We stayed for one night while attending Oasis in croke park. The hotel gave cute gift bags to all the guests attending the concert. Really cute touch. Croke park is walkable from the hotel. Hotel is Dublin City centre. Walkable to shops and restaurants and city centre tourist attractions. Rooms are basic but have a smart tv. Beds were comfortable. Room size was good. Excellent choices available for breakfast. Breakfast was included in the price. Very good value for a city centre hotel. Will definitely stay again.

This hotel was excellent, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay great. The only slight negative is breakfast wasn’t amazing, but there was plenty of choice to find something you wanted, and it was good enough to get you going for the day.
