Right on O’Connell Street. Bus from Julianstown stops right at the building, which is convenient but means you need to keep your windows closed. Breakfast selection and attention to keeping selection full was excellent.

This hotel is in a great location. The staff were all excellent and very helpful. From the receptionists, door staff, bar staff and the breakfast and dining staff. Everyone was helpful. They even asked if we would like to leave our bags after checkout while we went shopping. The price of the hotel was very reasonable, especially for the location. It was very clean, quiet and the beds were very comfortable. I give it top marks and would 100% stay here next time we visit Dublin. Stephen.
