Rooms are too small. There was no space for suitcases or to maneuver in any way. Would be ok for single travellers who like small spaces.

Staff was SUPER

FAB location and incredibly quiet! We arrived a day early (my bad) and realized I had messed up our reservation. They did not have a room but managed to get us a room close by during the incredibly busy American football weekend. Also, they allowed us to store our luggage there so we did not have to cart it around. That was really excellent service. Toby the intern was fantastic and helped us move our luggage around. He was so sweet and friendly. Everyone made us feel really at home. My only single critique is only that the space is very small. If you have a lot of luggate (we had wedding dress/suits), you will constantly be juggling and losing things. We knew it was going to be small in advance but chose it due to sustainability and location.

I knew this was small but this felt like an overpriced hostel virtue signaling environmental friendliness while cranning as many bodies into a building as possible. The tv in the room is ancient and you cant stream anything, so you are left with 5 channel options. There is no window that opens or AC to cool dowm hot rooms. The only spot to put luggage is in a tiny hallway where they have also decided the bathroom sink should be. The restaurant is a rip off. They literally do nothing to make you feel comfortable or appreicated. I found the staff cold, nobody greets you. Overally, not worth it unless solo travelling with very little luggage and you dont mind stuffy rooms with nothing to watch on tv

Firstly, staff were friendly and helpful. Sadly, the room was not worth the money. It seems the rate for the room was double, yes double, the usual rate because there was a NFL game in Dublin the weekend we stayed. Our stay had to be then due to family commitments. Euro550 per night is excessive and not justifiable.

The location is great. The staff is great. The restaurant was closed by the time we arrived. Our room was awful. Too small - the bed was against three walls so we had to crawl over each other. No easy room storage. Narrow layout. The wall controls for curtains, lighting and heating were very hard to reach and use. The controls did not light up enough to see them well. No hard soap, only liquid soap. Thin towels. They make a big deal about how carbon friendly the hotel is, but our stay of two nights was definitely not worth what we paid. Stay away from this hotel if comfort and value is important to you.
