I have stayed in Dublin many times and this was our first time at the Gresham , and it will be our last . The hotel give a grand clean and inviting entrance, receptionist were quick and efficient at checking us in , that is once we got past the mask police, they force you to wear this mask when you are up from a seat in any public area s. Not in any correspondence from hotel does it say about masks on entering, only when at buffet for breakfast , thankfully I had packed some just in case, we walked through the door after being out for dinner, and were looking them out of my bag, when the concierge was straight over saying he would hassle us about the mask as we had to wear it . The rooms are clean but very dated. We left hotel for dinner and came back for a couple of drinks before bed, we waited one hour to be served, you cannot order at bar which is fine but they should have enough floor staff on to take orders , they didn t , we asked 3 times to be told in a minute, they never took an order we ended up going to bed without a drink. Myself and my partner were on the 5th floor the people in the room next to us partied until 2.20am, then they fought , I rang down to reception twice with no answer despite be told the reception was 24 hours. I did complain to manager the next morning but got the usual we are sorry , they said they didn t think it would be as busy , surely they knew how many guests were checking in? Breakfast in hotel was fine , we also had bar snacks which were fine and reasonably priced . As I say this was just an ok stay , would I recommend to a friend , probably not.
