The property is located very close to the Temple Bar district, restaurants and pubs, all within easy walking distance. The staff is very friendly, the hotel restaurant is very convenient and has great food. The bar is very nice place to have a drink or two after spending the day in Dublin. If the room was a little bit bigger, the stay would perfect.

Great walkable location, clean premises and wonderful breakfast buffet option . First time in Dublin, I stayed here with my son and friends for 2 nights and during our stay O’Connell Street was closed off due to the protests. Fantastic vibe to the city and having all the farmers around made me feel extra safe.

Check-in was extremely quick, as they had the keys ready for all reservations. The location was directly off O’Connell street with grocery close by. Price was reasonable. Our stay was fairly quiet, however being close to O’Connell provided for outside noise with people yelling and sirens. We would stay again.
