The property is located right in the heart of downtown but off of a quiet road. We used the garage for parking but there was a ton of street parking! The hotel is beautifully updated and the twin room is thoughtfully designed for two individuals. There was even a TV remote for each bed! Id stay here again and recommend to anyone!

This was a lovely place to land for our stay in Dublin. We made a new friend in Simon, who delivered with his offer to help us enjoy our stay (more water? Sure. Taxi? You got it!) We walked to the river, the bay, the Temple Bar, Guinness Storehouse, churches and all the pubs. Room was well attended, clean - and hit all marks of cool, dark and quiet. A perfect home base for our stay. On site restaurant looks amazing! Already looking to our return.

Really lovely hotel in a great location

Really nice hotel, great location. Unfortunately no rooms were available ahead of check in time but that's only a nice to have and they very quickly offered to store our bags. The communal area and rooms are all very fresh, clean and comfortable and it's clearly been well maintained. Would definitely recommend and will stay again
