Excelente
Pros:

Excelente ubicación. Prácticamente al lado del centro pero sin estar dentro de la zona más bulliciosa. El trato del personal excelente. Desayuno muy completo. Todos los días dejaban 2 botellas de agua de cortesía.

Cons:

Nos gustó todo. Las habitaciones quizás algo antiguas en cuanto al mobiliario, pero excelentemente conservadas y sin mayor importancia.

Pequeño hotel confortable cercano al centro
Pros:

Me gustó el trato de los empleados, la cercanía del hotel al centro y la tranquilidad de la zona

Cons:

El baño es muy antiguo, la ducha salía con poquisima agua ,y el último dia no me repusieron toallas ni agua.
pedí un taxi para ir al aeropuerto la noche anterior en recepción, y no estaba esperándome fuera a la mañana siguiente, me mandaron a una calle trasera pero allí no había ningún taxi .
el desayuno muy normalito.

Un hotel fort agreable
Pros:

Accueil pro et humain, les services de la réception sont disponibles à toute heure.
Chambre agréable, spacieuse, bouilloire, 2 bouteilles d’eau offertes chaque jour, ménage impeccable. Les parties communes sont décorées avec goût.
Très bonne adresse à 10mn a pieds du centre.

Cons:

Chambre sur rue bruyante des 6h30 avec le passage des bus, prévoir bouchons d’oreilles.
Le petit déjeuner n’est pas très varié.
Dublin par ailleurs regorge de bonnes adresses pour des bons brunch.

Celkově se mi hotel líbil, hlavně Full Irish breakfast :) a skvělý personál.
Pros:

Skvělý personál, moc milí a přátelští lidé v celém hotelu - na recepci i v restauraci. Pokoj pro jednoho je dostatečně velký a pohodlný s velkou koupelnou. Snídaně byla skvělá - na výběr jsou dvě možnosti a to buď Full Irish nebo kontinentální a můžete si dát oboje. Večer můžete v hotelu poslouchat i živou hudbu.

Cons:

Jako něco, co je na jednu stranu výhoda - umístění v centru, bych tuto skutečnost hodnotila i negativně. Můj pokoj byl směrem do ulice a v 6 ráno mě každý den budila doprava. Také každé zavrzání z chodby bylo dost slyšet. Navíc mi v pokoji byla zima, ubytovaná jsem byla na konci února. Teploty venku byly cca 12-14°C, ale pokoj byl studený, včetně koupelny.
