Awful, stressful, and not remotely worth the price.
Pros:

Good location. Relatively clean.

Cons:

It is ridiculous to be given a tiny, windowless room for the price we paid. Also unacceptable to have the room be right next to the busy staff entrance, loudly slammed late into the night. The breakfast was literally stale and inedible. Lastly, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and we did not receive so much as an apology for it.

Best hotel experience and value, in Temple Bar. Temple Bar is Ireland's rip-off capital.

Pros:

Bien placé, chambre moderne, personnel sympathique. Chambre au rez pratique. Situé en plein centre

Cons:

Isolation de la porte inexistante. On entendait le personnel remuer la cuisine tôt le matin, les autres voyageurs ouvrir, fermer les portes, bruit de douche... En pleine nuit nous avons entendu pendant 20min des bruits de déplacement de fûts métalliques... Lumière du couloir passe sous la porte et éclaire en permanence la chambre...
