The Gibson Hotel

We recently stayed at the hotel as we had an early morning appointment in Dublin and the weather was promised bad for travelling up to Dublin early in the morning. We arrived to check in late circa 11:30pm and checked in. We were not allowed to check in without ID, (which we didn’t have, but eventually found a photo on our phone). The reception area was freezing, our room was worse. Cranked up the heat, and went to bar to wait for room to warm up, an hour later our room was still only at 13.5 degrees. Should have complained at the time, but was after working a 13 hour shift followed by a 4.5 hour drive to Dublin, we were wrecked and had an early start so we just suffered it and went to bed! We mentioned it the following morning on checkout and the hotel were very apologetic, and gave us complementary parking, but the entire hotel was cold, even the bar. The hotel apart from this was good, room was a bit dirty, sort of wear and tear dirt and stains on walls, floor etc. the walls were paper thin, could hear our neighbours talking clearly, and lots of noise from people coming back from the bar following a show in the 3 Arena in the hall outside our room. Location is really handy, but I’ve stayed in much better hotels in the same area, that had working heat, and didn’t need to find ID to check in.

I had a great stay at the hotel and I must admit that the reception team made total difference, I went to several places that day and NOBODY smiled and wished me happy new year, I checked in kinda late on the Gibson must be around 8PM and the lobby seemed empty, so three of the receptionist seemed to be looking at something in one of the computers and the three of them looked at me and smiled and warmly welcomed me, I swear I’d be very mad to be working at this time but those folks seemed genuinely happy that I was checking in at the Gibson hotel, I have no words to describe how that made a difference in my last night of the year. After checking us in the man said happy new year to us followed to the girls at the reception. Thanks the Gibson for the amazing stay ! The bar was also amazing that night, even tho it was busy the guys there did a great job, my last stay of the year turned out to be just the best.

I joined the bar for the nye night and the staff was absolutely lovely. Patrick was very nice, welcomed us and brought us two amazing pornostar martini! Highly recommended when you are in Dublin!

The service was excellent, the attendant Patrick was very cordial and provided excellent treatment; nothing was lacking. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it for a date or a night out with friends.

I had a really good experience at Gibson Hotel. Patrick from the restaurant, was super nice, kind and helpful with us. Thanks all.
