The lobby is gorgeous the rooms and floors are dark with an odd vinyl tile and very basic, especially compared to the lobby, bar and restaurant. Despite being more inland all we heard was seagulls who were nesting and hanging out on the roof top building next to ours. The staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms are very very basic

The Riu Gresham was an oasis of comfort and delight! From the lovely en suites, with comfortable beds, to the attentive staff, and wonderful meal service, we would stay there again in a heartbeat. After reading other reviews about parking, we chose to drop our car off at the airport before settling into the hotel. It was about a 30 minute ride and cost our son in law about 20 euros. To get back to the airport, you can catch the AerBus right across from the hotel. Just make sure you give yourself a bit of a window. Our driver left 5 minutes before the scheduled ride!

Nice hotel. Well situated

Check in was slow as it was busy when we arrived. Our room was large and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. Bathroom and shower was very good. Breakfast was very good. Our other booking for our daughter at the same hotel at the same time was a similar review with only one issue. The uht milk in the room was off. Overall an enjoyable stay.

We had an excellent experience! We hours before our check in and had just been caught in a very heavy rain fall. The staff was amazing and was able to get us into our room. The room was clean and very quiet, even being close to the elevator. The breakfast was amazing. Great staff and the food was fantastic! The Riu definitely goes above and beyond! We are traveling Ireland and are so glad we booked another stay at the Riu when we return to Dublin!
