Hotel is a little dated but still has charm. Room was clean just a little drainage issue in the shower. Conveniently located next to a quick shop and 15-20 min from the airport. Breakfast was really good. Try the sausage links and crepes đź‘Ś

Really lovely hotel, on the local bus route which is either to the city centre or the airport. The staff were helpful as well, the only gripe we had was that our room occasionally smelt like sewage which was quite unpleasant but we did make the reception team aware of this issue and this may have been because our room was so far away. I would however stay again.

Great hotel, overall. Like most of the non-chain hotels, no A/C. Great pool, sauna, steam room, and weight room. The location was close to public transportation bus stop. Convenience store right next the main entrance. Restaurant needs better hours, but the food was great, when we did choose to eat there.

Arrived early by about 20 min. Was allowed early check in which was appreciated. Then went to our room so we could get ready after a long day of travel. Cleaner proceeded to enter our room without knocking or announcing themselves after 3pm check in time. Walking in on my partner, getting out of the shower and then proceeded to speak to us through the door after already seeing him naked. Spoke to management on duty where they said that they would give us 1 day refund. But provided an email and never received any response as per the manager request to do so. Then, return after a long day out came to find that there is no water in the hotel as well as no internet. The next day, we were heading out for a trip to distillery, to find that our safe was not working. We were compensated by moving our room us without notifying us that they had switched us and we then had to relocate rooms after a long day when we were leaving Dublin at 7am the next morning. Although they tried it was a very disappointing stay. It made my trip in Dublin very uncomfortable.
