Reviews and Ratings
My stay at The Shelbourne was an very nice experience overall, but I encountered a few hiccups. The hotel is steeped in historic charm, and the staff's warm service made me feel genuinely welcomed. However, I did find some areas crowded during peak times, which made it challenging to enjoy the bars and common spaces as much as I'd hoped.
My stay at The Shelbourne was an exquisite experience, marked by its charming ambiance and really good customer service. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, always ready to help. However, I did encounter some hiccups with room access upon arrival and navigating the maze-like hallways, which took some time. Overall, the luxurious amenities and good dining options made it a nice stay, despite a few minor challenges.
My stay at The Shelbourne was nice for its central location and stunning historical charm, though I did encounter some challenges. The luxurious decor and comfortable rooms were definitely highlights, but the construction work impacted the overall experience.

I had a good stay at The Shelbourne. the really good service and luxurious amenities truly stand out. My room was beautifully appointed, blending historic charm with modern comforts, though I struggled a bit with the shower setup. the pressure could have been better. The dining options, especially breakfast and afternoon tea, were fantastic, giving me a taste of culinary excellence. the only downside was the temperature in common areas, which felt a bit chilly at times.
My recent stay at The Shelbourne in Dublin was a mixed bag. The hotel has a amazing historic charm and a prime location across from St. Stephen's Green, which made exploring the city easy. However, I faced some issues during my stay, particularly with the service at breakfast and the handling of our guests' accommodations, which left me feeling somewhat frustrated. While the food quality was impressive, the overall experience was marred by these lapses in service.
