The Gibson Hotel

This was a pleasant place to stay. The service was very nice and it was all very clean. It is located at the end of the light rail line, which is convenient if you want to be away from the noise of the city. It is the first stop from the airport and last stop on the way back to the airport on the shuttle bus, which was also very convenient. We had a room with two twin beds. The beds and sheets were very small and were placed very close together. The bathroom shower had a piece of glass which faced into the sleeping area, so if the light was on in the bathroom, it lit up the room where someone is sleeping. This was not a good design in my opinion.

Just stopped in for a drink to meet some friends before heading to a gig in the 3 arena. The hotel itself is very nice, it has the usual hotel vibe, spacious with no real atmosphere, the staff were very friendly.
I ordered a starter of duck spring rolls to accompany my drink, the spring rolls were nice, quite crisp and freshly made, however the sauce was a tad too sweet and side salad had seen better days.

My friend booked this hotel for us during our stay. It had some really nice amenities and was very modern.
While this place was off the beaten path & away from the downtown area; the train was right outside.
We had a complimentary breakfast with our stay. They had a decent sized gym.
My favorite feature of this hotel was the bathtub! It was massive!
The staff was friendly and the place was clean. I’d stay here again.

Nice looking hotel with modern design, feels new, located in questionable, developing edge of town. Tram right in front but nothing else in area other than 3 ARENA which must be dreadful when a concert is there. Room was clean, view not so great (from upper floor). Reception staff very, very helpful with area info and taxi booking (Thanks, Emelyn!). I would say it depends on price.

This hotel was lovely but a bit on the fringes in terms of location– however the train stop is right outside the hotel. The rooms were clean and the staff were excellent in terms of wanting to make you comfortable. I do highly recommend the spa on the sixth floor which is equipped with steam, sauna, pedicure stations and outside baths on the terrace. The shower in the room had two shower heads and a nice shelf to sit down. The internet was fast and there were so many little details about this hotel that made it extra nice from the blooms you could take to your room to the apples in the barrels on each floor– the attention to detail was something. Also, I do not recommend the pan Asian fare in the Hemi bar but the breakfast in the Coda is wonderful.

Modern, clean, reasonably priced. Right next to the metro and all ubers know where it is. They have an all you can eat breakfast but their dinner or bar menu is Asian fusion and is pretty bad. Room service has a poor selection so don’t get caught hungry late night. Another small downside is that you’re far from city center but the über home is cheaper than paying 50 – 100 euros more per night. Over all good value at a nice place.

As we only live around the corner, I thought to myself. Why haven’t my partner and I been here before. As we comfortably sat outside looking down on Point village and 3 Arena.
No answer came. «We have been missing out I said». A single nod from her confirmed that statement.
When the suns out the balcony captures the heat and keeps you rooted to the stop. As it moves over Dublin. We move with it. It looks like the long balcony is specifically built for this sole purpose.
But aside from that, We had a few drinks, Guinness and baileys coffee was our tipple of the day.
We plan to go back and order chicken wings, and a few other sides to nipple on.
Pop in when the suns out.
Staff are excellent and friendly.

I cannot compliment the staff enough. They were so helpful in directions and recommendations on where to go, what to see in Dublin. I wish I would have written down the female staff member at reception that was so wonderful. The rooms are exceptionally clean and beds super comfortable. The staff in the restaurant/​bar were so nice and the food was extremely tasty. They even gave my son a cake and balloons after they heard it was his birthday! The coffee shop next door is amazing as well. You can hop on the Luas which is right outside to travel around Dublin. Thank you to The Gibson Hotel and especially staff for helping make our Dublin experience such a pleasure!

This review is really just for the bar
Was here recently for a quick drink after a meal in a restaurant in the IFSC. I have an unbelievable (& possibly a little abnormal) love of the city of Dublin so the view in this place for me was unbelievable, but you do have to walk all the way to the end of the balcony to see past The Point Theatre (or the O2, or the 3 Arena or whatever it’s flippin called by the time you’re reading this), butt he view extends fully out over the bay & to the Dublin mountains.
The drinks I found to be expensive considering it’s just a hotel almost in the middle of nowhere, but I did enjoy the waiter service, which was a little slow, but just added to the chilled out vibe of the place.

