Super efficient staff and very quick check-in. Family room very small and then you add in bags etc cramped. Bathroom needs an update. Breakfast was cold and some items just couldn’t be ate. Always stay in this hotel when spending time in Dublin but I feel things have slipped a little

Don't stay in summer!

Uncomfortable due to no air con & window restricted to opening 1inch. Extremely poor shower going hot/cold with terrible water pressure. Otherwise, clean, nice food, nice staff but the focus here is on high turnover of tours/visitors from the US/Europe. Not returning guests!
