"Good, with a few issues"
The air conditioning in our room wasn`t working and the tracking on the car was out when we got it back from the valet. Very pleasant stay, just a few points.

"apart from having a room I am not sure what are the benefits if being a resident!"
On several occasions during our stay as a family of 6, we couldnt get a seat in restaurants or bar to eat o drink. It all felt very public. I met 3 people using the horseshoe bar who were staying in different hotels. Good for shelbourne but not for us!

"Unacceptable noise through the ceiling"
We would have enjoyed our stay at the Shelbourne but for the loud banging coming from the room above, which lasted until well in to the night and started very early in the morning. We complained directly to the hotel but did not get a satisfactory reply.

"Overall not as relaxing as I had expected"
Reception was excellent, bedroom comfortable. However the front of house consists of restuarants/bars with the aim of extracting cash at every turn.There did not appear to be anywhere just to relax, read etc without being expected to buy food or drink. The Lord Mayors lounge billed as the residents lounge was in use for afternoon teas exclusively. A poorly presented smoked salmon with inedible wheaten bread served on slate (out of keeping with 5* surroundings) was overpriced. Having visited the "Shelbourne" in the 60s it has lost much of it`s old world charm in the interests of modernisation.

"A fantastic short break at the Shelbourne Hotel."
Another great stay at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin. The staff were very friendly and couldn`t do enough for you. The room was refurbished and looked amazing and the breakfast was delicious. The invite by the Manager and Hotel Sales team for informal drinks and canapes made a great break all the more memorable. Loved every minute of our stay here. An exceptional hotel and can`t wait to go back. Excellent!

"An exceptional hotel that makes you feel like you`re royalty."
Definitely 5* quality and service. The staff were very helpful, friendly and thoughtful - when we mentioned it was our wedding anniversary, a plate was brought to our room with chocolates on it and "Happy Anniversary" wrote in chocolate - a wonderful touch. The décor was luxurious and the breakfasts were amazing.

"Fantastic"
The staff at the shelbourne couldn`t be more welcoming, from the doorman through reception to chamber maids. Nothing was too much trouble and all seemed to do their best to make our stay pleasurable. The room, facilities and pool in particular we`re excellent. Although we had booked on a discount package and, as tired parents of a toddler, hadn`t brought our finery, we were treated with the same courtesy and respect as other guests. I`m sure we`ll be back after such a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this hotel.

"Can`t wait to return"
Many years since previous visits. Really enjoyed our two night stay this week. First class service from beginning to end. Nothing is too much trouble. Temporary re routing from bedrooms due to refurbishment caused a little difficulty. Food at breakfast and dinner was beautiful but as ever it was the staff who made our visit such a happy and relaxing one. Hope to return in October.

"Fabulous hotel"
We have just had two nights here. The staff were all extremely helpful from every department and I could not fault their willingness to oblige our requests. The room was small but perfectly formed with everything you would need for a short stay. My only issue was with the noisy air conditioning during the night which constantly hummed. The breakfast was plentiful with good choice. The location is perfect with all attractions within an easy walk. I would defiantly stay here again using this website to get a great price as it was much cheaper than the hotel website.

"Funds available for guest that have unforeseen expenses."
Everything was world class, although due to my bank in the states freezing my debit card on Sunday , apparently they thought the debit card was being used fraudulently I was unable to access any cash from the hotel through my VISA CARD. I had an early Mondsy flight before my US bank opened to clear up error where I could access funds for taxi to airport in Dublin & then again in Amsterdam. I would suggest making available £100.00 to residents throught their VISA Card should it be required. This is just a thought that would have reduced the stress of finding alternative funding to complete my trip to Ameterdam! Thanks

"A Landmark Dublin hotel at the heart of the city"
The `Old Lady of the Green` aka the Shelbourne is one of Ireland`s leading hotels. It is situated right in the heart of the city on St. Stephen`s Green. It has all the facilities of a modern 5 star hotel and with perhaps an element of pretentiousness from staff and customers alike - but then it is an iconic place. I`ve stayed both in a standard and superior room and they are both very comfortable. Wifi is free and the breakfast is excellent - however if seated in the bar for breakfast make sure to checkout the main breakfast area for more options which were not available in the bar area. Pre-theatre meals in the Saddle Room are reasonable value and very tasty. The spa and pool are superb and excellent for a city hotel. All in all a real treat and something for everyone`s bucket list.

"Great place to stay in the city centre"
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave us a room upgrade to a lovely room overlooking St Stephen`s Green. One snag is the check in is after 3pm due to the late check out time of 12pm. We were there for our son`s wedding at 3.30 which meant there was nowhere to get ready for the guests, except the leisure centre. Luckily we stayed the night before and they gave us the bigger room so family could use it to get changed. The room was full of people ironing shirts at one point! They did get their rooms about 2.30 in the end. The breakfasts were wonderfu!

"Classy and modern luxury hotel with historical background"
This hotel is superb. It`s location on St Stephen`s Green makes it perfect for exploring Dublin with many restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. The park area is also a perfect oasis in the middle of a busy city with a great playground to keep little ones amused. The service is what you would expect from a 5 star hotel, the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. My only one small crticism would be the beds in our family room were a bit on the small size and the mattress sagged in the middle which meant you ended up trying to hold on to the edge of the bed to stop yourselves rolling into the middle. Having stayed in 5* hotels in the past, the family room is definitely not up to that standard in my opinion.

"Excellent 5Star Hotel."
I recently stopped at The Waldorf Astoria New York which is considered top 5 star hotel.. However I rate The Shelbourne hotel Dublin much higher.. Could not fault a thing. Beautiful hotel.. Staff were very professional/ attentive! I definitely will stay here on my next trip to Dublin! X
