The hotel was lovely and very clean. The staff were accommodating and friendly. We had a pretty comfortable stay here. The two downsides were the beds were really stiff and not that comfy, and it’s about a 30min walk to the main areas of Dublin which got a bit annoying even after only staying two nights.
