Room was small but clean and the bathroom was great with a walk in shower. Bed a little firm and squeaky but otherwise fine. Location is very convenient for walking, trams and buses but also can be a bit noisy and boisterous on Friday and Saturday nights. Would stay again.

During a recent stay in Dublin, my husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on O’Connell Street. We couldn’t have asked for friendlier, more helpful and accommodating staff. Our room was spotless on arrival. The hardworking housekeeping staff maintained the high level of cleanliness throughout our stay.
