Central location, clean & comfortable!

Great central location to most things in Dublin. Breakfast buffet was extensive and replenished frequently. Service was friendly and quick. Room/bed was comfortable - a little noisy at times but that was due to our room being on the back side by the garbage bins and at street level. Only caveat is due to the size of the hotel - we had to take two different elevator banks and walk down multiple long hallways to get to our room each time. Also it’s frustrating not to have bottled water in the room - they give you a carafe that you can fill with bathroom water. The “gym” is a joke for the size of the hotel FYI. Overall would stay again.

Wonderful first time in Dublin

The location is great, the staff was very friendly, and the breakfast buffet was really. There were a couple minor issues with housekeeping. We had to ask for sheets a couple times for the pullout bed and we had to go to them for toilet paper a couple times instead of it just being replaced. All in all it was a very positive experience and we would stay there again
