9/10 Wonderful! (1,202 reviews)
Aside from the room being small the staff was very friendly and the property was one of the better kept places we have stayed in Dublin. The staff was super friendly and it’s in a very convenient location

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,006 reviews)
We absolutely loved this property! The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was incredible - I’ve never eaten so many scones before! The hotel is charming and very clean. We loved its proximity to DART and quaint neighborhood. We returned very late at night on the light rail and felt totally safe walking in the neighborhood. We would stay here again.
