It's charming full of character - great location and lovely staff. It was a bit difficult to get to room, up and down stairs and around corners- like a rabbit's warren- but overall very wonderful place to stay. Great location m, history and good value.

An older hotel with charm in its quirks. The bed was small but quite comfy. But given it’s an older hotel, the room was a bit run down. But again, still cozy & comfortable and to be expected. Outside of the room, the halls and general areas are super cute!! The staff was pretty dismissive all the way around, so we’d likely try another hotel next time.

The Club House is just darling. The room was impeccably renovated and smelled fantastic. The stairs can be a little daunting, but the room was lovely, the AC worked great, and the water pressure and hot water was fantastic. The front desk and restaurant staff were all so friendly! Loved the dinner I had upon arrival and the traditional Irish breakfast was very tasty. Last, the location is really close to the castle and other sites, the downtown shops and pubs, and the bus stop from Dublin. I couldn’t be more pleased with my stay and would highly recommend!
