Michelin Guide "Landmark Georgian hotel with elegant guest areas... High level of services and extras."
Frommer's "One of Dublin's true grande dame hotels, the Shelbourne hotel has played a significant role in Irish history." Full review
Concierge "An airy, Georgian palette (butter yellow and rose) is brought back to earth by boxy Italian cherrywood credenzas."
Insight Guides "This grand old institution has competition as Dublin’s finest hotel these days, but it still boasts a historic aura that’s hard to beat, with a liveried doorman and the best address in town."
Jetsetter "A slice of Dublin history overlooking St. Stephen’s Green, with an on-site museum and barbershop." Full review
Lonely Planet "Dublin's most iconic hotel, founded in 1824, was bought out by the Marriott group, who spent a ton of money restoring its rooms and public spaces to their former grandeur, a few years ago."
Travel + Leisure "Keen to research your family's Irish roots? Save an afternoon for a meeting with the hotel's Genealogy Butler." Full review
Time Out "After having had more than €40 million lavished on it by its new owners (this 19th-century Dublin landmark is now a member of the Marriott empire), the Shelbourne is looking pretty damn good." Full review

Concierge "For a hotel so central to Temple Bar, the double-glazing does a good job of dampening the noise, but as a package, the Morgan is mixed."
Fodor's "A sparkling gem among a lot of very drab hotels in Temple Bar, the Morgan boasts about its chic design and decor." Full review

"The Morgan is a boutique hotel located in Temple Bar, the "cultural quarter" and nightlife center in Dublin." Full review
Time Out "The Morgan is, first and foremost, a trendy hotel... but it is also a very comfortable and attractive spot in which to lay your head for a few nights." Full review

On which note, be warned: rooms looking out on to Fleet Street can be noisy in the small hours; ask for a room at the back of the hotel or on one of the upper floors.
Star Service "The historic four-story building blends right into bohemian Temple Bar, but the interior fosters an avant-garde mood without the usual high prices and tiresome pretensions. " Full review
