Hotel location is nicely located; walking to attractions very easy. Our street-facing room provided bird’s eye view of the street’s happenings, and we quickly got accustomed to street noise and the bells of Christ Church. The very bustling pub next door is host to nightly live music and attracts many patrons, which adds to the din of the street.

Brilliant location, very clean and good bed. Would be ideal in cooler months. Not suited for heatwave conditions as no aircon and limited window opening. Would be happy to go back at lower outside temps. Be carful with room window outlook. Ours has zero privacy across a rooftop to an external doorway. Sheer curtains would help.

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.
