The property is located very close to the Temple Bar district, restaurants and pubs, all within easy walking distance. The staff is very friendly, the hotel restaurant is very convenient and has great food. The bar is very nice place to have a drink or two after spending the day in Dublin. If the room was a little bit bigger, the stay would perfect.

Great walkable location, clean premises and wonderful breakfast buffet option .

Fantastic vibe to the city and having all the farmers around made me feel extra safe.
