Adapté pour aller visiter Dublin
Pros:

Bien localisé pour aller visiter Dublin en prenant le bus. Endroit assez calme.

Cons:

Il faisait très chaud dans la chambre et impossible de rafraîchir, il n’y a pas de Clim et les Irlandais ne sont pas organisés pour ces grosses chaleurs.

Great location, close to restaurants, groceries, and close to the airport.
Cons:

The bar across the street was a bit noisy until 2 am, but it was the the hurling finals and the FIFA world cup, so that is to be expected.

Pros:

Hôtel très bien placé pour se rendre à l'aéroport, plusieurs lignes de bus juste à côté. La chambre était spacieuse et propre. Le lit très confortable. Les produits Rituals mis a disposition sont top!

Cons:

On entend un peu le bruit de la rue et la lumière de sortie de secours de la chambre était un peu trop lumineuse.
