The Gibson Hotel

Extremely disappointing experience. My fiancée and I were in our room when someone knocked on the door. Before we had even had a chance to get up, the knocking became increasingly loud and frantic. As we made our way to the door, we shouted, “Just a second,” only for a member of hotel staff to use a key card and let themselves straight into our room. Given the recent Travelodge scandal, you would think the hotel would be particularly conscious of the importance of guest privacy and personal space. Having a member of staff attempt to enter our room without giving us a reasonable opportunity to answer was a serious invasion of privacy and, quite frankly, quite frightening. This experience has completely put us off staying here again, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. To make matters worse, the hotel is significantly overpriced for what it offers. In my opinion, the quality is below that of a Premier Inn, yet the price is almost double. A thoroughly disappointing stay, made considerably worse by an incident that left us feeling uncomfortable and unsafe in our own room.

Modern, Busy & Handy for the 3Arena - But Lacks Warmth* Stayed at The Gibson recently. It's a very modern hotel and very busy. Large spaces are taken up by escalators and flash lighting - almost feels like a conveyor belt for human accommodation. Some nice touches though - some nice art on the walls, including Louie LeBroc. Room was clean and surprisingly had both a shower and a bath. Comfortable bed, TV and WiFi all fine. Restaurant has comfortable seating and is spacious. Had the steak sandwich which was overly expensive for what was on the plate. Glass of wine €11.50. There's a €7 tray charge for breakfast in room. Breakfast itself was self-service and chaotic, staff seemed overwhelmed trying to keep up, but to be fair they were polite and courteous given the scale of customers. In terms of location for a gig at the 3Arena, it's very handy - can't fault it there. But overall very expensive for what it is. Doesn't feel warm and is probably more suitable to the younger generation.

Was very disappointed with our stay at the Gibson recently! We booked early( 2 months) as we were trying to be efficient and organised as westlife were playing, we were charged €409! We met people staying the same night and cost them €200!! Absolutely ridiculous the difference, we did questioni it to be told we booked to early! DO NOT BOOK IN ADVANCE!!! Also breakfast was cold, man on desk was Chinese couldn’t understand a word, steam room not working, asked for a bottle of beer and got a pint. Lift got stuck! Not happy with the whole stay and didn’t get much satisfaction!

Had an amazing experience with dinner & drinks at the Gibson Hotel been served by Jenna.

A very good experience, the good was great, as well as the service ! Archita was very sweet and the manager very attentive! 10/10
