Wonderful desk staff. Liam, Sophia, Diyar (sp) & Ashley were wonderfully helpful. The hotels right in the middle of Center City North about two blocks from The Spire, evev Temple Bar and the river were in walking distance.

Will stick to a group hotel
I have stayed in many hotels and I have to say this was the most uncomfortable bed I have slept in. When I sat on the mattress, it sunk so deep I though I was going to end up on the floor. Not sure about the placement of the water glasses on the shelf behind the toilet

The hotel is very convenient for the city centre and the staff are very pleasant and efficient in their jobs . My small double room was perfect for me and had a great shower! The shower door might cause issues for a larger boned person as it a bit narrow,but I was ok. I flagged up an issue with my toilet flush when I arrived and it was quickly sorted (thank you!). Although I am a lone traveller I felt safe .I had seen reviews about being aware of rough sleepers and dodgy characters after dark but I had no problems ( I am used to it, coming from London). I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends if they travel to Dublin and hope to come home stay again one day.

Good location
Room was fine and as expected. Location was good. However night 2 they were having their annual cleaning of the kitchen exhaust system which they would have known well in advance. It was an extremely noisy night until they finished which was around 2:30-2:45 am. No warning was given to guests and no compensation such as 25-50% off for breakfast or dinner etc. This annual disrupting day could be handled so much better

Julia, Loveland

Liked: Staff & service
Room was clean and fairly spacious but the lobby and bar area reeked of smoke. Overall pretty outdated. Not to much to do right in that area but for a quick stop it was fine. The staff at check in were very friendly and helpful. Bartenders seemed to be having a tough time. I would recommend this hotel if you’re only going there to sleep and then leave but if you’re there more than a single night or are basing your stay in Dublin here I definitely would choose somewhere else

The location is superb , right off O’Connell street & close to shopping, dining, attractions. The hotel room is however tiny with narrow hallways & low ceilings. The windows open but just barely , thereby making the facility a little claustrophobic. The amenities in the bathroom are very basic.
