Great value, superb breakfast, perfect location.
Pros:

The breakfast buffet was superb. There was a huge range of foods to choose from. It cost us 14e each and compared to nearby Dublin eateries, it was an absolute bargain. The bonus is you couldn't get a more central location than The Arlington. I would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

There honestly wasn't anything I didn't like.

Pros:

Location, breakfast is good but expensive.

Cons:

Bathroom is very old, the tap were broken, separate tap for cold and hot water, so the options you have is very cold or boiling water to wash your hands. Shower also switch between hot and cold, so you. An not enjoy the shower. Also the room could be nicer, there was no fridge, the carpets was a odd mix of color and type. The glasses and mug in the room were not washed, it had coffee and sugar inside. And it costed almost 500 euros for 2 people for 2 nights. Very disappointed. Breakfast not included.

Dublin est une belle ville intéressante à découvrir.
Pros:

Emplacement idéal pour visiter Dublin. Nous avons pu faire toutes nos visites alentours à pied. Il y avait également les bus à proximité.

Cons:

Un peu de bruit tard le soir dans la rue. Peu d'effort pour communiquer en français.
