Want to stay in Dublin?. This is the one.
Clean,modern and classy hotel, walkable to all the fun, but quietly tucked on a quiet safe street. Only got a day or two in the city? This is a great spot. Rooms large, fresh and clean, lovely and well appointed bathrooms. They’ll be glad you picked it.

Great rooms & friendly staff
A great location in Dublin on a quiet street. Great beds & large room. Great friendly staff. Really recommend a stay at The Alex, just avoid the restaurant & the wine list which is mich below the quality you’d expect from this hotel!
