Great place to stay while in Dublin and exploring close by! Clean rooms, friendly staff, great spa! We used a taxi/uber to go to and from Dublin centre and left the car at the hotel. It was super reasonable and much easier than navigating a parking spot. Great hotel with big ambiance and character.

I stayed a week at the hotel. The room was large, the pool was very well maintained and the onsite restaurants were delicious. The only downside was that the fan in our room was not able to be toggled on and off by us, but was part of an entire wing's exhaust system. That and the weekend we were there there was a pipe issue and a faint smell of sewage wafted about the entrance. It was Easter Sunday weekend. The good was that the front staff was very attentive, the afternoon tea was delicious, the pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room were clean and well maintained. I will book this location again if I go back to Ireland. It is close to a bus stop with several lines and about 20 minutes from downtown. We used a bus pass for most of the activities.

It was very easy to get to from the bus/public transit. The people were so kind at the front desk. There is a convenience store a few feet away but it closes kind of early so go get provisions there! The bar is lovely and the beer is yummy! The hot tub/sauna was excellent, I walked into the pool area and there was a water aerobics class occurring. You have to purchase a can for in the water, and be sure to bring your own water bottle! I loved the room, there was a fan and a space heater along with a hot water kettle in the room. The beds were beyond comfortable and I slept soundly! Totally worth it to go!