I was here for a meeting /​presentation so that’s the bit I review.
I found the hotel a bit confusing. Reception on the 3^rd floor and to get to the conference part you go through the restaurant — which on the other hand can’t be nice for guests dining there when a conference is over and the masses go past them.
But from the meeting rooms itself I was impressed. First a foyer where you can check in, have a coffee and if applicable sandwiches or what’s on offer. And signs outside the rooms are clearly stating with red and green lights behind the signs whether they are availabe or not and if book for when, how long, how much time left before empty again.
We were in a small room, the chairs comfortable (but not too comfortable) and the temperature was right.
So apart from better /​more inviting signage to find your way around I enjoyed my stay — in the meeting room.

Nice rooms, close to the train, couple restaurants inside. Pricey and right across the street from The O2.

Definitely one of the top 3 hotel stays of my life; possibly number one.
My wife and I stayed a few nights at The Gibson on our honeymoon. The room was amazing– big, bright, and modern. The staff were friendly & helpful (someone even had a dessert waiting for us to return one evening after learning we were recently married). Having taxis and a Lua stop immediately outside was incredibly convenient, especially after having driven a car all over the country before arriving in Dublin. It really felt like every little detail had been thought of & addressed without the guest having to ask; can’t recommend the place enough.

Wir waren für ein Wochenende in Dublin und sehr zufrieden mit der Wahl des Hotels. Das Gibson ist ideal für eine Städtereise nach Dublin.
Das Hotel ist recht neu und sehr modern gestaltet (guter Innenarchitekt !!). Man fühlt sich gleich wohl. Die Zimmer sind riesig, mit großem modernem Bad, bequemen Betten und schöner Sitzecke. Aus den großen Fenstern hat man entweder einen Blick über die Stadt oder in die schön bepflanzten Innenhöfe. Föhn, Bügelbrett, Bügeleisen, Wasserkocher, TV, Wlan im Zimmer.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. In der Lobby gibts Bonbons und Blumen, die man aufs Zimmer mitnehmen darf :)
Die Lage ist ein wenig außerhalb, gegenüber der O2 im Hafen, aber die Tram hält direkt vor der Tür und man ist in max. 10 min in der Stadt. Auch der Flughafen ist mit dem Airlink Bus gut angebunden.

This review is for the restaurant inside the Gibson. We went there for a pre-​concert meal last week, to get the sustenance in us before the madness.
The first point to mark was the welcome, or lack thereof that we received when we arrived. We arrived to a burly bouncer standing outside the entrance who promptly told us to stand to one side while he interrogated some other people about what they were doing there. I had a flashback to trying to get into an Over 18s disco as a teenager. I felt as if I’d done something wrong by trying to eat there!
After we had cleared up that we did in fact have a reservation, we went upstairs to find that the guys had booked us in for a 9pm slot instead of a 6.30 one, by which stage we would have been in the concert. To be really fair to them, they realised that they’d made an error and moved heaven and earth to get us a place. All with a smile — top marks! Could do with transferring some of that good humour and sense to the door staff. It’s hard to recover a bad first impression like that.
The food was good, though it was a pretty lean menu I guess to cope with the numbers that go through the doors on a concert night. I had fish on a bed of potatoes which was nice and the Caesar salad to start. My friends had the burger which was really dry and not great.
It was expensive for what it was — small portions and average food.
The saving grace were the staff inside who were absolute stars.

This is a great hotel. The location is directly across from the O2 so it’s perfect for staying at when a good gig is on and easily accessible from the LUAS. It has modern, spacious rooms, a nice restaurant, and a great bar area. The staff are lovely and very attentive.

