The location was perfect for walking to stores, restaurants, tram and public parks. There is a club in the basement and garden, so it is loud at night with the beat of music. We knew this ahead of time because of reviews, but we tried ear plugs. They didn't work. Also, there is no air conditioning in the rooms, which are very small. Just know what you're getting into with the noise at night. We didn't experience the restaurant. Dublin is a very friendly city and we felt completely safe walking, even in the evening.
