Modern clean comfortable well equipped
Pros:

Modern clean comfortable and well equipped

Cons:

Couldn’t quite see how to get out in an emergency as even fire escapes looked card controlled. Would have liked stairs clearly marked.

Perfect location!
Pros:

Amazing location, really nice rooms with everything you need. Really modern decor. We personally loved having a gym in available to use also.
The staff made us some free pancakes for breakfast on pancake day which was really thoughtful. Very accommodating throughout the stay!

Cons:

Probably wouldn’t book the breakfast if we stayed again as was quite expensive and might have been nice to eat out for the same - but always good for convenience.

Cela va être extrêment difficile de trouver mieux.
Pros:

Difficile de trouver mieux question emplacement, en face du Ha'Penny Bridge. Un magasin Spar à deux minutes chrono, le Temple Bar, une fois le pont traversé, à 5mn. L'établissement est hyper accueillant avec un open place pour du coworking,
un salon zen et végétalisé, un restaurant design, des entrées sécurisées, une salle de sport petite mais on peut trouver matière à se défouler un peu. On peut vraiment rejoindre tous les centres d'intérêt à pied. Et même prendre le bus pour l'aéroport à seulement 15mn à pied. Des restaurants de qualité à proximité (O'Connell, allez-y, des spécialités irlandaises à un prix hyper raisonnable) et des commerces à foison.
Le logement est esthétiquement et fonctionnellement parfait, des tons poudrés, le nécessaire pour prendre une boisson chaude ou froide pour commencer la journée. Les équipements sont neufs, c'est chaleureux et vraiment très agréable de séjourner dans cet établissement. Sans parler de l'accueil, avec du personnel compréhensif et bienveillant, qui sait s'adapter à votre demande, un plus avec la possibilité de laisser ses bagages en arrivant et en partant. Trop d'éloges feront que j'aurai peut-être du mal à trouver un hébergement libre la prochaine fois !

Cons:

Dommage que la chaine SKY ne soit pas disponible, la première league de fléchettes faisait une hâlte à Belfast
mais pas de retransmission. On est vraiment sur du détail perso, j'ai presque honte !

Central, friendly and fun
Pros:

It was central very friendly and flexible, cafe in the front to hang out in. Small gym and they stored my luggage after i checked out for 12 hours which was nice.

Cons:

Gym was very small. My window view wasnt great and window was small. Care less about the view though, just more natural light will be nice. My friend said their room had a bigger window, guess i was just unlucky.
