The Gresham was ideally located for exploring Dublin on foot or by public transportation. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner in Toddy’s restaurant at the hotel with excellent service. All staff we encountered were professional and pleasant. Great property!!

The hotel is in the centre of everything on O'Connell Street and directly opposite a Luas stop and also plenty of buses and yet the hotel is quiet. Comfortable modern rooms and nice bar area with pleasant and helpful staff.
