Welcoming Front Desk staff, clean room with big towels. As a returning guest, I received a complimentary upgrade to a bigger room, with a sweet amenity, and access to the VIP lounge. Room rates are great, location is close to local train and about six minute walk to Grafton St. I’d rather gate keep this property but it’s too good not to share.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It was very clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff was very accommodating (Mercial kept the room clean and stocked with clean towels. Simon gave us recommendations and warmth upon arrival) The location is perfect as it is safe but still in centre city and near trains and buses. Thank you so much for everything and we will be back!

Great hotel. Lovely rooms. The bar was lvery relaxing. Breakfast was good with a good selection of hot and cold. This was a paid extra though not free as expedia suggested but good value none the less. Hotel was beautiful and staff particularly Maria in the resturant who took the time to get to know us remembering us on the second night with a warm welcome. Highly recommended.
