It was convenient to public transit and dining establishments. Was nice having the breakfast buffet every morning before we took off for the day, saved us a lot of time. However, would have liked rooms to be larger with a dresser for clothing and have had a nicer view. Also, the opportunity to check-in just a little bit earlier then needing to wait till official check-in time.

We have stayed at this hotel for four years now. It is clean, easy walking distance to the Temple Bar clubs is great and the restaurants around the property are more than adequate for food choices. The check in clerk gave us an early check-in room as an upgrade which you really appreciate after flying overnight to get to Dublin. I wish the rooms had small refrigerators. This would be the only thing I would like to see added to the hotel.
