"Exceptional experience! One of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in."
Our room was on the 8th floor and was oversized with a king bed. The accommodations were excellent and the staff of the Shelbourne were superior in customer service. The location of the Shelbourne is perfect and easy to navigate from. When we visit Dublin again, we will be staying at the Shelbourne.

"A very comfortable hotel with super-helpful staff and fabulous food."
This was the perfect choice for us as the location is ideal. We were able to walk to the theatres, Temple Bar and had no need of taxis to do all we wanted to. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything you need is provided in the room. We were hosting a lunch for family and although when it got to 5pm we realised we were the only ones left in the restaurant, we had been oblivious, the staff are so cheery and polite. This is our number one choice for a Dublin visit.

"One word.... AMAZING"
We stayed in the shelbourne dublin and we throughly enjoyed it! It is the most beautiful hotel, fantastic location, really central to city centre. Each and every member of staff were extremely helpful and professional without being stuffy. Our room was beautiful and the bed was so comfortable I missed my breakfast so I could stay in bed for an extra few hours! Would highly recommend and would be high on my list of places to return too in the very near future.

"will always be a lovely place to stay but ...."
busy weekend I know...after all Robbie Williams came to town! I`ve stayed a couple of times before but was disappointed that breakfast wasn`t available at 10.15. When we were called for breakfast, we weren`t offered coffee or tea and had to ask after I had my continental breakfast. There was no milk in the milk jug so had to wait again until your staff reappeared. No salt cellar on the table..scrabbled eggs were lovely but I always need extra salt...2 peppers instead. NOT what I expected for my daughter`s long awaited 18th birthday celebrations .Regards Maryna Wylie

"The Shelbourne has it all."
Recently we stayed on a family break over the Easter holidays at the Shelbourne . Our expections were high before arriving as this was our first time staying at this famous hotel and we were not left dissapointed .Our room was what we had booked and expected, the staff could not be more helpful or accomodating and the whole experience was very enjoyable as you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

"Wonderful Customer Service "
We were staying at the Shelbourne as part of a birthday celebration for my brother and the hotel really pulled out the stops for him with his room was upgraded to a suite. Apart from that the service was supberb. Nothing was too much trouble whether it was waiting staff or the concierge. The staff at the check in desk really deserve special mention as they were so welcoming, pleasant and helpful. It was Moira who dealt with us and she was terrific. No matter how busy it got they were unruffled. Our Delux King was exactly as described and absolutely perfect. It goes without saying that we will stay there again.

"A very pleasent experience!"
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Shelbourne Hotel this past weekend and really enjoyed our stay there. The staff were very friendly and very efficient, helpful and professional. I haven`t experienced such a high standard of service in many years so a big thank you to all the staff. The room was really nice and very confortable. The breakfast both mornings was delicious and what a choice! The hotel was very busy and this is would be my only critisim of the hotel on my part - on both evening we found it difficult to get a seat in the bars and had to stand around with our drinks until someone left a seat. The first morning we had to sit in the bar area for our breakfast and the second morning wait in a side room for about 15 minutes to get a table for breakfast. But overall found it to be an amazing hotel, lovely staff and great food which I feel justified the cost of the stay. Hope to stay there again in the future.

"Wonderful experience!"
Staying at the Shelbourne hotel over the St Patricks weekend celebrations was a wonderful experience. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are beautifully furnished and comfortable. ALL the staff were so helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was amazing with such a huge choice of food and if you didn`t want the buffet food they will cook you something of your choice. There are great bars and restaurants and also a wonderful room where you can have have afternoon tea. We would definitely stay there again - we couldn`t fault it!

"Staff excellent, very friendly and helpful. Room comfortable. "
Unfortunately we had no hot water on Monday, I reported it to the desk and when we returned from dinner, it was still cold. In the morning it was hot. Dont know if this was a problem overall. A strange smell in the bar. Lovely afternoon tea and staff couldnt have been more helpful. I would go back again.

"Shelbourne experience"
Drove down from Northern Ireland for the rugby match on Sunday. Hotel was buzzing, the Irish team were staying and left from the Shelbourne to travel to the Aviva. Even though it was so busy and lots of excited fans around the staff were very professional and friendly treating all guests equally well. The hotel is in someways like stepping back to an elegance that lots of hotels sadly lack. I think the Shelbourne has it just right and their staff are their trump card! My only regret was that we only stayed one night, but will definitely return.

"A busy metropolitan hotel in Dublin"
Despite the chill outside we found this to be a warm and welcoming hotel. Rather a walk to our bedroom- but worth it for the fine furnishings and facilities therein. A very quiet place - upstairs. Downstairs there were hordes of people. We would have liked a place where only residents could sit at peace. Both bars were full- mainly with outsiders. The sitting room was used for pre-booked afternoon teas. As residents we were unable to secure a booking for an evening meal.We had to go out `hunting`. Excellent breakfast, lovely staff and would return.Even better pleased if there was a guarantee of a seat downstairs and a warning to pre-book dinner!

We have been lucky enough to stay in some great hotels in our travels but The Shelbourne is truly exceptional. We normally manage to find one or two things to recommend improving but not in this case. A perfect stay in a delightful hotel. Well done!

"Small rooms"
There was a gap under the door so the light from the hallway shone through all night. The pillows are too thick (2 options but both the same). Slept badly.
