Pros:

Really liked the location also the hotel was just across the road to the main attractions . Temple bar area and main shopping walk distance.

Cons:

Nothing it ticked all the boxes I I generally look at the positives not negatives. Especially when it is a short break

Great location fantastic entertainment just need to control the kids you let in
Pros:

Breakfast was awful not worth the money at all so we went to oconnells couple of doors up excellent food bathroom was very dated but otherwise room was a good standard everything u needed ironing board with iron safe no fridge which would of been nice

Cons:

We went for the rugby weekend wales v Ireland got up early for the game to get a good seat for the questions and answers and the game was there from 10 30 game was on at 8 pm so as you can imagine we spent an absolute fortune as 4 drinks were costing 43 euros then around 100 disruptive kids come in throwing drinks pulling chairs from under people so they were falling swinging each other around bumping everyone and standing in front of the TV so we couldn't see a thing in asked a staff member could she move them from the stage so we could see the game and she shrugged her shoulders and said i don't control crowds but I'll ask management absolutely nothing was done and they just got worse so we ended up watching the game in our room obviously the management don't look after their residents i have stayed here a few times but this experience has really put us as a group off staying again we have mentioned this to a lovely gentleman in the hotel and he said that we are not the first to complain about the same thing and it will hopefully addressed don't make this about money Arlington hotel as you are going to lose good customers as we were speaking to other guests and they said exactly the same as us also you let far too many people in you cannot move and trying to get to the toilet was impossible again we had to go to our room and there was a very arrogant staff member pushing the crowd he was tall bald head with a earpiece i honestly don't know where he thought we were going to go bloody idiot

Prima hotel op goede locatie, beetje gedateerd maar wel schoon
Pros:

Goede locatie, toch betaalbaar. Ontbijt is prima: sommige dingen zijn wel bijna op als je in het laatste uur dat je kunt ontbijten komt.

Cons:

De inrichting van de kamers is een beetje gedateerd en de badkamer is verouderd, maar alles is wel schoon.

Excellent position, the rest needs improvement
Pros:

The room was very spacious and the breakfast was good as well. Excellent position near the city centre.

Cons:

The staff was not really kind nor welcoming, except for the old lady that was always very kind and helpful. The bedsheet and towels were dirty, even if new.

Overall, I would stay there even knowing the furniture situation.
Pros:

The location was central to the city. The staff was friendly, and the locale for the evening show was great.

Cons:

The furniture needs to be updated and/or repaired. There was minimal furniture, combined with damaged surfaces and a nightstand drawer that could not be closed.

Personel bardzo pomocny
Pros:

Śniadanie było bardzo dobre, super lokalizacja

Cons:

Wydaje mi się, że nie było windy dla naszej części budynku. Woda w wannie nie schodziła po prysznicu, natomiast schodziła po kąpieli.
