The Spencer Hotel & Spa

Visiting from the states and this hotel was perfect. Our room was ready early, very clean and nice. The location is great for walking into the city or catching public transportation. The restaurant and bar are also excellent. The front desk is very helpful with questions. We traveled around Ireland for over a week and decided to rebook this hotel when we returned to Dublin. If you’re out for a late night, order a pizza to the room and enjoy! Both of our stays were wonderful!

Nice hotel in the heart of Dublin city. Staff were lovely, bed was super comfy and was very appreciative of the blackout curtains. My one issue was the room tv needs an upgrade, something that can be streamed to, or has the apps. Bath was fantastic! Food and breakfast were delicious. Would recommend.Rooms: 4/5

The view would have been beautiful except for the MAJOR construction project right next door. So...I could not sit out on the balcony as there are constructions works right next to us banging and hammering within feet of our room. We couldn't open the outside door and the noise from the construction sucked. The service and staff were excellent that is why it has more than one star. Wish we would have know before we booked. Extremely Disappointed.

Plenty of good things to say about the Spencer Hotel. The rooms were nice, the location very convenient to everything the Red LUAS Mayor St. stop is literally a one-minute walk across the plaza. The Dublin Express 784 airport bus stops almost in front of the hotel. And it was quiet. We were there then Ireland beat S. Africa in Rugby and didn't hear a thing. Overall a fine place to stay.

The bedrooms were really comfortable, well appointed. The housekeeping staff and reception staff were incredibly welcoming. HOWEVER - probably one of the worst hotel breakfasts I’ve ever experienced, which is letting the whole hotel down. Huge queues, not enough space, panicked opening of extra tables, not opening for breakfast until 8am when there’s a conference next door starting at 8:30am. The quality of the food was really poor also. Such a shame, let’s the hotel down badly.

Fantastic location, 20 minutes walk from Temple Bar and 10 from the train station. Stagg- from the front desk to the cleaners to the cocktail bar, everyone said hello and were very friendly. Lovely comfortable room with restaurants and shops nearby. Would definitely stay again! Walkability: Right on the river so easy to find and walk to various attractions in Dublin.

I recently stayed at this hotel to attend a congress, and I had an overall pleasant experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and the amenities were great. I would have happily given it a 5-star rating. Moreover, the location is excellent, which made it convenient for me to access the congress venue and nearby attractions. However, my checkout experience with the receptionist I don't want to mention the name because I don't want to harm anyone was disappointing. Was rude and unprofessional, which left a negative impression on an otherwise enjoyable stay. I hope the management addresses this issue because it marred an otherwise excellent visit.

Great spot for a brief overnight stay in Dublin between connecting flights. Close enough to the centre to easily check out Trinity College, Grafton Street and Temple Bar, but just far enough away for a nice quiet sleep. Very courteous staff, good amenities, and well done to the bar staff for managing a wild night after the All-Ireland football final. Thoroughly enjoyed learning all about Gaelic football rules at the bar.

Stayed here for two nights. The me checking in had forgotten that past me had booked a junior suite, so that was a delightful surprise - and excellent value as it was around the same price as a deluxe king room at other hotels at the time I booked. The suite appeared to have been newly fitted out and was very spacious, with a nice balcony overlooking the river. We ate in the East restaurant both nights. On the first occasion, our order got lost in the system, so we waited a long time for food, but our drinks were comped and the food was excellent - worth waiting for. Vegetarian options were OK, but would have preferred more choice - I ended up ordering the same dish both nights. However, at breakfast, we were delighted with the vegan cooked breakfast option ordered from the menu, not on the buffet, but included in the price. The leisure club is excellent, the gym particularly so - barbells, power racks, plenty of plates and benches, lots of resistance machines and cardio stuff. Only gripe was that like many hotel gyms in Ireland lockers need your own padlock and there is no swimsuit drying machine. The pool isn't huge, but it's clean and long enough to get decent lengths in. Nearby activities: The Epic museum about Irish emigration is less than a five minute walk away and worth a visit. Walkability: Close enough to all city centre attractions to be able to walk everywhere.

We were treated so nicely by friendly staff. Lovely clean and modern rooms. Plenty of fluffy white towels. Amazing Rituals products in bathroom. This hotel in a great location for attending concerts at the 3Arena and/or hop on the Luas into town for some shopping. We will definitely be back.Rooms: 5/5
