Wonderful hotel in an excellent location! Walk to everything yet not right next to the bars. Room was clean and spacious. Delicious buffet breakfast included with lots of extras! Only drawback was loud people coming in at all hours of the night. Not the hotel’s fault but maybe a reminder to guests to be sensitive to their neighbors.

We booked this hotel 8 months ago only to arrive and be told there were no rooms available! We were then taken to a hotel around the corner which was no comparison to the quality. Absolutely disgusted with how they treat customers and will definitely not be using Expedia again.

The staff were excellent, but the issue is very clear for me. Service protocol was not in the interest of the customer. I burned my hand on a faulty room kettle. The steam came out of the handle. I have videos and photos and friends are in agreement. It cost me my sleep & the issue was not resolved with me. They were focused on replacing the kettle and not finding resolution to the heavy negative impact it has on my stay. Offered a burn gel & at one point they "couldn't even see a fault' and questioned how i even lift a kettle! It was demeaning & outrageous. I loved the staff at Reception and (most of the Breakfast staff (supervisor couldn't be less empathetic when i reported the issue with tears on my cheeks) Location great and breakfast very good. but i dont think i could return. Zero closure for me.

Good location. Things can be improved.

We had to wait as check m-in was not until 3pm and the room wasn’t ready. We had an early start at 4am to transfer from Venice to Ireland. We understood so we ate lunch ina nearby establishment, walked around and just when back to the hotel until the room was ready. They were nice to offer if we want our bags to be brought to our rooms but I was puzzled when they said the directions to where the rooms was as it is on the 6th floor. So we have to take the elevator to the 5th floor, get off the elevator the walk right then “take another set of stairs” and that’s where i the rooms was. A heads up would’ve been nice during reservation process or check in as I was traveling with my mom, we had two check-ins and I was also traveling with my mom. At the end of the day I would not would want to have to climb a set of stairs to get to my room. I would not have chosen this hotel if the room I chose mentioned this particular detail. Don’t get me wrong the room was great. Though unfortunately for a balcony room, the balcony was not accessible. Another mishap to be found out when I got in the room. Another quirk of mine is that better handling with the customer, I appreciate the greetings but when I just got out of the hotel to get something and I come back, I got asked if I’m staying in the hotel. It just shows lack of attention to detail as there were multiple people in the door. I didn’t appreciate that.

This place was wonderful! I would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Dublin. It was very centrally located and several tours meet right outside the hotel. It is near many restaurants and walkable to public transportation. The breakfasts were delicious and the staff were very accommodating. I will definitely be staying here if i visit again.

Very enjoyable.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Dublin. I booked this hotel ages ago, and got a really good deal, because we were going to a gig at the Three Areana (which we walked to and from). The double room was very comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was very nice with lots to choose from in a self service style. The bar was nice, if a little pricey, but all in all an enjoyable stay.
