Above average hotel in all respects.

We had good rooms. Beds were very comfortable, rooms were clean, staff was very helpful. Location was good. Could be a bit of a walk to some places south of the Liffey, but not bad and public transportation is easy and cheap if you plan to use it a lot.

Please train your staff better.

Had to go down twice to get the room key working. At breakfast the lady just came and tried taking my plate away. I had to ask her to stop. Poor staff training. Sorry, we have options.

I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and clean this property was. It’s extremely convenient on the Northside district of Dublin, with nearly everything in walking distance. Plus, a bus literally comes right outside the hotel with travel directly to and from the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful, beds were comfortable, and noise was a minimum. My only complaint was that there was no outlet in the bathroom to plug in the hairdryer… we had to plug into a wall outlet in between the beds. Lol. It was odd, but it still worked! And that’s hardly anything worthy of removing a star when everything else about the stay was perfect. I would absolutely return to the same hotel for any future visits.
