Due to lack of air conditioning and a very small ventilation window, took quite a while to cool the room down in the evening. Lobby/bar area very useful due to small sleeping rooms. Breakfast was great.

8/10 Very good

Hotel location is nicely located; walking to attractions very easy. Our street-facing room provided bird’s eye view of the street’s happenings, and we quickly got accustomed to street noise and the bells of Christ Church. The very bustling pub next door is host to nightly live music and attracts many patrons, which adds to the din of the street.

Location was good. Rooms were a bit small, and shower floor was quite slippery. Didn’t use bar or restaurant, so can’t speak to those.

Great location. It’s an easy to get to all the tourist spots. Staff was indifferent and unenthusiastic. Room could’ve been more updated.

10/10 Exceptional

The location was fantastic,right in Temple Bar, yet tucked away enough that street noise wasn’t an issue. Our room was spotless, and the staff were lovely! They cheerfully humored my very American need to fill my water bottle to the brim with ice before our excursions and kindly arranged our car back to the airport. Just a few things could be improved. Our flight landed at 7 a.m., and we arrived around 9. Although early check-in had been mentioned as a possibility, our room wasn’t ready, which we completely understood. I did ask the woman at check-in to let us know when it became available, but she seemed uninterested and never contacted us. We spent the day wandering Dublin jet-lagged, returning around 3 p.m. hoping it was ready. A quick notification would have been such a kindness. The hairdryer didn’t work in the outlets by the full-length mirror, so I bought one at Primark. And the pillows desperately need an upgrade! Calling them pillows is generous, they were under three inches thick and about as supportive as a folded napkin on a dinner plate. Our head and neck hurt every morning. Those small frustrations aside, we had a wonderful stay. The cleanliness, peaceful location, and kindness of the other staff made it a great base for exploring Dublin. We’d happily return!

Great location. We ate at Darky Kelly’s right next door and it was incredible. It can get a little noisy being by a bar but with the windows closed, it’s not bad at all
Verified review

Some of the rooms are renovated but we were in an older one that had pretty gross carpet. There is no A/C which most of the year would be fine but we were there during warm weather. There was a small fan to use in the room. We liked the filtered water in the hallway. Breakfast onsite was good but not any cheaper or better than a local cafe. Location was good, the pub next door was loud one night but not too bad. Staff was super nice.

Great location! Clean and friendly staff. Was a bit loud at night as our room faced the alley where Darkey Kelly’s was. Also church bells. But would stay here again for sure.
