The hotel was centrally located to haymarket and the capital theatre. Parking was close by also. The room was vlean and tidy. The only downfall was the beds. Way to soft and bouncy, firmer matress' would be better.

A newly refurbished hotel. Great pricing and an amazing central location. Stayed in a queen room which was compact bur perfectly functional and clean and tidy. Rooms were nice and quiet. Bed and pillows comfortable. A supermarket, China Town and Paddy's market on your doorstep and a short walk from central station. Friendly staff on check in. Will return.

I have stayed at the ultimo over a dozen times over the last 12 or so years. This time it seemed everything was super noisy. The room next to us had 1am showers and the sound of the water and pipes was so loud through the walls. Everything just seemed amplified in our room and I’ve never had a noise problem before. Definitely wouldn’t stay in room 213 again. The location is wonderful. The hotel is truly in the ideal spot with market city opposite.

Clean room, helpful staff, central location and easy to find. However there was poor soundproofing, and the sound really carried from the streets, with lots of crowds chatting into the early hours of the morning.

Overall, our stay was satisfactory. Best part of our stay was the close access to Paddy's market, tourist attractions & public transport & a multitude of eateries (You can't go hungry 😁). We either walked or used public transport during our stay. We parked our car at Wilson's parking (220m away) for our entire stay as there is no onsite parking. We were surprised at the size of our Queen Room (10sq.m) but will go for an Ultimo Studio (26sq.m) next time. "En-suite" is a bit awkward with the shower & toilet separated by a wall but we managed.