Das Gibson ist ein schönes, neues Hotel ein wenig ausserhalb des Stadtzentrums gleich gegenüber der O2 Arena. Verkehrstechnisch aber dennoch super erschlossen da die Endstation einer der Strassenbahnlinien gleich vor der dem Hotel ist. In der City ist man dank Tram innert 10 Minuten, zu fuss sind’s dann 30 – 40 Minuten.
Die Zimmer sind gross und modern, waren sehr sauber und wir hatten sogar noch eine tolle Terrasse (die man aber mit den Nachbarn teilt). Ich weiss jedoch nicht ob das alle Zimmer haben.
Das W-​Lan hat super funktioniert. Beim Frühstück kann man entweder Continental oder Irish auswählen. Das bestimmt sowohl den Preis als auch was man sich vom Buffet holen darf. Dieses ist absolut ok, die Auswahl an Brot & Zutaten ist vielleicht etwas mager…
Zu viel Irish Breakfast heisst: Fitness! In diesem Hotel ist es wirklich sehr gut: 3 Laufbänder, 3 Crosstrainer, 2 Velos, 2 Ruder Geräte sowie Freihantel Gewichte dazu liegen überall Tücher und frisches Wasser auf. Zutritt gibts nur nachdem man einen Waiver unterschrieben und daraufhin seine keycard an der Rezeption kostenlos aufgeladen hat.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Gibson Hotel while staying in Dublin. The staff was awesome, here are a few examples:
— My iPhone charger went on the fritz. They charged my phone at the desk.
— I needed an A/​C adapter — loaned me one
— Front Desk Staff came out from behind the desk to show me my room number and direct me to my room.
— Had breakfast two days (nice spread)
— Dinner at the Bar (Burger was excellent) and the Argentinean Malbec was delicious?
My only con…
— Location, the area is on the up and up; but it’s a little sleepy.
if I’m in Dublin again, I would certainly stay here again. I’d recommend it!
P. S. The rain shower head in the bathroom is amazing. Also, the internet speed is fantastic!

I like how this is the first stop off the hop along bus from the airport, and then it’s the last stop on the tram. It was convenient for us to get around with out having to take a cab at all around Dublin. It is also located right across the O2 and the movie theater. The reception is located on the 3^rd floor along with the bar and restaurant. I really like how the Relaxation Room/​spa is set up where is self service and you can basically do your own foot scrub, utilize the steam bath, sauna, and hot tub. The fitness center was decent as there was a rowing machine that I utilized in incorporating my own workout. The room is pretty spacious and modern. The bathroom has speakers so you can still hear what is on the tv even though you can’t watch it. The staff is extremely nice and helpful showing me to where the bar and restaurant was located, and giving directions and suggestions on transportation. There was a good deal on the rooms through a third party, but totally a quality hotel.

Top gepflegtes, modernes Hotel, auch für ein Wochenendtrip nach Dublin.
Die Strassenbahn hält vor der Tür, in 10 Min ist man im Zentrum.
Frühstück ist gut und reichlich, selbst wenn man morgens um 4:00 w/​Rückflug auscheckt, gibt es eine Tüte mit Frühstück dazu.
Für 14 € pro Tag lässt sich das Fahrzeug auch noch abstellen.
Wlan gibt es im ganzen Hotel in passabler Geschwindigkeit kostenlos,
Hier werden wir wieder übernachten, wenn wir nochmal nach Dublin kommen.

I was at the Gibson twice this week for a job interview, which I got, thank you, with my out-​of-​town boss and I had almost forgotten about the place until I was requested to meet there.
It’s a nice hotel from what I can see, but …
It’s a bit out of the way
There’s a long way to go to get anywhere, in that you enter and then there’s nothing until the 3^rd floor.
Other than that, the people are friendly, the staff were attentive at the Hemi Bar. Free wifi is also a good thing. Loved the popcorn that I had when we sealed the deal with my pint of Guinness (yummy btw).
I had been there before for various events, including networking and also charity. It’s a great space. I just think for some reason that it could be more.

