Excellent location if you want to walk to pubs or take a bus. It's literally on the Liffy, in the middle of all the sights in Dublin. The hostess, Anita was nice enough to move us from the third (4th in the U.S.) to the first (second in the U.S.) floor when my wife felt it was too far up with her new knee. The room had a small problem with the sink, but we made it work. Unfortunately, there is a bus stop near the front of the building, so much of the night there was noise from the street. (which we porbably would not have heard from the third floor) But the rooms were a delight, period decorations, great shower once we learned how to tweak the temperature the right way, and again, the perfect location.
