Sauberes Hotel, ideal gelegen!
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt.
Zu den Bushaltestellen nur ein paar Minuten, auch zu Fuß die Sehenswürdigkeiten einfach zu erreichen.
Die MItarbeiter waren alle sehr nett.
Wir haben das Frühstück nur einmal gebucht, alles vom Buffet, man merkt, dass hier viele Leute übernachten und frühstücken können...
Cappuccino war gut, auch die Auswahl an Essen (Brot, Semmeln, Wurst, Marmeldade, Müsli, Obst, warme Speisen...) ist vollkommen ausreichend.
Sollten wir nochmal einen Städtetrip nach Dublin machen, werden wir das Hotel wieder buchen bzw. wir werden es gerne weiterempfehlen.

I stayed with a group of 10 people aged 25 to 75. Everyone enjoyed their stay.
Pros:

The rooms are very nice. The breakfast was amazing, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The location is very convenient, especially for tourists, as it is central and close to the bus stop and the airport shuttle.

Cons:

The bathtub/shower doesn’t have a handheld shower head, although I must say it’s still very spacious and comfortable.

Pros:

Classic hotel. Beds were comfy and amenities were good. We didn’t purchase the breakfast, but the car downstairs had super delicious vegan sausage rolls. The staff was helpful. You can leave your bags with them if you are too early for check in.
