The Alex is a Hotel in City Centre Dublin, set in the middle of Dublin with easy access to the National Gallery, Trinity College, and the shops around Grafton Street. Merrion Square gardens are also close by, so the address keeps you within the city’s cultural core while still feeling practical for a stay built around walking, meeting, and moving through the day at an easy pace. From the first step outside, the location places some of Dublin’s most familiar anchors within reach. Inside, the rooms are designed for a comfortable city stay, with private bathrooms, full air conditioning, smart TVs with Chromecast, free WiFi, and international electrical outlets. The design-led furnishings give each room a polished, modern feel, while the setup works smoothly for both a short visit and a longer stay. Where available, the amenities also support a more settled rhythm, with laundry, internet, TV, and child-friendly features among the hotel offerings. The building adds useful everyday ease with a 24-hour gym, a ground floor work hub with free WiFi and charging points, and a restaurant that serves international dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can also start the day with buffet breakfast, stop into the barista café Steam, or wind down with drinks at the cocktail bar. Parking and an EV charge station add another practical layer for travelers arriving by car, while 24-hour room service and guest services help the stay run smoothly. In City Centre Dublin, The Alex keeps the pace urban and straightforward, with the city’s galleries, college streets, and shopping corridors close enough to shape the day without complication. It feels considered, central, and easy to return to after time out in Dublin.

The Alex looked as equally beautiful on the outside as it did on the inside. The decor was classy and welcoming. The staff were polite and friendly. They asked us the usual questions when checking in - where are you from, is it your first time, what are your plans etc but they genuinely looked like they were interested. We were given a complementary upgrade at check in which was a bath robe & slipper. This just added to the wonderful experience we had. I don’t know whether this is a usual thing or if it was because we checked in on Valentine’s Day?
The rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated, the bed was comfy and the food in the restaurant (breakfast) was gorgeous with something for everyone and very reasonably priced.
I would definitely go again and I would definitely recommend The Alex to anyone.
Negative:
Everything was amazing.
Summary: A magical experience
