Great location for the city centre. Rooms clean and comfortable. We were a family of four with two teenage children and we had a quad room which worked out well and cheaper than getting two rooms.

Hotel was located 1/2 block off of busy O'Connell (Upper) so was close to many restaurants, the Tourist Info office, and several tourist bus services. The main attractions along the River Liffey are within walking distance.

This is a nice hotel in a pretty busy area. There was a good spot to unload the car. there is a car garage across the street that is pretty expensive but safe and convenient. The staff were all friendly and the restaurant on site was nice for us as we were pretty exhausted by the end of the trip. It was not a bad drive to the airport in the morning either

Location was close to transit and main travel areas of Dublin. Unfortunately the neighborhood was quite rough , dirty and very very loud at night . Someone yelled outside of our window every night till 4 am. Rooms were incredibly cramped, beds were uncomfortable and the shower was so small you could barely move in it. The hotel staff were friendly and we enjoyed the little cafe

The hotel was very convenient to local attractions and restaurants. The on-site restaurant was also convenient and the breakfast was very good and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My only small negative was the layout of the room: the bathroom door banged onto the toilet, the TV was small and old (screen color was off) and the room chairs were uncomfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet for sleeping. I would recommend this hotel for others and return myself.
