We had a great stay! Room and property were clean. Staff were very helpful and super friendly. Breakfast was buffet style and delicious. The only con I would say was, that it was far from the main attractions in the city center.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely quiet location, but a tad remote from much of the action. No near-by dining other than those in the hotel. Thirty plus minute walk to Temple Bar area, which is where most of the action is. If you are looking for a quiet location, this is a great choice - we slept with our windows open and never heard a sound from the street 2 stories below……

Hotel was convenient as it was where our tour was leaving from but not a central area and there weren’t a lot of options around for dinner and no live music in the area. Breakfast was good though, rooms were nice and staff was helpful

Room and bathroom are ok size. We found the beds hard, and the tv remote batteries died and the toilet would only flush occasionally. It was only one night before an early flight luckily. Not a bad hotel but not the greatest experience for us.
