“Good Dublin Base”

Stayed at this hotel a couple of times, 10 to 15 minute walk to city centre and 10 minute walk to RDS (Dublin Horse Show ground). Food in adjacent bar has vastly improved since last visit. Only gripe is lack of air con which means you have to leave the window open and it is rather noisy

“Jederzeit gerne wieder!”

Das Hotel liegt zwar nicht unmittelbar im Stadtkern, ist aber mit dem Linienbus (Haltestelle direkt am Hotel) oder mit der Dart sehr gut und schnell zu erreichen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit; die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Ein klasse Hotel für den nächsten Aufenthalt in Dublin!

“Excellent Value Hotel”

Excellent value with good, clean rooms and friendly staff. Either 15 minute walk to Grafton St/Temple bar or two stops on nearby Dart station (200m)

“Great Hotel with Parking”

This hotel was very nice, rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. There also was onsite complimentary parking which is not easy to find in Dublin. Hotel is located in a quiet part of town with a bit of walk to pubs and attractions but we did not mind the walk.

“great hotel-excellent pub”

The staff was so friendly, kind, and helpful. We arrived in Dublin at 11am, and did not expect our room to be ready, we just went there to store our suitcases so we could walk around Dublin for the day. Lo and behold, both our rooms were ready and we checked in early and caught a nap before spending the afternoon touring. A great pub is connected to the hotel. It is within walking distance of city centre, and the desk clerk was so helpful in assisting us with maps and bus routes. And it's far from the noise of the temple bar area.

“Very happy!”

I was very happy with my recent stay. I found the hotel very clean and quiet. The rooms were very comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I was very impressed with the level of security, which required you to swipe a room key before you could press your the button for your floor in the elevator. One note: DO NOT believe the hotel staff when they tell you that it is a ten minute walk into town. At a good clip, it is 20-25 minutes, but it is an easy walk with lots to see. However, there is a DART station nearby which will get you there for 1.40 Euro. I would definitely stay in this hotel again and recommend it to friends and family.

“Clean, Quiet, Nearby Train Station”

Excellent value, good service, and well furnished modern rooms. Nearby DART station for easy access to City Centre and coastal towns. Good food in on-site restaurants/pub and also nearby Schoolhouse Hotel Pub. Amusing TV channel with tropical fish and classical music. Best connections with Dublin Airport via AirCoach (drops you off two blocks away) vs AirLink (a much longer walk). Suggested activity if you wake up too early due to jet lag - ride the DART train south for the sunrise along the coast then back north. This local commuter train in clean and safe and opens several hours before any museums/tours even on weekends. They have a one-day unlimited service pass for a reasonable cost.

“Comfortable hotel, would definitely use again as it's close to RDS Stadium and Lansdown Road”

Comfortable and clean. Staff are helpful and pleasant. The hotel itself is only a few years old. Nice security option we liked, which we haven't seen anywhere else, was that the lift wouldn't go up unless you swiped your room key into the slot in the lift. Handy free carpark for guests under the building.
