Staff were very friendly and attentive, buffet breakfast was very enjoyable. Room was a little small but spotlessly clean. The view was non-existent, as to be expected due to its location. Would stay here again.

Nice new hotel with good breakfast and clean rooms. Did not like the Lino on the bedroom floors which was the same as in the corridors. Very uncomfortable. North of the Liffey is definitely the poorer side of Dublin so walk straight down O’Connell street to the river rather than use side streets. Housekeeping took my wife’s personal towel one day on towel change (which they did every day - no environmental concern here) and although it was reported I received no follow up and when I next rang reception I received a complete uninterested response from reception. Poor.

The staff was great, rooms were clean and the breakfast was plentiful! Parking was fairly simple for a city center hotel but definitely needed a bit of direction. Great location, we were able to walk to most of what we wanted to see!

Great hotel and location
From entering the hotel, there was a welcoming atmosphere. Reception staff were friendly and efficient. Staff will approach and ask if assistance is needed. My room, on the fifth floor, was well-appointed and very clean and comfortable. Tea/coffee-making facility was available in room, as was ironing board. The breakfast selection was very good; again, staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is centrally located for shopping and dining; great for walking or there is public transport outside the hotel door. I would highly recommend a stay in Riu Plaza, the Gresham.

I stayed at the Riu Plaza The Gresham for three nights with my partner. The location was perfect - a 5-10 min walk to the river and a few more minutes for the Temple Bar area. 10-15 mins to the express bus stop for Dublin Airport. The hotel itself is very well presented and clean, the buffet breakfast had good quality offerings and a selection of choice for all tastes and preferences. Staff were professional, helpful and friendly. The check-in/check-out process was very smooth. We did make one request from the concierge which was not fulfilled and felt awkward asking again so just left it, but outside of that, everything went well.

Fabulous! Friendly helpful check-in staff. Room was available from 9am - we only arrived to ask to store our luggage until check-in but we were able to have room access straight away. Fantastic facilities, lovely room with a super comfy bed and excellent bathroom. Breakfast plentiful & delicious. We will return, thank you!

The rooms are fairly nice and clean. There is a breakfast buffet that was included, which was really nice. There is no parking and no way to park briefly and check in. This hotel is incredibly loud. I think part of it was clientele, but primarily the doors for the rooms naturally slam. There is a gap between the floor and the doors to the rooms as well. We were waking up all night from people going in and out of their rooms. Very loud overall.

Good hotel with one huge disadvantage.
Nice room, nice bed, good breakfast (although very busy around the weekend) and bad sleep. When people walk or talk in the corridor, it sounds like they are in your room and wake you up. When it's dark, you can see light coming in all around the door. It's a pity for an otherwise very good hotel.
