    I think he is very funny. Real Dublin deadpan humour.

    I understand the staff are only earning a living but they're doing absolutely nothing to endear themselves

    Some of the Irish staff seem to be a bit up themselves, but the Eastern European staff seem fairly pleasant.

    The Irish ones are so smug, Id say if their wage packets were broadcast it might deflate them a bit. Tips are probably good for the customer facing ones though.

    We had our christmas party there two years ago and while it was a lovely place the meal took 3 hours from start to finish for 300 people, we didn't go back last year.

    Please lay off the personal abuse/personal criticisms of the staff who work there and the customers

    Guys - amdublin's warning still stands. Any more personal abuse/personal criticism of the staff will earn a red card.

    I've deleted the last few posts from this thread.

    I was excited when I heard there was going to be a program about the Shelbourne. It's one of those places I have always wondered what it was like inside. I never had to guts to walk up to the door, I would imagine I would be turned away for not being dressed right or not having a designer bag or something!


    I think a one hour show would have been enough in fairness. It would have whetted the appetite, garnered interest in the hotel and raised its profile. But the series seems quite dragged out and the more I watch it the less I like it. The hotel thrived on exclusivity, 5*, grandier and it seems to have "lower" itself to reality tv! The Shelbourne is losing its mystique for me now!

    This shelbourne series just screams 'the more money you have the better we will treat you'
    Ffs surely all customers should be valued not just the high end ones !

    It's mad that they're stripping down the tables and moving them around while the guests are still in the room.

    It seems that the standards in that hotel have been set by somebody with an acute case of anal retentiveness.

    Are they using the term 'associates' for the staff, their colleagues?

    Felt sorry for the guy in the private dining room having to redo the table as there was one less for dinner!
