I had a pleasant stay with a clean and comfortable room, though the nighttime noise in the hallway was a downside.
Pros:

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the shower was wonderfully large. The housekeeping was excellent: every time I returned to the room in the evening, the bed was neatly made again and the coffee, towels, and other amenities were nicely replenished. Everything was very well cleaned and maintained. My compliments to the housekeeping team.

Cons:

Personally, I found the mattress a bit too firm, but I understand that this is a matter of personal preference.

The main downside for me was the noise in the hallway at night. Normal sounds such as a door closing somewhere or hearing the elevator are to be expected in a hotel. Unfortunately, on several nights there were guests walking through the hallway talking very loudly and even stopping in front of my door to have conversations around 3 or 4 a.m. Because of this, I woke up multiple times each night during my stay.

I understand that guest behavior is not entirely something the hotel can control, but perhaps there could be a bit more monitoring at night or guests could be kindly reminded to keep the noise down when it becomes excessive. The doors in the hallway also close quite loudly, which made the noise more noticeable during the night.

Bon emplacement mais attention au choix de la chambre
Pros:

Le personnel, l'emplacement, la literie.

Cons:

L'hôtel est en rénovation, c'est très bien mais le prix des chambres pas encore rénovées est beaucoup trop cher!! Evitez les chambres standard.. moquette douteuse, salle de bain pas fonctionnelle du tout (baignoire bouchée)..

Ottimo hotel
Pros:

L'hotel gode di un'ottima posizione accanto a Temple Bar, camere ottime con la presenza di una macchinetta per il caffè e la possibilità di riempire l'acqua dal loro distributore.

Cons:

Ho trovato il bagno leggermente sporco, con qualche capello nella doccia, ma ciò non ha influito molto sull'esperienza generale
