The lobby is a great space to relax or get some work done, with excellent coffee too. The 24/7 gym is another real bonus. Everything you need for a comfortable and convenient stay in Dublin. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again!"

The Gibson Hotel Dublin City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel located right across from the 3Arena and very practical if you are going to a concert there. Also close to the Luas tram so it is very easy to get into the center of Dublin. Staff was very friendly and helpful ( gave us clear directions to the Dublin express bus to the airport). Very comfortable, spacious and immaculate rooms. Did not have breakfast or meals there so I cannot comment on that."
