My daughter wanted to try an authentic tea experience while we were on holiday and we couldn't have been more pleased with the Shelbourne's version. The dining room in which it is served is sun-filled and lovely. The tea sandwiches and desserts were delicious and plentiful as they would bring more upon simply asking; and the presentation was unsurpassed, as the desserts were not only delectable, but also exquisite. The tea selection was extensive and varied. Our server was most efficient and personable. The woman dining next to us said she had just had afternoon tea at a well-known location in Paris the previous week and the Shelbourne was far better. Treat yourself to this unforgettable experience, as you won't regret it.

We are very impressed with hotel . They pay attention to every detail . Rooms a nice and they have a cleaning and turn down service . The breakfast is wonderful ! We dined there each morning . We enjoyed the buffet . There was something there for everyone.

We had such a wonderful stay here. The staff was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The charm, character and history of the hotel are great. It is very clean and comfortable with a delicious breakfast buffet. The beautiful park is right across the street along with many restaurants, shops and things to do. The location is great as well. The gym and pool are also very well kept and have everything you need for a workout while on holiday.

Beautiful hotel and friendly staff. The hallways are narrow and the ceilings on the guest floors are low, which is fine as it's truly an old and historic hotel. The hallways were too warm for me, however, and the scent they pump in to the lobby and reception area is way too strong. The reception, room service, cleaning service, and luggage handlers were all wonderful. There were always guys dressed to the nines standing by the doors talking to each other. I don't know if that was their job or if they're there to greet and help push the door open, but I always seemed to sneak by them without a greeting as they were busy in conversation with each other. The food was good, but it can be challenging to get coffee during busy check out times. We were given free fudge for our late coffee order so it didn't go unacknowledged. It's an expensive hotel which is reflected in the initial presentation, but I seriously would have been thrilled to find a Nespresso maker in my room, as opposed to the poor over tea bag coffee that was there. It's nice having St Stephen's Green right across the way for a beautiful nature walk whenever you want!

Came here a few days before Christmas for an afternoon tea. Really recommend it! There was so food. You can order extra sandwhiches as many as you like. The scones were one of the best I've tried in Dublin and the desserts were great too!
