We arrived in Dublin early morning on a red eye flight from Halifax. Quick taxi ride brought us directly to the hotel. We knew it was too early to check in but we wanted to drop our luggage off while we started our tour of the city. We were welcomed by Dawid and the front desk agents were so kind. They told us to come back after lunch as our rooms would be available by then. They even offered us breakfast - which was greatly welcomed after our flight. Hotel was so quiet and comfortable. We had heard (from other people) afterwards that area on O'Connell St was a bad area and unsafe at night. We didn't find get that feeling at all. We would definitely recommend it and stay there again!

In the heart of downtown. Excellent hotel that is very clean, room very comfortable, breakfast excellent. loads of eating places and pubs around. Shopping is super close. This is the first time we stayed here in this hotel and it will not be the last time. The staff are super friendly and if you feel peckish, they have food you can order and a full bar as well. Wifi is great and it is very secure and quiet inside the rooms. A great experience.
