Dingy room, disfunctional shower and dirty bathroom. It’s in a dreadful area, parked across the street was a soup kitchen and about 50 down and outs queuing for food and locals screaming at them. The carpark is a distance away from the hotel and I wouldn’t want anyone I cared about walking to the hotel from there, day or night. I will NEVER go back and couldn’t wait to leave.

It’s was quite modern only reason it wasn’t a 5 star visit as the gym was pretty small and there wasn’t a pool or a smart tv just little something to kill sometime when you’re back at the hotel for a few hours

I don't get to see my son very often as we lead busy lives. This was to catch up and relax. The hotel is ideally situated just off O'Connell St. The staff are friendly and professional. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is great value. Will visit again hopefully!

This was my second time staying there and at Christmas. The hotel is warm cosy inviting. Friendly staff... Room bit small since the upgrade but for the few nights stay it was grand.

The staff are amazing. Helpful, friendly, and will solve problems professionally. During our stay a riot broke out in Dublin city center. The hotel did a good job keeping us safe, comfortable, and informed. They helped us make our flight when no public transport was running. I would recommend staying here.

Disappointing
We stayed here last December and it was very good. This time was a bit disappointing. The first morning we were woken at eight by hammering and drilling through the wall. We were in an assessable room (that we did not require or request). The shower chair and curtain made having a shower quite awkward.

Very over priced.
Very over priced. Room was small and stuffy for what had been described as a room for up to 4 people. No plug sockets by the beds. Very small and thin towels. WiFi didn't work. TV didn't work. Staff were not that helpful. First person on reception said our booking didn't exist, second person found the booking. Overall they charged a hell of a lot for a poor quality room.
