To be fair, , we were the last people to check in that night, but when we reached room 774, we were amazed to see the smallest room that I have ever been in.... anywhere. There was a queen size bed that you could barely walk around with one lamp and that was the lighting for the entire room! When... more

Wow, it's a lovely hotel, the bedroom was gorgeous and a spacious bathroom. But more than that, the staff were just so welcoming and nice and focused on you as the guest in a very pleasant and non-fussy way. more

The communal areas inthe Shelbourne have been beautifully refurbished but the size of the bathroom in the standard room and also judging by the listed measurements of superior rooms leave a lot to be desired !The bathroom in a travelodge is bigger. One always worries when one sees a sliding door into the bathroom-----it obviously is a space saving device... more

This was my second stay at the Shelbourne and I am pleased to be able to report that as I was as happy this time around as my first time. Although we had a standard room, unlike the first time where we had been upgraded, I think the size of the room was as expected for a standard room. Our... more

We arrived in Dubin after an overnight flight from Chicago and took the AirCoach bus (12 Euros r/t) to a stop about a block from the hotel. Even at 10am,the hotel gave us our room. This place reaks of Irish history and I was felt honored to spend one night there. The location across from St Stephen's Green was nice... more

As the Shelbourne is an Irish institution, it was nice to stay there once! We were going to an event there so booked a standard room. The room was TINY! We had to get ready one at a time cos it was so small, we were tripping each other up. The bathroom was like a broom closet. The room was... more

We decided to treat ourselves to a night in a luxury hotel before heading out to the countryside of Ireland and the Shelbourne exceeded all our expectations. The moment we arrived, the porter took our bags outside the hotel. The check-in area is located off to the side and the hostess at the restaraunt personally walked us over rather than... more

Best location in dublin, right on Stephens green and within walking distance of many great restaurants. Restaurant is good and bar is very good, Lee in the bar is a really great cheerful person. Rooms are ok, just refurbished but no way up to the standard of Four Seasons , Ritz Carlton or the g in Galway. If they spent... more

Spent the recent bank holiday weekend at the Shelbourne. We thought it was a really lovely, traditional high quality hotel. The room was v ery spacious and well appointed, the location of the hotel would be hard to beat and staff were a perfect combination of efficient and friendly. The main bar in the hotel on all three nights was... more

Enjoyed a 3-night break at The Shelbourne during May. Had high hopes and weren't disappointed! We were able to reserve a 1-bedroom suite at a very reasonable price, which included access to the Heritage Lounge and included breakfast. Beautiful room with a view over St Stephen's Green. Very friendly, helpful, staff and everything was spotlessly clean. We had our wedding... more
