What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Gibson Hotel is appreciated for its spacious and clean rooms, often described as particularly large for Dublin. Its location is a major draw, especially for events at the 3Arena, which is right outside the door, and the convenient Luas tram stop that quickly connects you to the city center. A few guests have mentioned encountering rooms that felt a bit cold; however, many appreciate the good value for money and find the breakfast excellent.

i stayed in a room facing the courtyard. it was very quiet. the red line is right out front, that's convenient! there are two grocery stores and lots of eating options nearby.

The room felt a bit cold. There were no soft furnishings apart from the bed linen! twin beds had wheels on them. They moved about a bit when i turned in the bed. the room was very sparse.
