The Spencer

Upon checking in , we were put in a room on the first floor , room was furthest from the elevator and right next to construction. Was old and dingy and no view. Was very loud. When we asked to move , we were moved to a much nicer, renovated room on the 7th floor with a view. Not sure why we received the worst room in the hotel to start with but very insulting

Had booked a Premium Room online and was checked in to a Family Room with a Broken double bed. Spoke to Duty Manager who came up to the room and was implying the hotel was fully booked and was suggesting squeezing the 2 single beds together! I wasn't having it and advised the Manager that we needed to be moved to a different room by the time we retue

I may have hit the Spencer on the proverbial "bad day." While it's easy to see that some of the public spaces need to be "freshened up," it was also obvious that they're working on it. My main complaint is that there wasn't sufficient hot water for my morning shower. Front desk personnel were friendly and it's nice that the airport bus stops right in front.

Neat location in the “Silicon Docks” area of Dublin. Super convenient to be able to catch the airport bus right outside the hotel.

I have traveled, at least annually, to the UK for the last twenty years. I have hated traveling through Heathrow for a UK connection and revisited Dublin. DUB is compact and easy to navigate. Left luggage was easy and the bus service from DUB dropped and collected me from right outside the Spencer. The room was well equipped and clean, bar friendly and fitness options and pool amazing. Adding the fantastic breakfast, I only wish my layover was more than 14 hours so I could stay longer. I have decided that DUB is my route to the UK and next time the Spencer will be for a couple of nights!
