The Spencer

We came here for a family meet up before Christmas, it was so busy but the staff were still really attentive to our party and nothing was missed. All the food was lovely. we had a particularly good waiter called Paul, it was such a busy night, but he could not have been better, he was fan and paid so much attention to our little party guest. The only drawback was that the music was quite load and we would have preferred it to be quieter, but it was the last Friday before Christmas, and there were a few functions on so that may have explained that. In fairness, that would have only affected a large group. All round, I wou the recommend it.

Modern hotel in the financial district. Fun décor, fine breakfast easy rooms.
Great to get to from the airport shuttle (stops directly in front of hotel).
We arrived super early and although we couldn’t do an early check in, we were able to have breakfast and work out in the gym which is awesome– I would book this hotel just for the the spa and gym. I did a swim and then lifted weights and relaxed in the sauna. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Everyone checked in to make sure I was having a good experience– but they weren’t overbearing and when my husband came looking for me, the attendant came in the locker room to find me!
The rooms were small but comfortable. The shower clean and the bed was great for a much needed rest. It wasn’t in the middle of the the touristy things but we walked to Guiness, Jameson, Trinity, Christ Church etc. It was nice not to be in the college student center of things. We’re city people so walking a mile or two isn’t a big deal for us. If it is, take a bus.
View was great. I’m ready to return and begin vacation again! The hotel bar is hopping so if you want a quieter room… say so!

As a former client of the old Clarion hotel, and a big fan of The Morgan hotel in Temple bar, I was delighted to hear last January that the Fitzpatrick group had taken over the Clarion and were re-​branding. Having worked in the IFSC for over 6 years, The Spencer Hotel has breathed new life into what was a very tired building.
The company I worked for hosted their relaunch there last July and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met for the day. Everything from the meeting rooms, lunch in ‘The Pantry’ and the BBQ were fantastic and I would HIGHLY recommend The Spencer to anyone for business or pleasure.
The cocktails are amazing and I love the new cocktail bar and seating area.
We’ll be back!

Stayed here for a conference at the convention center. Clean, nice room, pretty good included breakfast but could work on the fruit quality. And the scrambled eggs.

Very modern hotel in the financial district in Dublin. A bit out of the way of the tourist stuff, but with the Luaus a block away, it is easy to get anywhere from the Spencer.
Front desk was not able to accommodate our early check in request; bummer. They were helpful and checked our bags.
Our room was nice. Not large, but clean with updated décor.

Great experience.
Our hotel room had a wrap around deck that viewed the Liffey River in front of our bed. Each morning and night, it was nice to have coffee or a glass of wine on our balcony and just look over the city and waterfront.
The vast majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel was clean, modern and walking distance from everything.
Breakfast each morning was delicious with a good selection of hot, cold, and fresh food and beverages. I had room service a couple of nights and there was a good variety of asian fusion, American, and desserts.
There were a good variety of gym classes guests were able to sign up for. I took the yoga and body pump classes.

Stayed at the Spencer while I was in Dublin for meetings at Trinity College and the convention center. The location is very good but what set the Spencer apart was the wonderful staff. We were warmly greeted and staff went out of their way to ask after us and to assist. Rooms were very clean, spare, but we had everything we needed. Nespresso in the room was a plus.

Everything about this place has been fabulous– food, drinks, atmosphere, cleanliness, and location. The service was really excellent no matter who helped us. I highly recommend this place. The breakfast buffet has a full Irish breakfast & the lamb stew at East Restaurant was outstanding!

The Cocktail Bar here isn’t bad at all for a hotel. Somewhat soulless and with careless service, sure, but it’s comfortable and versatile enough.
It’s roughly divided into three different spaces. Some seating outside by the front door, the bar counter and an open plan with ample tables and comfy sofas inside, and finally — my personal favourite — an inner courtyard with heating and partially covered lounge space.
You get to choose from a comprehensive selection of cocktails, which turns out to be very hit and miss quality-​wise, and this can leave a bitter taste in your mouth as they don’t come cheap.
On a brighter note, you’ll also find on the menu some craft beers, which makes for a pleasant surprise.
If you’re around this part of town, this is a safe bet if you’re looking for a quiet, understated place to have a drink in more elegant and comfortable surroundings.

Much as I love this place for cocktails after work, a recent lunch left lots to be desired. Terrible service — the staff were doing their best not to catch our eye — and an inexcusable wait for our food, along with some order mix ups, left a bad taste in our mouths. But we’ll give it another go and I’ll report back on how we get on!

Really like this place! Their gym is one of the best hotel gyms I’ve ever been to — huge, loads of varied equipment and very clean. Also, shout out to Louise from the gym — she’s an awesome personal trainer. She really pushes you but also makes each session unique and is tuned into what you’re looking to accomplish.

I am working for a company who likes to spoil their employees with a fancy Xmas dinner.

Leave me your comments and feelings about the place. I would love to know how you liked it ! :)

I’ve only been for drinks, will have to try the food one of these days.
They’ve a nice selection of cocktails at 10 euro. They don’t seem to skimp on the booze so I’m more than happy with the drinks.
Nice comfy surroundings, its a nice place to chill out and have a drink.
