This hotel is beautiful, staff was great, and location was good. It is in a part that gets traffic in the mornings due to people going to work, but after the morning rush it dies down. Would definitely stay here again, it did not disappoint.

Very clean hotel with a fantastic friendly staff. Its location allows for walking to many eateries and shops. Restaurant is also available on premises. Check in was fast and convenient. They even allow us to check in early as we took the red eye flight in to Dublin and was in desperate need of a Power Nap. I would definitely recommend this hotel when you consider visiting Dublin.
