Reviews and Ratings
Despite being in the heart of the old town, the hotel is spacious and comfortable, but noise from the elevator can be bothersome during late evening/night hours. The thermostat helped manage the cold, and heating can be manually overridden after 10pm.
The hotel's location is fantastic, right at the doorstep of the town center, making it a great base to explore day and night. The rooms are really well designed and spotlessly clean, although they can get quite noisy due to the pubs and street performers outside. The service is friendly and genuine. However, the dining options are limited and not up to standard, especially for the price.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Dublin's vibrant nightlife and shopping areas. The newly renovated rooms, however, were quite basic and noisy due to the street activities. The friendly staff were a highlight, but the dining options left something to be desired.
The hotel is perfect for those who want a brilliant location in the heart of the city, despite the occasional noise from nearby pubs. The rooms are spotless with lovely large windows looking out onto the street, though it can get quite hot at times with no visible air conditioning. The service is friendly and helpful, but there were some issues with food preparation and local event knowledge. The location is superb, just minutes away from major attractions and shopping areas, making it ideal for exploring the city, though being in a non-3 pin country may pose some minor inconveniences. The facilities are basic but sufficient for a short stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were modern, large, and tastefully decorated with very comfortable beds, but the lack of air conditioning made it hot at times. Despite that, the room was clean, comfortable, and the staff was friendly.
The hotel offers very modern and comfortable rooms in a great location. The all-inclusive breakfast may not suit those seeking healthy options or a continental breakfast. The room size was a bit small with limited wardrobe space, but the property is brand new, very clean, and well-decorated throughout.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, but there was a mix-up with our booking that led to us being offered bunk beds instead. The room overall was clean and cozy, despite the cold weather and inconsistent air conditioning during my stay. The service was warm and welcoming, though there were some hiccups like the wrong delivery of champagne and balloons. The location was central, close to popular areas like Grafton Street and Temple Bar, but the small breakfast area caused some inconvenience. Overall, there were ups and downs throughout my stay.
