Clean, modern hotel near the docks
Pros:

Clean, modern room. Staff were nice. Restaurants is pretty good. The location is nice and really close to the docks.

Cons:

The price is pretty outrageous. The hotel is nice and well-kept, but still very basic. I suppose you can say it’s Dublin prices, and this was one of the better-priced ones, but it is just wild how much you have to pay. I’ve been to cities which would be considered expensive, where hotel prices weren’t this inflated.

Hotel incrível
Pros:

Adorei a localização, o quarto era incrível, estava super limpo e arrumado.

Cons:

Como chegámos durante a noite, o aquecimento do quarto não estava ligado então estava muito frio. No entanto, contactámos a recepção que prontamente disponibilizou um aquecedor portátil para aquecer o quarto, só que também estava avariado. Nas noites seguintes deixávamos o aquecimento ligado durante o dia e já estava a temperatura perfeita quando chegávamos
