This hotel was exactly as advertised. Reasonably priced, clean, quiet, and full of dining options. The staff were always warm, friendly, and helpful. The dinner I had at the gastro pub was one of my favorite meals of my time in Ireland. The coffee was great from the express cafe. When my luggage was delayed from the airline the hotel staff were able to accept the delivery for me so I could go explore without having to meet the delivery driver. The room was cleaned daily. Excellent hot water in the shower. Bed was comfortable. Will be staying here again.

The room was in good condition. The music played until 12:30 AM. At which time the staff decided to empty alot of glass into the recycle bin in the alley - which woke us up in a very startling manner. When we complained about the noise, we were brought earplugs, which didn’t do a lot.

Good accommodations in a good location. Loved the food carts nearby and the easy walk to the museum and a slightly longer walk to the very fun downtown. Quick Uber rides to anywhere you want to go. Good breakfast, nice restaurant and outdoor space, and a nice room. Recommend it.

Bath was very hard to step into for shower, about the worst I’ve ever experienced. Pillows could be better quality. Great staff, food options.
