Great place to stay in Dublin

Hotel is on the edge of the Temple Bar area but central to everything. Buses and tour buses stop nearby with convenient restaurants in the area. Clean and very comfortable rooms - plush towels and bathrobes in the room. Staff were wonderful- very helpful and went out of their way to assist. Attached restaurant was very good as well.

Great location, a little noisy but that is to be expected and it died down quickly - although we were not there over a weekend. The restaurant attached to the hotel was absolutely fantastic. Food was not cheap, but it was excellent and though expensive, VERY good value for the money. Will stay there again.

Everything about the hotel was lovely. Clean, quiet, centrally-located, and helpful and friendly staff. Bruno at the front desk really stood out and was a highlight of our stay. We would stay here again, no question.

We loved everything about this hotel. We stayed here the 1st night and the last night of our trip. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was terrific. It was super quiet so you could not hear noice outside. The breakfast is delicious and well worth including it with your stay. The location is perfect for walking around Dublin for dinner and pub visits.

Really wanted to like this hotel, but too many thinks not too like. Rooms are very small, they really should have reduced the number of rooms per floor during the recent refurb and gave each room a bit more space. Noisy, the room backed on to temple bar and had little to no noise suppression. There was a layer of dust on shelves and to top drawers. Bathroom was lovely, just a bit cramped. Had breakfast one day only, items missing on breakfast. We werent the only ones for this to happen, another couple called the waitress to point this out.

5 stars down the line (my phone is not letting me choose 5 stars!). We loved everything! I called ahead and every question was answered with an such care. Iliana was the first in-person greeting. She is a wonderful representation of the hotel. Knowledgeable and so helpful with great recommendations! Clean, great bed, so cute, great vibe, the shower! Complete with a body sprayer and a rainfall. Everything smelled new and fresh!!! The body gel was non drying, good shampoo and conditioner. Remington high power blow dryer worked great (similar drying time to my Baby Bliss). The bakery downstairs is really great. Lots of options actually. Perfect location. Great few days. Sad goodbye, but Bruno and John took care of us! They kept our luggage locked up until 5p and John somehow got us a cab in 3 minutes that could handle our overpacking with plenty of seating for us three during rush hour on a weekend where a US college game came to town . It’s a boutique hotel so you will get a personal touch. I appreciated that Bruno knew my name btw. I went for a run and he clearly kept note on my return. I appreciate that! The whole experience was welcoming, comfortable, friendly, professional and fun. I will definitely come back! I had way more fun and got to do so much more with that prime venue!
