Unfortunately we only had one night at the Shelbourne. It was at the end of our tour of Ireland and I chose this hotel because we had tickets to see Riverdance at the Gaiety and it was right down the street. The room was perfect, we had a junior suite for 3 of us. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was great.... more

Stayed at the Shelbourne for 2 nights with the family on a weekend break. Liked the hotel, personnel was friendly, had dinner in the Saddle Room, which was OK. I would actually recommend a small French restaurant just down the street over Saddle room. The hotel is a major tourist attraction (it is even being talked about at length on... more

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
