Great!
Pros:

I had a positive experience from beginning to end. Staff were excellent. They were helping, friendly and accommodating. My room was clean and comfortable. I did not include breakfast with my package as that was my personal choice. I did however eat breakfast at the hotel and they were good choices, but the eggs were pre-made as were a lot of the items that felt a little institutional. Otherwise everything was wonderful. Keeping in mind that Dublin is a city, this hotel is located to many things that you might want to see. All very walkable. I would stay here again.

Lovely hotel. Would stay again.
Pros:

It’s located in the middle of everything. Staff were all lovely. Facilities were great.

Cons:

Only thing I didn’t like was that I could hear people staying in the room above us as they were walking around all night and floorboards were creaking.
