Emplacement idéal mais n’oubliez pas les boules Quies.
Pros:

La situation géographique est parfaite pour visiter la ville.

Cons:

Hôtel surchauffé sans possibilité d’ouvrir la fenêtre car environnement bruyant. Trop peu de rangements : 1 seul pauvre placard pour 4 jours à 3 personnes. Le ménage fait sur demande uniquement, mais on ne nous l’a pas dit et on a mis 2 jours à le comprendre.

Pros:

It's right at the edge of Temple Bar. You go either left or right leaving the hotel and you're there. The price is very reasonable, the hotel is a bit dated, but if you know that before you go it'll be perfect for a weekend in Dublin and Temple Bar. Walking distance from the Jameson Distillery and crawling distance from Temple Bar. Perfect!

Room was dated, but clean, blinds work fine

Cons:

The hotel is a bit dated. There were minor things with the shower, which they don't know if nobody tells them (so I did, not as a complaint, but as a todo). The taps in the sink in the bathroom are ridiculous though (told 'em that as well), they stick about 1cm over the edge of the sink and have a separate cold and warm tap. If you want to brush your teeth or drink water: bring one of the cups. Again though: minor problem. The room was clean. Walls could be a little more sound proof.

Boa estadia durante o tempo em que pude ficar no hotel
Pros:

A localização é ótima e o hotel é simpático

Cons:

Sou hóspede frequente e tive um contratempo nesta estada que foi solucionado de maneira não satisfatória e prejudicial para mim, mas o hotel me respondeu educadamente e a situação era de fato complicada. Pretendo retornar certa de que a próxima experiência será melhor.

Decent price - good location. Newly refurbished. Staff very helpful.
Pros:

Great location - near Temple Bar region. Looks newly refurbished. The finish in the rooms is high and the bathroom facilities and finish were superb.

Cons:

The rooms were very warm and the windows only opened a little bit. Either the bar next door or the kitchen staff love emptying their glass bins a 0630hrs...
