Iconic landmark, lousy service with zero hospitality

Nice hotel, living in its reputation

Had a lovely stay over St Patrick's weekend at the iconic Shelbourne. However more actual attention to customers rather than lip service is required. At breakfast we were welcomed by at least six staff members; however I had to ask for my coffee and tea. When it arrived it was...

Elegance and Class in the city

Beautiful hotel with great attention to detail! I felt like it was true to its roots of being the first hotel in Dublin yet upgraded to keep up with the times. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The sheets were so elegant. I highly recommend the Shelbourne!


Destination in Dublin

“Room was spacious and well appointed. I could plug in the hairdryer by the dresser and use it. It would have been better to have a plug in the bathroom however we understand there is an Irish rule preventing that which probably predates the current updated electronics. View was good...
