9/10 Wonderful! (102 reviews)

The staff showered us with hospitality our whole stay. Everyone greeted us with a smile and a “good morning/afternoon/evening”. Location is great, they offer a great breakfast buffet at the hotel and it’s right next to Grove Road which has amazing food as well. Gym was small but has everything you need, plus it was never super packed. There’s a pub right next to the hotel so you don’t need to travel far to get a genuine pub experience walked a quick 25mins to the Guinness Brewhouse which didn’t feel like a walk since there was so much to do on the way there. The Temple Bar was around a 20min walk which again, isn’t bad. Definitely would stay here again.

Not worth the price. The bathroom is so small and there is no where to put your toiletries when you are in the shower. And the glass partition is so small that water soaks the room. You have to move the coffee maker off the shelf and hold it to use it. Nice and hip but I regret spending that much money on an okay room.
