Pleasant stay

We had a terrific time in Dublin! The staff at Reception were exceptional (I believe their names were June, Clara, Alaina, and Olivia)! Super friendly, responsive to all of our questions, and even helped us figure out a hot water issue, like a plumber (thanks Alaina!). The room was a bit tired and worn, but clean. The window didn't close properly and we heard a bit of street noise. The breakfast was tasty. Overall, we had a pleasant stay! TY ladies!

Hotel is in a very good location and staff were welcoming and helpful. Room was clean but in need of a bit of updating - mainly the bathroom. Double glazing in room not good - heard noise from road & church bells every 15 minutes. Looks like the hotel is in process of renovating. Could do with more comfortable pillows.

This hotel's best asset is its location. You are never more than 15 minutes away walking from all the major tourist attractions. The rooms are a bit dated, but for the price and location, it's worth it. It's also a great place to stay if you are watching a gig at Vicar Street.

We had to book this hotel last minute because the airline lost our luggage. They were great to work with and worked very hard to let us be able to check in early since we were stranded at 8am. They let us keep our bags there while they got the room ready and called us as soon as we could check in. Great location, close to Temple Bar but tucked in on a quiet street, very walkable to everything. Will definitely be staying again!

Great spot just across road from Dublin Castle. Easy walk to main attractions. Great places to eat right next door to hotel. Excellent seafood chowder at the pub. Staff were very helpful. Hotel a little tired looking in rooms and hallway but overall a nice place to stay. Can be a little noisey on weekends but to be exact extend for area.
