The neighborhood is a bit dodgy, but the hotel is very nicely appointed, there is a good Irish bar next door, and it is a fairly quick walk into the city center. For the price it was good value.

Great room overlooking the Dublin sign, good location for walking around the city with pubs and restaurants nearby. If you like shopping all store are within the surrounding area. The aircoach from the airport stops right outside as well which was another bonus. Staff and accomadation was excellent including the breakfast buffet.

Staff were amazing- friendly and very helpful. Room was lovely, very clean and quiet. Perfect location for getting around, the airport bus stopped 50 yards from the entrance to hotel couldn’t have been easier. Great value would definitely stay again 😃
