Rooms were very well equipped, shower was amazing. The food on Laylas for breakfast and dinner was top quality and the basement cinema, though not as fancy as I'd expected was a definite plus point. The surrounding area was quieter than Dublin city centre, but location wise it was definitely another plus point, loads of really good eating places nearby as well. All on all definitely would recommend very highly.
