Great stay in Dublin

We had a great time. The staff was excellent, very friendly. Breakfast had many options. The location is great-close enough to everything, but not in the middle of it. Very walkable to all attractions.

Nice central location on north side of river. Easily walkable to all major sites of Dublin. Area outside was busy but not crowded. Lovely room and comfy bed. Plenty of space for the two of us. Room clean and not too hot, but warm enough. Staff we spoke to all very friendly. Decent selection at breakfast, the sausages were gorgeous! Would recommend and thank you for a great stay.

Hotel is in a GREAT central location for Dublin City center and sights like, temple bar, trinity college etc. recommend the hop on hop off bus services, goes past all the sights and each ticket is valid for 24 hours from purchase or you can upgrade for longer. Also recommend Murray’s bar next to the hotel. great food, Irish bands and Irish dancers. But you will probably need to book a table as it is popular!

The hotel was new and well-maintained; however, our room was on the 1st floor, and we had to deal with a very loud nightclub right next door that felt like it was in our room. The parking is also really inconvenient and far away and there’s nowhere to pull up to unload. Also, the lights in our room didn’t work until we put our key card in a slot on the wall (no one told us this was required, and being American, we aren’t aware if this is a standard in Irish hotels). It was fine for one night, but I wouldn’t return, especially for an extended stay.
