Room was great! Our only complaint is the cost of breakfast. I had gastric bypass recently and can only eat 6 oz of food, I asked for a discount or child’s price and they said no, I tried showing my medical card and they still wouldn’t accommodate. No one will pay 21 dollars for 6 oz of food.

Spacious room but lacked storage. Lived out of a suitcase. Bathroom was tiny but water pressure was great in shower. Only body wash provided. If windows opened then it was loud due to street cleaning, garbage pick up early mornings. Closed windows and no outside noise. Area a little sketchy but a few minute walk and you are on a main street and close to taxi, tram, busses etc. Good value. Great staff.

Modern hotel in the heart of Dublin. The only thing I would mark down on was the temperature of some of the breakfast items(bacon, eggs). But selection was great. We will stay again.

Staff were very friendly. However a room was very small & they switched after we addressed the situation. Our queen size bed was made by two smaller the twin size mattresses & was splitting a part when we were slipping. No shampoo, no hair conditioners, no body wash until we asked for it. They had big bottle of soap dispenser by the sink & inside the shower and they were more like hair gel than soap. Shower curtain was so short that water would come out on the floor constantly. We paid over $2500 for 7 days & nights for the 3 star hotel when advertisement was for 4 stars. A lot of garbage around the hotel especially at evening time & smelled badly. That was terrible. Never will stay that hotel again.
