Overall it’s fine. Our room was clean and it was quiet. The leisure center looks far more luxury in the photographs than the reality, and they also charge you for swim caps. There were about two dozen screaming children, which isn’t the fault of the hotel, but we ended up just returning to our room instead of attempt the pool. Dinner was fine. Nothing amazing or special. Overall the place was more rundown than advertised, which is probably why there are so many poor reviews. It’s not at all like the pictures. That said, we didn’t have issues with car boots, noise bleed, or uncleanliness like other reviews state. We wouldn’t return though.

Stayed for 1 night during a business trip. The hotel is clean and well decorated. It was having renovations done at the time but did not hinder or detract from the hotel in any way. Food in the bistro was great. All the staff were polite and professional. Already looking to return for a pleasure visit.

Excellent choice for Croke Park gig.
Stayed here for AC/DC concert. Place was full of fans on night of concert and not cheap...but nowhere in Dublin was on the night! Every single member of staff that we interacted with was genuinely friendly and helpful, so much so that in the future, if I am heading to Croke Park, this will be my hotel of choice. Being only 40 minutes walk away is pretty handy as well.

Staff were amazing, couldn’t be more helpful. Food was top class. 5 min walk to the bus route for the airport. Only negatives… the tap on the bath was temperamental and the view from the room window was a not that attractive.
