Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is great. The staff is great. The restaurant was closed by the time we arrived. Our room was awful. Too small - the bed was against three walls so we had to crawl over each other. No easy room storage. Narrow layout. The wall controls for curtains, lighting and heating were very hard to reach and use. The controls did not light up enough to see them well. No hard soap, only liquid soap. Thin towels. They make a big deal about how carbon friendly the hotel is, but our stay of two nights was definitely not worth what we paid. Stay away from this hotel if comfort and value is important to you.

Amazing location, eco-friendly, cute room!

Incredible location, and beautiful, modern, clean, eco-friendly hotel! The main thing that detracted from our stay is that I reported that the shower was clogged & emitted an odor, and that the light flush toilet lever wasn’t operational. Although we we were there for multiple nights and brought up the shower issue twice, and the toilet issue once, they didn’t get fixed. But I doubt that would happen to others, and imagine you’d be happy with your stay. The only other thing is that the rooms are small, particularly on one side of the building. If you lay out your suitcase, there’s not much room to walk around it.

Smart well designed hotel but check room sizes

The room whilst exremely well designed is just too small for couples as double bed against three walls and limited storage. Be aware what room size you go for. Service good and staff friendly

A charming hotel in a super area of Dublin. Yes, some of the rooms are compact but the space is utilised an a good way. The wet room stays the only wet area (often not the case) and there are some lovely touches in the room. The staff are a credit to the hotel and the breakfasts are fabulous, including the huge vegan option. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again.
