Expect to carry your luggage up narrow stairs. Typical Irish accommodations with no air or fans, so if you are there during a heat wave, expect to sweat.

funcional pero caro

Funcional porque solo ibamos a dormir. Es un hotel de baja calidad y viejillo aunque estaba limpio. Esta en un barrio residencial no muy centrico, aunque el bar del propio hotel esta muy bien. Los de recepcion agradables y serviciales. Es bastante caro para la habitacion y las condiciones que presenta. .

Walk on the West End

This aging guesthouse is over a lively pub that doubles as the breakfast room in the morning. There's parking on the street out front and a small private lot out back. Rooms are compact but everything works. Small shower but plenty of hot water and a very clean bathroom. Wi-Fi worked great. Delicious hot breakfast too. And the best part was the hotel's proximity to the West End's Sea Road, where trad music pubs such as the Crane and Áras Na NGael, and restaurants such as Massimo and Mona Lisa, are a short walk away. Further on is the Dominick Street scene, and the bustle of the city centre is beyond that over the bridge. The Quays is like the Doctor's Tardis: looks small from the outside but huge enough for 800 people inside. The Skeff is nice too. In between them, lots of shopping, but watch out: all the shops close promptly at 6.

zentrale Lage ist das Beste am Hotel

Für ein Stadthotel in Dublin wäre es in der preisgünstigen Kategorie ok gewesen, da ich dort wenig erwarte. In Salthill ist für den Durchschnittpreis besseres zu finden. Im Allgemeinen ist das Hotel sehr dunkel, der Frühstücksraum zu dunkel und ungemütlich, das Frühstück dürftig in der Qualität. Es ist sehr ratsam, den Buchungsbeleg zur Hand zur zu haben, ich sollte beim check out 90 Euro mehr bezahlen als gebucht. Das Bett war gut, viele Kissen und gemütlich.

Needs updating

Room was small and shabby bathroom had a very musty smell and shower was disgusting. Didn't really use bar a bit noisy first might but not really an issue for us. Short walk to salthill but definitely not to city centre and we would walk lots so would recommend bus.

Another Pleasant Stay

Nice clean cisy room in a nice comfortable welcoming hotel in a quite part of a very busy city . Only 10 minutes walk to city centre and 5 minutes to the beach . Room was warm and all expected facilities were provided(tea, coffee, towels, shampoos and shower gel) room was serviced to how we found it on arrival on our second day. The breakfast was very nice and they also offer a variety of options for breakfast . Have stayed at wards before and will again

Cheap, clean but too warm!

I was attending a party in the area so didn't spend too much time in the room. It was small and clean but the heat was stifling, I tried to turn it off but left the window open all night for some air. Hotel is dated but the price reflects this.

close enough and reasonable

Extremely friendly service. Very small rooms, but clean. Being a solo traveler, all I needed was a bed and a working hot shower. The bar downstairs was fun and friendly with locals catching the latest rugby match. 10-15 minute walk to city centre. Excellent location and value on a somewhat residential street (the street was loaded with B&Bs, a long row of them.)

十分満足でした

ホテル内のバーもやりながらなので忙しそうでしたが、スタッフは親切でした。 お値段の割に部屋も十分な広さがあり、Wifiも無料で快適に使えとても満足でした。 シャワーの水量が弱くとても寒かったです。 週末に宿泊したので仕方ありませんが、バーのお客はいつもいっぱいで、アイルランドならではの生演奏と共に大賑わい。夜中3時くらいまで続き眠れませんでした。
