The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to assist me, a wheelchair user. What I didn't like about the property was the small wheelchair lift between the lobby floor and the floor where the lifts are. I found it difficult to maneouvre arouind it. ASlso I didn't like the air conditioning going at full blast making the lobby freezing.

Great location, friendly staff and comfortable beds. Just round the corner from the supermarket too. The hotel also offer a left luggage service meaning you can leave your bag with them even if your room is not ready for check in or leave it for the day when you check out making it easier to explore the city.

Perfect location off of O’Connell Street. So much dining, shopping, and sight seeing excursions available with easy access to public transportation and walking distances. Very accommodating with early check-in and everyone of the hotel staff was very kind, helpful and no request or question wasn’t handled quickly and efficiently. This made for a wonderful stay in Dublin and freed us up to go out and explore Ireland. We loved this hotel and location.
