Quiet, clean and friendly helpful staff

The hotel is not quite central but easy to get too using the Dart trains and close to Aviva stadium if in Dublin for the rugby. About a 20 minute walk to Trinity college or 30 minutes to Templebar or a short taxi ride. The hotel was quiet, clean, with decent sized rooms and bed and very helpful staff. A good cocktail bar is attached. The breakfast was o.k. if not exciting. I would certainly use the hotel again if in Dublin for rugby or business in that part of town.
