Fodor's "The terrace bar at the tastefully modern Gibson Hotel has to be the dream spot to view the impressive skyline and shimmering waterways. ... A calm oasis in the bustling city." Full review
Lonely Planet "Built for business travellers and out-of-towners taking in a gig at the O2 next door, the Gibson is undoubtedly impressive: 250-odd ultra-modern rooms...and internet work stations." Full review

"The comfortable Gibson — perched close to the banks of the river Liffey with views across Dublin Bay — offers the wide skies and bracing air of a seaside hotel." Full review

"The four-pearl Gibson Hotel is a modern, streamlined property that though far from Dublin’s city center, is right next to a music and events venue and close to a convention center." Full review

DK Eyewitness "It has a central location beside government buildings... requented by political figures."
Time Out "The rooms are distributed across three Georgian buildings and exude charm, from their hefty Georgian windows to the views of the broad streets below." Full review
Star Service "This small, traditional four-story hotel—a series of five bricked Georgian town houses—holds plenty of old-fashioned historic charm, at least in the public areas." Full review

Room 100 is worth requesting for its spaciousness, but its hearth is merely ornamental.
Frommer's "This traditional hotel has a wonderful sense of class that saves it from feeling stuffy." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"Buswells Hotel has a homey vibe... the hotel is located in the city center near many tourist attractions, but it's still quiet." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Not so much grand as comfortable and quaint, with a matchless situation in the very heart of the city. The Aircoach stops across the road." Full review
Frommer's "An old-school air pervades this rather traditional midpriced hotel...small but decently furnished guest rooms are modern in style." Full review

Guests with mobility problems should ask for a room on a lower floor, as the old building (actually three townhouses merged together) has many staircases.

"The 69 bedrooms have all been given the once-over, but have left their Georgian charm intact." Full review
