I had a great experience at The Alex. First and foremost, the staff at The Alex was wonderful. They were responsive to my emails before my arrival, answering all my questions promptly. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted, and throughout my three-day stay, their friendliness was appreciated. The king room I stayed in made for a comfortable retreat. The shower was particularly enjoyable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like the stocked coffee, tea, coffee maker, and kettle. It was great to have my room serviced daily, keeping everything neat and tidy throughout my stay. I also loved the convenience of the cafe right on-site. Grabbing a coffee before heading out for the day was a perfect way to start each morning. The location was good—it was an easy walk to the EPIC Museum and the Jeanie Johnston, and I found the Temple Bar area to be just a short distance away. The nearby pubs like The Ginger Man and Kennedy's added to the experience; both are just a stone's throw away and created a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying a night out. The dinner at Tang, located next door, was absolutely fantastic. Overall, I highly recommend The Alex for anyone looking for a comfortable stay with excellent service and a good location. I hope I can go back someday.

This was my 2nd time at The Alex and it didn't disappoint. I was travelling on my own and the location is perfect for walking to the main shopping areas. I had room service which was delicious with a varied menu. My room was huge with a very comfortable bed. Thanks to the team and I would definitely return to The Alex.
