We had such a wonderful stay here. The staff was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The charm, character and history of the hotel are great. It is very clean and comfortable with a delicious breakfast buffet. The beautiful park is right across the street along with many restaurants, shops and things to do. The location is great as well. The gym and pool are also very well kept and have everything you need for a workout while on holiday.

Beautiful hotel and friendly staff. The hallways are narrow and the ceilings on the guest floors are low, which is fine as it's truly an old and historic hotel. The hallways were too warm for me, however, and the scent they pump in to the lobby and reception area is way too strong. The reception, room service, cleaning service, and luggage handlers were all wonderful. There were always guys dressed to the nines standing by the doors talking to each other. I don't know if that was their job or if they're there to greet and help push the door open, but I always seemed to sneak by them without a greeting as they were busy in conversation with each other. The food was good, but it can be challenging to get coffee during busy check out times. We were given free fudge for our late coffee order so it didn't go unacknowledged. It's an expensive hotel which is reflected in the initial presentation, but I seriously would have been thrilled to find a Nespresso maker in my room, as opposed to the poor over tea bag coffee that was there. It's nice having St Stephen's Green right across the way for a beautiful nature walk whenever you want!

Came here a few days before Christmas for an afternoon tea. Really recommend it! There was so food. You can order extra sandwhiches as many as you like. The scones were one of the best I've tried in Dublin and the desserts were great too!

Is there anything better than an afternoon Christmas tea at the Shelbourne? Very pricey, but the quality of the small bites and the intimate service made it well worth it. Every tier of the stand contained standout: the scones, the chorizo sandwich, and the passion fruit pot. We were so impressed that we bought tea service certificates as a last minute gift.

The Shelbourne is located in the heart of Dublin, walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The lobby bar/restaurant offer more traditional pub food and drinks. The service is phenomenal and staff is exceptional. There is a small fitness center with great equipment, as well as a spa.
