We stayed at this hotel for almost a week with small children. Room was spacious and clean - very easy to get to anywhere we needed to go - we didn't need a car, just walked around. The swimming pool is clean and open in the evenings, so we could take kids swimming. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel to families. We would def come back when we are in Dublin.

Don't

Don't expect a good night stay. There is no air flow, window may open but there was smoke and/or street noise. Rooms are noisy, hot, and the toilet tank overflowed.

Good location and great pool for families.

Room was dated. Tiles loose in floor in bathroom. Stains on carpet. No air conditioning. Terrible smell of urine when entering outside area of hotel. Beds comfortable . Cleaning staff were great. Manager in restaurant for breakfast was very dismissive of staff. Could have been more friendly to the staff. Apart from that we liked the hotel and would stay again.

Major construction on site

There is major construction going on right now. While it is possible to open the slider door about 6 inches it is not worth it due to the sound of jackhammers and the exhaust of the machines coming in.

Overall a good hotel albeit currently undergoing construction for a new Restaurant. The rooms albeit spacious, could do with a refurbishment as well. During the stay, there is no aircon in the room. The small fan in the room would not really provide cold air and the room felt a bit stuffy. Furthermore, maintenance should adjust the door hinges, as they slam almost all night. A felt pad would stop the bathroom door from banging as well. The Sinks were all blocked, for both the bathtub and sink. Surely housekeeping would see this? Spa facilities were OK as well, even though none adheres to the signs. We had kids in the jacuzzi, even though none under 16 should be in there. The opening times for the Spa are also fairly short and can only swim until 18:30 which means after a long day in the office, I could not swim in the evening or very early mornings. Overall, an OK stay.

Property was very clean, very well located to restaurants and dockside. Staff was really nice. The one thing is, it's kind of an old building so there's no ventilation or air conditioning, but the balcony door is open enough to provide some air in the room has a fan. I know historically there has been no need for air conditioning, but these days there is
