Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Pre Christmas treat in Dublin at one of our favourite hotels. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is great. We were there for the turning on of the Christmas tree lights which was very special. Our room was beautiful with classic furniture and a high standard of quality and comfort. Breakfast was fabulous.

WOW! What a hotel! The whole experience was faultless from beginning to end thanks to the wonderful team! I’d like to mention a few names of who stood out to us. Paul Burke really looked after us, along with Ashley, Bryan, Greg, Pawel, Nimet, Lorenzo, Oisin, Jessie and Patricia and Sudaporn in the Spa. We had the best time and can’t wait to go back soon! Thank you again Xx

This is an email to compliment staff member Orla in relation to a tour she gave myself and my family last Saturday. We had lunch in the Saddle room at 2pm which was beautiful for my Aunts 70th birthday celebration. After our lunch Orla brought us on a tour of the hotel , which in included the Princess Grace suite and the Constitution room. Her knowledge of the history of hotel was impressive and myself and my family really enjoyed the tour. Orla is an asset to the hotel and we all would like to thank her for her time on what was a very busy day in the Shelbourne Hotel. It really did top off a lovely day spent in the Shelbourne and we will be definitely back , maybe to try the Spa that Orla also showed us. Thank you Karen (On behalf of the Mahon party )

London, United Kingdom84 contributions82 helpful votes
Traditional hotel in wonderful Georgian building overlooking St Stephen’s Green. If one can judge a hotel by a top quality bed, bedding and overall comfort, then this hotel is top draw. The main downstairs bar looked fun but was very busy, so we opted for the quieter whiskey bar, which was great. Strangely the service at breakfast was very slow and below par, we saw a few customers complaining.

Had a fantastic Irish whiskey tasting in the Horseshoe Bar yesterday. We sampled 4 whiskeys, one from each province and I cannot recommend the whole experience highly enough. It is also amazing value considering it includes a glass of Midleton Very Rare! Our host was Mike and he really made the experience so enjoyable for us. An utterly professional man who imparted his great knowledge of whiskey on us, but did so in such a relaxed and convivial style. He is a great asset to the Shelbourne, thank you again Mike!

Everything about our stay was perfect. From the comfy beds with beautiful linens to the Shelbourne umbrellas left in the wardrobe for us to borrow during our stay. The room was spotlessly clean and the staff are wonderful. Even on a busy rugby weekend the staff take the time to chat and make you feel so welcome. I don’t know how they do it but the hotel is in the middle of a bustling city and yet there is no noise in the rooms either from outside or inside the hotel so you get a wonderful nights sleep. We have stayed at the Shelbourne several times now and each time the hotel makes you feel as though you have come home. Fantastic job to all the team. We hope to see you again very soon.

I absolutely adored The Shelbourne. It's like walking into a piece of history. I stayed here for a week while hosting a conference several years ago, and the service provided was top-notch. Our conference attendant began remembering how we took our coffees or fresh juice in the morning while we worked and it was perfection. The food was excellent and I couldn't recommend this experience more. Well done, Team Shelbourne!
