Pros:

Gran ubicación, cerca de todo. Recepción muy amable que hablaba ingles/español! Tenes dos opciones de desayuno, increíble. Tienen un muy buen restaurante donde hay show y los viernes presentan danza irlandesa. La habitación es chica pero si viajas solo esta bien. La cama muy cómoda, perfecta para descansar despues de un tour largo.

Ottima dimora in centro a Dublino
Pros:

Atmosfera, come una nobile residenza. Gentilezza del personale, vicinanza al centro. Ottime le scelte per il breakfast senza costi supplementari.

Cons:

Non ho trovato difetti. I solai in legno che cigolano, sono originali e fanno parte del suo fascino

Good location. Nice helpful staff.
Pros:

Uniqueness. Breakfast.

Cons:

It is a bit of a warren …. Took a while to find everything !!!
A non slip mat would take the worry out of slipping in the shower. I know I could have asked for one …..

Should be more reasonably priced for the location and the inaccessibility.
Pros:

It’s very historic and eclectic

Cons:

No elevator, loud squeaky floor boards, difficult to find the main entrance. Very expensive for what we get.

Très beau séjour à Dublin, l’hôtel était un beau point de chute, pas trop loin du centre.
Pros:

Le personnel de l’hôtel (surtout à la réception) est extrêmement sympathique, serviable et attentionné. Les deux types de déjeuner étaient sympas et très corrects.

Cons:

Une de nos deux chambres était vraiment moins belle.

Superbe hôtel
Pros:

Le personnel est gentil, aimable et professionnel.
Le restaurant de l'hôtel sert des plats délicieux, hyper généreux et d'un bon rapport qualité-prix.
Il y a également de la "live music", c'était vraiment sympa.
On a également fais "l'afternoon tea", qui était vraiment très bon.
On à adoré notre séjour, nous étions en lune de miel le personnel nous a laissé une petite carte dans la chambre, 10/10, nous reviendrons.

Little gem in a great central location
Pros:

Staff were welcoming and very helpful from the very offset. Room was clean and had nice food, and drink in the bar. It was a Wednesday night but the place was lively and Ray Cox performed great songs. Breakfast was great and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Fionn. A little gem in the heart of Dublin. Thanks!
