Location was close to transit and main travel areas of Dublin. Unfortunately the neighborhood was quite rough , dirty and very very loud at night . Someone yelled outside of our window every night till 4 am. Rooms were incredibly cramped, beds were uncomfortable and the shower was so small you could barely move in it. The hotel staff were friendly and we enjoyed the little cafe

Such tiny rooms

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.

Visiting Dublin

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.

The hotel was very convenient to local attractions and restaurants. The on-site restaurant was also convenient and the breakfast was very good and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My only small negative was the layout of the room: the bathroom door banged onto the toilet, the TV was small and old (screen color was off) and the room chairs were uncomfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet for sleeping. I would recommend this hotel for others and return myself.

Great hotel

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.
