Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Centrally located, everything was walkable. Quiet, but some nights there was music from bar down the street and it’s close to Christ church so you do hear the church bells (I found it very nice). The noise didn’t bother us at all, nor impact our sleep. The superior twin room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was everything we needed! I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great rooms albeit a bit dated. Room was very quiet despite being very close to temple bar area. Like most places in Ireland there was no ac so the fan was a must even in September. Was a bit noisy with the window open but once closed slept quite comfortably
