The Gibson Hotel

We had a lovely stay in the Gibson. The staff were so lovely and accommodating and the food was delicious. We had the pleasure of being looked after by Patrick the Bar Manager when we went for dinner who made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend:)

Stayed at Hotel Gibson @Dublin. Good: Very new hotel. Very good & efficient staff. Well laid out rooms; very spacious. Nice modern designed Wardrobes with spring-loaded catch; press to open. Nice comfortable beds. Disappointing: Housekeeping poor Others: Situated away from busy/noisy Temper Bar, very quiet & serene locale. Buses to Temple Bar 5mins walk from hotel; 10-15mins ride. Express bus to airport near hotel. Final remarks: Front office manager took immediate action to rectify disappointing housekeeping. Even offered rebate to mitigate lapse in housekeeping; that’s why was much appreciated. Highly recommended despite poor housekeeping (during our stay) which I am sure will be rectified. Thanks to all staff for making our stay pleasurable.

First up, we were told we didn’t have a booking, we found the email to dispel that myth. Now I am in my room and there is now way on earth that we will be able to sleep because of the noise of the aircon, it sounds like driving along a motorway with the window open slightly, just enough to give that whine, similar to a subway train arriving through a tunnel. I’ve never heard anything like it in any of the 40-50 hotels I have stayed in different parts of the world. This is supposed to be an executive room??, absolute joke, have recorded video where the noise is clearly heard. Never again and €260 for the pleasure of a sleepless night, go elsewhere would be my advice.

Our stay was really disappointing from start to finish. The air conditioning in the room was freezing, and we had to call reception four times asking for someone to fix it — no one ever showed up. Before heading out to a gig, we mentioned it again at reception, and they said they’d send someone, but when we came back hours later, the room was even colder. We went back down again and were told it was “new information.” Eventually, the night manager came up, turned the air con off, and brought us a heater, which finally made a difference. On top of that, room service took ages, and when it finally arrived, both the pizza and the sandwich were completely cold. For €300+ a night, the service and response were unacceptable. Really expected a lot more from a hotel in this price range.

Patrick and Gabriel are great professionals, the service was excellent and the food was delicious!! Thank you so much!
