The staff were all kind and helpful. The property is pretty inside. It is not in city center but right near the Aviva sports complex. About a 5 minute walk to the Dart (tram). Only complaint is that our view was the parking lot.

The property was VERY clean, with new bathroom and was very quiet. Staff were polite and attentive. The one negative is that check-in is one or two floors up from where you arrive making baggage awkward and inconvenient. There is a lift but it is WAAAAY down a long narrow hall and around the corner.

Property was very nice and the staff was nice. The tram didn't stop there on the weekend so it was a bit more difficult to get in and out of the city. The bus was fine, just took a bit more time.

Our stay at this hotel was beyond our expectations. Special thanks to Alex for going above and beyond to help us with a late-night booking, and to Eider for making our late-night check-in so pleasant. Marcio was also incredibly helpful and attentive during our stay, which made everything even smoother. Every staff member we interacted with was amazing—from housekeeping and cleaning to the breakfast team (especially Jing) and those working on September 9th. I would highly recommend this place to families, as the staff were incredibly kind and attentive with my toddler. A special mention also to Elsa, who was such a pleasure to talk to and made us feel genuinely welcome.

The hotel was ideal for our one night stay before returning to the UK by ferry. The room was clean, modern and spacious, and we enjoyed an excellent evening meal at the hotel. The big bonus for us was the EV charging which few central Dublin hotels offer. Finding our way around the hotel was fun...it's a warren of corridors which all look similar!

Very good. Only problem being we were in a room on the third floor and the lift wasn’t working. The receptionist obviously didn’t know this…… we are both in our seventies so it was quite difficult getting our luggage to the room

The hotel is very nice! The rooms are a good size and the cleaning staff do an excellent job of taking care of your needs. We loved how close it was to Aviva stadium as we traveled from the USA for an event at the stadium. The Sandymount area is walkable and safe! We enjoyed cocktails in the bar and a delicious meal in the restaurant. There are so many cute nooks and sitting areas to be able to relax and talk with your travel crew without having to hang out in your room. The place is a 10 out of 10.
