Was there for a gig taking place at the virgin media park. The hotel is right by the bus stop to from the airport which was about a 20 minute ride from, cost of about 1.50e one way. The bus station and other stops was also literally 5 minute walk from the hotel. The venue itself also a 10 minute bus ride. Walkable from Oliver Plunkett street and the main streets for shopping/pubs etc. I’d contacted the hotel beforehand to see if the pool and other facilities would be accessible before and after checkout as we had early and late flights, and they promptly responded advising they were though we didn’t end up using them. The hotel kept our bags all day before checking in and all day after checking out. Staff were all really friendly and welcoming and helpful. The room was a deluxe double bed and single bed absolutely ideal for 2 friends to share or for couples or a family for an over night or as a base. Would stay again. No problems

I’m not sure if this is one of those places that treats Expedia customers differently but our room seemed run down and off the beaten path. The floor of the shower was yellow and meant to be white, which I found very off putting especially for the cost and comparing it to the other hotels we stayed in for a similar price during our trip. Trying to find our room coming off the elevator was confusing as there were several directional signs but nothing that included our room number. In the room there was a coffee set up but no kettle. If you washed tea you needed to get it through the Nespresso machine and it came out yellow with old coffee grounds included. The parking under the hotel was convenient but be warned that it is a one lane enter/exit and no way of telling if someone is coming up or going down until you are on the ramp. The location is very convenient as it is right next to the Merchant/English Market area so lots of restaurants nearby. However I would not return because the room condition did not seem worth the price when there are other options.
