Pleasant stay

We had a terrific time in Dublin! The staff at Reception were exceptional (I believe their names were June, Clara, Alaina, and Olivia)! Super friendly, responsive to all of our questions, and even helped us figure out a hot water issue, like a plumber (thanks Alaina!). The room was a bit tired and worn, but clean. The window didn't close properly and we heard a bit of street noise. The breakfast was tasty. Overall, we had a pleasant stay! TY ladies!

Hotel is in a very good location and staff were welcoming and helpful. Room was clean but in need of a bit of updating - mainly the bathroom. Double glazing in room not good - heard noise from road & church bells every 15 minutes. Looks like the hotel is in process of renovating. Could do with more comfortable pillows.

This hotel's best asset is its location. You are never more than 15 minutes away walking from all the major tourist attractions. The rooms are a bit dated, but for the price and location, it's worth it. It's also a great place to stay if you are watching a gig at Vicar Street.
