Nice central location on north side of river. Easily walkable to all major sites of Dublin. Area outside was busy but not crowded. Lovely room and comfy bed. Plenty of space for the two of us. Room clean and not too hot, but warm enough. Staff we spoke to all very friendly. Decent selection at breakfast, the sausages were gorgeous! Would recommend and thank you for a great stay.

Hotel is in a GREAT central location for Dublin City center and sights like, temple bar, trinity college etc. recommend the hop on hop off bus services, goes past all the sights and each ticket is valid for 24 hours from purchase or you can upgrade for longer. Also recommend Murray’s bar next to the hotel. great food, Irish bands and Irish dancers. But you will probably need to book a table as it is popular!

The hotel was new and well-maintained; however, our room was on the 1st floor, and we had to deal with a very loud nightclub right next door that felt like it was in our room. The parking is also really inconvenient and far away and there’s nowhere to pull up to unload. Also, the lights in our room didn’t work until we put our key card in a slot on the wall (no one told us this was required, and being American, we aren’t aware if this is a standard in Irish hotels). It was fine for one night, but I wouldn’t return, especially for an extended stay.

Would absolutely stay again.
Such a great stay. We only stayed one night but the staff here were so so friendly and accommodating. We had some requests which they gladly accommodated. The included breakfast was great - hot cooked options, cereal, fruit, good coffee, pastries etc. The lobby area is very inviting and a nice place to hang out pre or post check in/out. The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring Dublin. I thought it might be quite loud, but with the windows closed it is really very quiet. Room and bathroom was very spacious and clean. Overall very impressed on the quality for the price.

Hotel clean and located centrally. Only drawback would have been that the food at breakfast wasn't warm enough due to being stored in heated bowls. Otherwise all good.
