Would highly recommend this hotel

We really enjoyed this hotel. The location was fantastic however our bedroom faced the main street which was noisy late into the evenings - people having fun and the street sweeper that goes through the night. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the staff was great. We would stay here again however request a room that is not facing the street. We really enjoyed the Legends Pub and the show is well worth it....sit in the pub and the show is free...lots of fun.

Great Location

The hotel was within walking distance of most of the big attractions in Dublin. The staff was ok, and the room was clean and comfortable. We thought there was wireless in the hotel, but that wasn't the case. We could not even get ours to work in the lobby, but we were able to find coffee houses where we could use our internet. The bar was nice, and the dancing show each night was fun. However, the customer sevice is somewhat lacking when compared to U.S. standards. One of the best things was that we were able to check in early, 1pm, their time.

Just around the corner of the hotel is a nice little shop called "The Queen of Tarts." The food was good for breakfast or lunch and it is inexpensive.

Great Location

The location was great. No more than a 10 minute walk from Airlink bus stop from airport, across the street from the Castle & just a couple of blocks from Christ Church Cathedral. Entertainment at the bar nightly.

Hotelli parhaalla paikalla

Hotelli oli parhaalla mahdollisella paikalla keskellä Dublinia. Maukas aamiainen ja mukava henkilökunta. Huone oli siisti ja viihtyisä.

Bra beläget mellanklasshotell

Om man - som vi gjorde - bor på översta våningen, längst bort från huvudgatan är läget helt perfekt. Man bor "mitt i smeten" med massor av sevärdheter och aktiviteter in på knuten. Baren Legends ligger i anslutning till hotellet och underhållningen, maten och personalen är av mycket hög klass. Eftersom isolerade väggar och fönster inte är Irländska byggnaders starka sida kan storstadens ljud vara mycket störande om man bor närmare gatan och puben och utan flanellpyjamas o sockor under täcket kan alla tider på året förutom sommaren bli en mycket kylig upplevelse.

Att få uppleva Riverdance i miniatyr till ett mycket bra pris (om man köper kvällsmaten) var en fantastisk upplevelse.

Loistovalinta

Viihtyisä hotelli loistavalla paikalla keskellä kaikkea nähtävää -kävelymatkan päässä "must see" -kohteista. Ystävällinen ja palvelualtis henkilökunta!!! Hinta-laatusuhde erinomainen, suosittelen lämpimästi!

Pennies -shoppailu(helvetti:-) vaatteita-kenkiä-laukkuja Naisväen paratiisi, edulliset hinnat, 2 liikettä, pienempi pääkadun varrella Millenium-neulan vierellä, isompi poikkikadun (-kävely) varrella muutaman sadan metrin päässä. Luottokortti ja aikaa kannattaa varata mukaan!

Sehr zentral

Super zentrale Lage! Frühstück und Pub/Show im Hotel authentisch und gut. Einzig die schwer befahrene Strasse vor dem Hotel war etwas laut für mich. Den ganz Jungen wird das aber nichts ausmachen. Dusche war ein bisschen desolat, aber für diese tolle Lage darf man etwas in Kauf nehmen. Wir hatten ein sehr grosses Zimmer (311) , Kaffee im Zimmer. Für Pubferien zu empfehlen.

Gutes Stadthotel

Ein altes Gebäude, dadurch kann es zu Lärmbelästigung durch stark knarrende Böden geben. Gute Lage für Stadtbesichtigung (Nähe zu Hopon/Hopoff Busstation)
