The hotel was very nice, in a beautiful neighborhood and the breakfast was great. The room was downstairs and a little on the small side for three people. Beautiful hotel for a reasonable price for one night.

Cannot recommend this Hotel enough. It’s in a superb location for the Aviva Stadium and easy access to central Dublin. Hotel and especially the bedroom was spotlessly clean. Very roomy double bedroom with a very comfortable bed
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Breakfast was one of the best we have had in any hotel and the bar had a great selection of drinks.
We will stay there again and cannot not recommend to stay enough

A lovely, comfortable stay away from the bustle of the city centre. Staff here warm and inviting and couldn’t be more accommodating. Bed and furnishings extremely comfortable and I was delighted to have a bathtub in the bathroom! - it’s sadly becoming a rare treat in hotels today

I absolutely love this hotel. You can immediately tell that it is a family run business as it just smacks of traditional hospitality. This is not your cookie cutter corporate hotel. I am in Dublin every week on business from another part of Ireland and I have to admit the quality value proposition of this hotel is just the best
