My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was perfect for exploring Dublin, just a 2 minute walk from eateries and the main shopping area, but the rooms were quite tired with some cleanliness issues. The staff were lovely and friendly, always aiming to please, which made up for some of the shortcomings.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms could do with air conditioning and soundproof windows, plus they felt extremely outdated.

On the bright side, the service from the hotel staff was excellent, especially the night porter. The location was perfect for exploring Dublin, with easy access to both the airport and the city itself. Despite some flaws, the dining experience was incredible, offering great value for money.
