I ve stayed at The Gibson a few times, it s one of my go-to spots in Dublin, and more of a 3.5 star overall. I like the location, convenient to the airport and town, and now the north-side Luas line. The Docklands is and will be for some time a massive construction site, but there s little impact of all the building on one s stay here.

The staff are friendly and helpful, and in my experience the place is quiet, and spacious (both the hotel building and the rooms). But for such a new hotel the place is looking, in the rooms, a bit worse for wear. The room in which we recently stayed had abundant carpet stains and stuffs on walls. It was sparsely decorated, spartan really, with a single painting over one side of a bed that slouched southward at the head end.

All in all a good choice for affordable Dublin stays.
