A fabulous hotel

A little more expensive than some Dublin hotels, but so worth it! It's not a long walk from Connelly train station, but because my partner has mobility issues, we took a taxi (€9) The hotel is in the middle of the city, close to many shops, bars and restaurants. Beside it, there are two "Hop on/off" bus companies - our favourite way of viewing anywhere we go. Check-in was simple- I had already given our details via their website. Our twin bedroom was great- very spacious. The beds were extremely comfortable. There was an air-conditioning system, which we gladly used.The bathroom, again, was very spacious - the shower really good. [Not the hotel's fault.. we had asked for a room close to the lift, which we did, but some of the clients 'forgot' others may be asleep when they were going to their rooms late at night]. Breakfast was absolutely fabulous! So much choice, everything so tasty! The dining room staff were great. Would we go again? Definitely!!
