We enjoyed the neighbourhood and the character if the hotel. The staff were pleasant but not as helpful as in other places. We felt like an inconvenience when we had questions. Maybe it was very busy??

We liked that it was close to Sandymount Green and Landsdowne Train Station. Did not like when you would shower water would end up all over the floor due to glass stall design

Beautiful but stuffy

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. Nicely decorated, very clean, staff was super friendly. Would give this a solid 5 stars. Only negative is no room control temp. It was so hot in our room we were both sweating.
