Based on reviews I read, I was expecting this hotel to be marginal, but it was worse than expected. The location was great and the staff friendly and helpful, but the room was horrible. The mattress was so old we could feel every spring, the TV was tiny and didn't work at all. The remote had no batteries in it and even without it there was just static. The bedside lamps didn't work, one had no light bulb and the other just didn't work. They were hanging sideways from the wall by only one remaining nail. The furniture was chipped and scratched. The window wouldn't stay open, we finally propped it with 2 hangers, mold all over the bathroom ceiling and a incredible fire trap. Narrow, long hall with no windows to reach narrow stair case. I don't know how many rooms looked like the pictures in the ad, but ours didn't. I was expecting old and small, but not this run down.

Our room was so small that you could not walk around the bed. The window barely opened, and the lights had broken bulbs that could electrocute you if you touched them... and if that wasn't bad enough...we were right on top of a rock band that thumped loudly through the floor. Luckily they moved us the next night...that room was only a tiny better.

Friendly staff clean rooms my room was too hot window didn't open but they turned off heat for me...basic room in superb location for Temple Bar

As far as location goes, you couldn't as for better. The hotel, and the rooms individually are severely lacking. The hotel did not have wifi, which was a huge setback. Rooms were cramped, beds were springy and uncomfortable and the street noise was unbearable. Good deal if you're looking to travel on the cheap and want to avoid a hostel. But overall I would recommend you stay somewhere else if you're looking for comfort.

Was able to walk everywhere. Great location for the money! it was loud though.
