Unbelievably convenient for everything we wanted to do. Our twin room was delightful & quite sufficient for our needs. It was nice to know there was front desk staff on duty 24 hours. Great having the dining room and bar right there for breakfast, dinner, etc when we were too tired to venture out again after sightseeing. Also liked that there were so many quick places to eat or snack right around the corner. Would definitely recommend to friends visiting Dublin

It was very convenient for everything you'd be doing in Dublin. Unfortunately the bathrooms are very out dated. Sometimes we wouldnt have hot water in the shower. There were spots of mold. Also this place does not have AC and the noise outside makes it difficult to sleep with the window open.

Where do I start... antiquated facilities. Bathroom smelled of urine, and the sink was so small and the shower was ancient as well.carpet is dirty in the room, I could go on and on .. the worst part was noise from the alley that we faced as we had to have the window open with no air!

If you want to be close to the action this is a great choice of hotel. Temple bar is across the river and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. We had a car and found safe and secure parking 5 minutes away from the hotel that was very reasonably priced. We could also leave the car there overnight. Room was massive with a big bed and the outside noise isn’t noticeable with the window closed.

We have stay at this hotel when we visit Ireland. The hotel is situated next to O’Connell Bridge, which makes it easy to go where you wish to go, with the buses and trains fairly close. The hotel itself is dated but well up to standards. The staff here are very knowledgeable and quite friendly. They have music and shows every night A wonderful place to stay…

Was a bit sceptical when I saw an open bar at the front of the hotel but once we got to reception we were pleasantly surprised. Rooms were basic but quite comfortable and staff very accommodating. Location is excellent for a Dublin city break.

Even though the bathroom was not updated it served our needs and the room was comfortable. Only ate in the bar a couple of times and the food was good and reasonably priced. Close to some attractions and shopping.

Bed was comfortable and room large. We were very pleased. The location was perfect for seeing the touristy side of Dublin, very walkable. The hotel itself has some dated features (e.g. discolored marble in the bathroom) but the soaking tub was perfect.

I got there hours before check in and was able to drop off my luggage at no cost. The kind receptionist recommended an amazing coffee shop and even gave me directions there. While exploring the city, I received a call from the hotel. I had accidentally left my ID and debit card on the counter at reception. After grabbing it and enjoying a night at the hotel, they booked a taxi for me upon request and helped me
