Don’t know whose fault it was, mine, hotels.com or Zanzibar but the picture was misleading. I thought the room I booked had a hot plate, but it didn’t; it had a nice oven/microwave, a kettle and a toaster. Would have liked more dishes. Great location. Great secure wifi. Great shower. Very close to Marks & Spencer’s food hall & other attractions. Great staff, thanks to Sylvia & Kirstie for all your assistance. Nice coffee shop.

This is a nice hotel in a great location to walk around in Dublin. The rooms are large and modern. The shared areas are cool and comfy. I found the rooms too dark to be comfortable doing any work and I did not appreciated the lack of room services and amenities. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

The hotel was in a great location, easy to walk to almost everything. Coffee shop downstairs was great. Check in experience could have been better. Paid for early check-in at 2 PM, wasn’t able to check in until after three. Bed was comfortable, but pillows were too hard, and there was a duvet, which was far too warm for the weather. Difficult to figure out how to change the air conditioning setting.

Didn't realize there was no maid service for the length of our stay. So we asked for towels after day 1 and the front desk staff said they would be sent up. It never happened. I asked again a day later and they said they would be sent up right away. Once again, no towels showed up. Also the lighting in the room was insufficient to see anything. And finally, no power in the washroom to plug in shavers in order to shave.

Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Location is excellent. I did find it difficult to keep the room cool (but I also like it really cool while sleeping). I was disappointed to not get a room with a washer/dryer. That was my main reason for booking this location given that I was one week into a 2 week trip when I arrived. Apparently you have to specifically request one when you arrive (so note that if it's important to you). They did have laundry facilities in the basement but was expensice to use.
