Most everything was very good to excellent. I would recommend that the hotel provide somewhat bigger desktop fans for air circulation & cooling. Updating their in room charging outlets for phones etc would also help many travelers.

Really liked and enjoyed this hotel - we got a nice spacious room, parking and walking distance to where we wanted to go and explore. Slight issue with the shower on the last morning but i think it was due to just a very busy morning so possibly too many attempting to use the shower at the same time. Mentioned it at reception at check out and they were apologetic about it which I appreciated. Highly recommend this hotel, and will book to stay there again.

I can't think of anything I didn't like. The staff were all very friendly and accomodating, the room was spacious and clean. The restaurant was very good, although the menu was limited. The food was delicious and service was wonderful. Laundry service was reasonable and it was conveniently located to public transportation, small grocery stores and other restaurants. I'll be going back!

We were in Dublin for a concert. Location wasn’t the greatest. The worst was the bed! The bed was absolutely atrocious! Neither my husband nor I could sleep on it it was so bad! I’d rather sleep on the floor than on that bed/ mattress. We won’t be returning any time soon. Place was clean, but if you want a nice comfy sleep I would not be staying here.

Stayed the night before our Vagabond tour. The meeting point for our tour was at this hotel. The room was great, the bed was too firm for my liking. Otherwise, the staff was super nice and helpful and the resturant was good.
