The Gibson Hotel

Modern and clean hotel. Massive room. Nice bedroom with a lovely bathroom and shower. We had a nice and quiet room. The only negatives was the TV that constantly dropped its signal and the bed that was very soft and therefore not the most comfy. We only stayed 1 night though so neither were a massive deal. I would stay again as it’s a good price point, easy parking, clean and modern and near the Luas and therefore very accessible for nights out in Dublin.

The hotel lacks and character or warmth, lobby resembles a warehouse or an airport. Gym was the worst hotel gym I have ever been in - 3 old pieces of cardio equipment shoved in a tiny room with no windows. Bed was comfy and room was clean but I was given a interconnecting room so could clearly hear everything my neighbors said and did. Breakfast was overpriced so I would suggest just going outside and eating in one of the cafe's. It was handy for me as I was with work and was within walking distance but wouldn't stay if it was on my own leisure time.

THE COLDEST HOTEL FOYER IVE EVER BEEN IN, A HUGE CONCRETE BLOCK OF ESCALATORS AND NO ATMOSPHERE,FELT LIKE A FORGOTTEN AIRPORT TERMINAL.BEDROOM MUCH THE SAME WITH A VIEW OF MORE CONCRETE AND A LOVELY USED PAIR OF RUBBER GLOVES BESIDE THE BED.CLINICAL, OVER PRICED AND VERY DISAPOINTING.ONLY PLUS WAS THE LOVELY STAFF WHO WERE ALL VERY ATTENTIVE.DEFINETELY NOT A TREAT HOTEL.I WOULD SAY ITS OK IF YOU JUST NEED SOMEWHERE TO STAY AND DONT WANT ANYTHING MEMORABLE...5/10

Heavy handed security. Family gathering and security staff advised that they didn’t permit U18’s in bar after 9pm. Security staff were too anxious to put people out. Please note they approached children and were not qualified to speak to children(Children First) . In our opinion there were under 18’s in the bar but were not approached. Why so selective.

We were going to a gig in the 3 Arena so we stayed here. The location is brilliant, easy to get to from Belfast and right beside the arena. The hotel itself is a real mixed bag. Staff were friendly, if not a bit hard to hear because of the noise bouncing round the minimalistic reception area. The bar area was packed as there was an event on in one of their rooms. We got food in the bar, it was ok if not a little over priced for the portion size. The room was brutally basic, and our view in to - what I’m guessing was meant to be some form of garden type area - was not really befitting of a 300 Euro a night room. The room was definitely not the cleanest, looked like bits of tobacco stuck to the curtains and generally a bit grubby and dusty. The room, and hotel in general is soulless and devoid of any form of character. The breakfast wasn’t bad the next day.
