We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the Dublin airport. It is more of a pub with a hotel rather than a hotel with a pub. That said, the hotel was very nice. Absolutely beautiful bathroom and wonderful service from the manager. Our room was a little odd because it had a skylight and no windows, but it was comfortable and we slept very well in beds with excellent linens. It would’ve been nice to have been able to use the elevator rather than having to take our suitcases up one flight of stairs, but it appears that the elevator is reserved for disabled guests. The parking out front is very minimal, but the manager is happy to give you a permit to use if you can get a space. Otherwise, it’s easy to park on the street and quite safe. We enjoyed having a drink and some snacks in the pub in the evening before retiring to our room. The service in both the pub and hotel were excellent!

We had a pleasant stay.

Great value for the money, room was okay not great not poor. Clean and modern bathroom, mattress a little tired, deck outside window rotten to the point of falling down, but you could not get out there so no big deal. We had a pleasant stay.

Everything for our stay was absolutely great. The only reason I gave a 4 star for customer service was bc it was a little standoff-ish at first until they got to talking to us after a bit. Wasn’t sure right away how our stay was going to be perceived. Other than that everyone was kind and helpful