Das sehr moderne Gebäude mit seiner gebogenen gläsernen Außenfassade liegt direkt neben der O2-​Arena in Richtung Hafen etwas abseits des innenstädtischen Trubels. Abgesehen von dem benachbarten Veranstaltungszentrum bietet die architektonisch zwar schön gestaltete, aber verlassen wirkende Umgebung wenig, das zum Verweilen anregt. Die keltische Wirtschaftskrise zeigt sich hier in einigen Gebäudeleerständen.
(Siehe Foto unten)
Unser in den Innenhof zeigendes Doppelzimmer war großzügig dimensioniert. Die Ausstattung mit hellem Holz, klaren Formen und warmen Farben setzte den Stil im Eingangsbereich gelungen fort. Fernseher (hier hätte man Pro 7 als einzigen deutschen Sender auch gleich weglassen können), kostenloses und schnelles WLan sowie ein kleiner Kühlschrank waren vorhanden.
(Siehe Foto unten) (Siehe Foto unten)
Das moderne Badezimmer war sogar behindertengerecht ausgebaut und daher ebenfalls recht groß. Leider fehlte eine Badewanne.
(Siehe Foto unten)
Das sehr freundliche Personal brachte uns verfrorenen Mitteleuropäern sogar einen elektrischen Heizkörper aufs Zimmer, da die Klimaanlage eher auf irisches Temperaturempfinden ausgelegt war. :-)
In unserem Aer-​Lingus-​Komplettangebot (für den unterirdischen Service des Reiseveranstalters kann das Hotel natürlich nichts) schlug die Nacht mit knapp 70 Euro zu Buche das scheint mir angesichts des generell etwas höheren irischen Preisniveaus nicht zu viel, die 260 Euro in der Preisliste beziehen sich offensichtlich auf Spitzenzeiten mit Lady Gaga-​Konzerten etc
Das Frühstück geht extra, 10 Euro für Continental, 15 Euro für ein Full Irish Breakfast. Bei der üppigen einheimischen Variante kann sich an den bekannten Klassikern wie Spiegeleiern, black und white pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans on toast etc. pappsatt essen und daneben noch die üblichen Joghurt/​Müsli/​Croissant etc. schnäkern. Die Qualität war wirklich überzeugend, der aufmerksame Service brachte stets neuen Tee und Toast.
Für uns war das Gibson Hotel eine gute Wahl. Die relativ große Entfernung zur Innenstadt fiel kaum ins Gewicht, da die LUAS (Straßenbahn)-Haltestelle direkt neben dem Hotel liegt.

I like the Gibson and have been something of a supporter since it opened. Mostly I’ve been for events — conferences, meetings and the like. When there’s something on, I find it buzzy, classy, airy and well-​organised and would certainly recommend it. I’ve eaten there occasionally (either nibbles at the conferences or else full meal). I think the small bites and casual dining are the thing they do best. The bars are great — with some great views on Dublin, the river, the Aviva etc.
is it a little out of the way? Yes. But is it worth the trip — definitely. Try it for bevies before or after a gig in the O2 some time and make up your own mind. I rate it.

I really want to rate this hotel 4 stars — but it’s really hard. I’ll start off with the positive.
PROS:
— Gorgeous, modern exterior and interior.
— Staff was very helpful at check-​in and check-​out
— Free wi-​fi
— The room was very nice with all amenities (loved the toiletries)
CONS:
— The location is a bit of a hike from what you want to see and do in Dublin.
— The parking was expensive.
— There was a party going on in the bar area 2 floors down and we could hear the music thumping in our room and it went on until 1am and we had an early flight home the next morning.
— Restaurant/​Bar had good food, but once we were sat down — they totally forgot about us and I actually had to go track someone down to order another drink.
Do with this information as you will — but I think next time, I would probably opt for something a little bit closer to all of the action.

Attention tres bon marché en ce moment ou je redige cet avis. Hotel moderne tres propre.
Pres de la plus grande salle de concert de Dublin. Hotel à 10 mts de temple bar et autre musées.
Pour info le Tram est à 20 metres de l’hotel. Les chambres sont spacieuses avec wifi (pas pratique avec code).
Le seul petit probleme c’est le petit dejeuné qui est de 15 euros.
En venant de l’aeroport je vous recommande de prendre le bus 1ere arret.

Went there when Canon hosted a talk. Passed the empty and cold looking ground floor, the hotel is very stylish. The function room was quite big, very elegant. I d recommend it for hosting events because the space is well organised, as the close proximity of the luas helps people avoid leaving their cars in this not so safe and secure area of dublin.
I d say there must be a great view from some of the room.
