Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin
One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The staff are beyond polite and professional— they go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of from the moment you arrive. Would stay again. Room was clean and large, and the breakfast was tasty each morning.
