The Spencer - Dublin

Not to our taste. This hotel was deliberately stark...all minimalist, grey and modern. The bar was open to the lobby with music too loud for a lobby check-in area. There was a smell reminiscent of cheap car fresheners.

Service not great, A/C didn't work three of four days, mens restroom not clean, nice bar area, breakfast ok

I was disappointed in this hotel to be frank. For the cost I expected a lot more . It was a ride away from the centre of Dublin 2 stops on the Luas and I expected from the description it was much more central . The room was just ok . No fridge , measly portions of tea / coffee and a rubbish hairdryer - more like what you would expect at a travel lodge .I had asked for a river view in advance of the stay and was disappointed not to get one and yet the hotel was full of people on conferences , maybe they had been given priority. The staff were very friendly and polite but that meant they were good at saying no politely . the manager gave me duff information about the bus to the airport which could have resulted in a disaster had I not double checked it and found it to be incorrect . I wouldn't stay here again , 3 nights cost around £700 way way overpriced . On the plus side the beds were comfy.

Rooms were gorgeous, and the view felt like a NYC penthouse... All windows and luxury. My favorite hotel in Dublin, to date!

Very friendly staff. We were greeted right away and service was attentive throughout our stay at The Spencer. We arrived quite awhile before our scheduled check in time, and the staff offered to stow away our bags while we explored the city. When we did check in, we received an unprompted upgrade! The bed was very big and comfortable, and the room was quiet and easily temperature regulated. Very clean and modern finishes throughout the common areas, as well as the room. Located in a quiet neighborhood in the financial district, yet very walkable to all major Dublin attractions. The gym facilities are also very nice. Great overall hotel for the price!
