No complaints but overall a standard hotel. Parking is a tad far for anyone needing assistance. The bus stop is right out front which is either a plus or minus depending on your preferences.

Excellent location in Dublin. Wonderful hotel. Rooms are a tad small which isn’t a problem if all you are using it for is a place to sleep. Felt a bit claustrophobic when I got up during the night to use the bathroom.
