering our questions and making suggestions for things to see. Great location and very nice amenities.
