Comfortable but staff were
Pros:

Great location, lovely rooms and clean

Cons:

I had pre booed a baby cot which they forgot to put in my room, when I asked for it or a bed rails they said the could put a cot in but if I wanted a bed rail it was an extra £35 which I thought was completely unnecessary considering I was already paying over £200 for the room

Pros:

Big thank you to the outstanding staff at this hotel. From the reception to the waiting staff they are a credit to the hotel. Worth their weight in gold. They had to start their breakfast shift one hour earlier than normal to accommodate us for the marathon and they still had a smile on their face.

Comfortable and convenient - ideal for marathon runners
Pros:

We travelled to Dublin for the Marathon. This hotel is well located and the arrangements for breakfast and parking suit us well. The staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are really comfortable. The bed was firmer than i like but the cotton sheets were of a high quality. Incredibly smooth. We have used this hotel in the past and have never been disappointed
