9.2/10 Wonderful! (2,185 reviews)

Hotel was clean and staff were friendly. Location was great. In walking distance of most pubs, restaurants, and activities. I liked that they monitored who came in the hotel after 9 or 10 at night. It made us feel safer. Breakfast was also great. Finding the parking garage was a bit tricky but glad the had it available. Would stay here again.

8.8/10 Excellent! (308 reviews)

Location was amazing. But, the thermostat beeped 3 times every few minutes for days. The shower was tiny, I kept turning the water off with my elbow while showering. If you took a shower early in the morning to catch a full day tour the water was not hot. Later in the day it was very hot. When I booked I read that the rooms had washers and dryers. When we checked in we found out only 2 had them and it wasnt ours. We did laundry at a laundromat that ended up costing a $100 plus a taxi to and from. The refrigerator scraped the floor everytime we opened it. It wasn't quiet.

8.4/10 Very Good! (245 reviews)

The room was okay, it had a bad smell (I think it was the carpet) but we got used to it. There was only bath towels, no hand towels. The view was amazing. The restaurant downstairs was amazing. We did not spend a lot of time in the hotel, and more in the surrounding area, so that smell did not take the score down too low :)

7.8/10 Good! (14 reviews)

Great location close to all city centre attractions and bus routes. We had 2 bedroom apartment which had everything we needed. There were only 2 of us - would be ok for a family with small children but 6 adults would be bit tight. At £350 per night, it’s not cheap and there’s not a pretty view from the apartment. But it’s not that type of break. Check-in was fine - be prepared for 15 minute walk from key office to the apartment. Strongly recommend asking people for recommendations such as food, bars, buses, etc. Irish we met were fun and fabulous. And probably the best food in any city - go for independent cafes and restaurants. Plenty of great pubs to choose from (dont stick to Temple Bar).
