Stayed for a few nights with my friend as part of our girls trip. Upon arriving they let us keep our suitcases there so we could explore a bit before check-in. We asked about vegan friendly places for food and drink and were given lots of options. It was very central to all the things that we wanted to go and see. The room was really clean and we had a nice view down the road to the river Liffey. Would absolutely love to stay again the next time I visit Dublin.

Some of the rooms are renovated but we were in an older one that had pretty gross carpet. There is no A/C which most of the year would be fine but we were there during warm weather. There was a small fan to use in the room. We liked the filtered water in the hallway. Breakfast onsite was good but not any cheaper or better than a local cafe. Location was good, the pub next door was loud one night but not too bad. Staff was super nice.
