Spa

The Spencer Hotel is a fabulous place to stay if you're planning on visiting Dublin. The wellness facilities, however, seem to be outdated and in need of a revamp. A few guests were disappointed with the pool, jacuzzi and sauna, but they still managed to enjoy the bijou lap-pool with two lanes. The spa day that they added to the itinerary was still a good experience. The steam room and sauna were worth a try. Guests appreciated the high-end toiletries and nespresso machine in the rooms, but felt that robes would have been a great addition for those who wished to go down to the pool area. The comfort and leisure center was decent and the atmosphere in the on-site bar is perfect for a post-workout drink. Despite the few shortcomings, The Spencer Hotel remains an excellent choice if you need somewhere comfortable and cozy to stay during your visit to Dublin.

Pool

The Spencer Hotel offers a pool area that is perfect for relaxing with its tranquil atmosphere. However, some guests were disappointed when the pool was unexpectedly closed without prior notice. Despite this, many still found the pool wonderful to use, although some comments suggested that it was not well managed and had limited opening hours. The pool itself received mixed reviews as some guests described it as nice, while others found it filthy and too cold for comfort. The whirlpool was sadly not functional during some guests' stays. Some travelers with high fitness expectations were delighted with the state-of-the-art gym facilities and pool. However, the changing room was described as grim and robes were not provided for pool use. Additionally, some negative experiences were reported, such as builders fixing the jacuzzi during certain stay periods and another guest spitting in the pool. There is also no lifeguard on duty and the atmosphere was not ideal for relaxation for some guests who were uncomfortable with staring men or found the pool too busy.

Parking

The Spencer Hotel is a great choice for travelers looking for a central location with secure parking, though some guests found the car park hard to locate and needs more signposts. The hotel offers parking options at an additional cost, which some guests found expensive and a lack of help when the car park was full. However, other guests appreciated the hotel's excellent parking facilities situated just around the corner. Some guests even suggested that parking should be free for those staying at the hotel. Overall, parking may come at an additional cost, but it is a huge plus for those looking to explore Dublin by car.

Nightlife

The Spencer Hotel is a great choice if you're looking for a hotel that's conveniently located near 3 Arena. You can easily walk to the venue and enjoy the fabulous events that take place there. However, if you're sensitive to noise, the loud club music playing at all times might be an issue for you. The bar music also tends to be too loud and too club-like. The music in the lounge is loud as well when the DJ is present. Nevertheless, if you're a fan of house/techno beats, you might find the low-key DJ's music entertaining. If you're not attending an event at 3Arena, you might want to check if any Christmas parties or building work is taking place nearby, which could be a bit noisy. Despite the noise issues, the location is still perfect and you'll find the staff helpful and the rooms comfortable. Additionally, there's great food offered at the hotel.
