The property is located very close to the Temple Bar district, restaurants and pubs, all within easy walking distance. The staff is very friendly, the hotel restaurant is very convenient and has great food. The bar is very nice place to have a drink or two after spending the day in Dublin. If the room was a little bit bigger, the stay would perfect.

Hotel was nice, staff were helpful, and bar was open until midnight. I knew the room would be small, but was not prepared for how small. Ultimately, that's on me. Easy walk to City Centre and great restaurants.

Great walkable location, clean premises and wonderful breakfast buffet option . First time in Dublin, I stayed here with my son and friends for 2 nights and during our stay O’Connell Street was closed off due to the protests. Fantastic vibe to the city and having all the farmers around made me feel extra safe.

Pretty good stay all around, the location is very central and easy to get about. We had a couple issues with the bathroom sink not draining and it wasn't the biggest of rooms, but honestly, it served us well. A couple amenities like a small fridge, additional toiletries and towels, would be really nice. All in all, would stay again.
