Incredible stay in an incredible city! This hotel and staff were top shelf. They allowed early check in and were very helpful during our stay. The location is great with easy access walking to a number of downtown amenities. Highly recommend.

Small room but very comfortable and clean. Good location for sightseeing in Dublin. No parking at the hotel, but there is a safe undercover parking lot very close nearby and the hotel validates your ticket so you get a discount for the parking. Went to the onsite restaurant twice and enjoyed the food both times.

The twin beds were so tiny and so was the room. It’s a city hotel but expected a bit more comfort in the room. Not great for 2 people.

The room was extremely small and especially the bathroom. It wasn’t comfortable to stay in the room due to the size of the room and bathroom.
The bed was not comfortable, and no shampoo or conditioner. Just soap was provided.
One thing was positive was that they cleaned the room daily.
The area was accessible to almost everything in Dublin.

In Dublin for the rugby. Excellent service with double room ready to check into at 11 am which we didn't expect. Room was top rate, clean and comfortable.
We didn't eat in the hotel or have any drinks at the bar but couldn’t fault the staff or facilities.
