Great location tho room size disappointing
Pros:

The location was ideal as we were attending a concert at the 3 Arena. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom a good size.

Cons:

The room was a lot smaller than the images provided. I was disappointed given we had booked a superior double with a balcony. The tea making facilities were not practical as the lighting was very poor and we had to move the kettle to another area of the room to use it.

Jó
Pros:

Tetszett, hogy az uszoda reggel korán nyitott!
Tetszett, hogy lehetett sávot bérelni!
Tetszett, hogy minden közel volt a szálláshoz!

Cons:

2 szobát foglaltunk egyszerre, és nem kaptunk egymás melletti szobákat.
Fiam szobájában nem volt fűtés. 3 nap múlva sem csinálták meg, majd nehezen kaptunk egy másik szobát.
A reggeli jó volt. A kávé is, a zöldsegkínálat is.
Egy egész napos kirándulásra befizettünk, 1 joghurtot, 1 muffint, 1 vizet kaptunk/fő! Ezzel indultunk útnak. Pedig 3 főre fizettünk reggelit. (Szerintem nem ennyit!) Egy szendvics jól jött volna!!!!
A takarítónő úgy takarított, hogy 1 napig kerestem a kispárnámat. ( a két àgy között találtam meg, leesve!)!
Nem tetszett, hogy a wellnessben nem volt lerakó hely törölközőnek, köntösnek!!!!

Good choice of hotel for location and comfort of stay.
Pros:

Comfortable bed, really good breakfast, friendly staff, excellent pool and gym, good city centre location without the hassel and noise of the crowded streets around Temple Bar etc.

Cons:

Parking was pricey at €25 per night, the lobby was not warm enough to sit in comfortably in the evening,

A good clean hotel for a few days in Dublin
Pros:

Nice hotel near the river and not far from the ferry port
All modern and very clean (nice swimming pool in the basement)
Staff friendly & efficient
Good breakfast with large selection
Town center can be walked to and tramway station very near at the back of the hotel

Cons:

The rooms at the back of the hotel are a bit noisy (noise from the paved street below with various delivery / bin trucks & general traffic at all hours) - others locations in the hotel would certainly be a lot quieter if you can choose.
Parking is pricey and not many spaces are available
