Great room overlooking the Dublin sign, good location for walking around the city with pubs and restaurants nearby. If you like shopping all store are within the surrounding area. The aircoach from the airport stops right outside as well which was another bonus. Staff and accomadation was excellent including the breakfast buffet.

Room was clean and as expected. The service was very good, with the staff recognizing we were part of the loyalty scheme. (It’s not the primary hotel chain we use, so we don’t have many points) As checkin was delayed, they provided us with a discount voucher for a nearby cafe, which I thought was a nice touch. As there is no Uber in Dublin, the staff organized an early morning taxi to the ferry, which was ready and waiting for us on check out. I have to say, the service was way better than the chain we usually use…
