Great location, it was just 5 mins walk from Grafton St. The staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough to mak
Pros:

Great location, it was just 5 mins walk from Grafton St. The staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough to make us feel at home. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed and lots of light from the beautiful Georgian windows . The bathrooms are well designed with a rainbow shower and a separate handset and there was lights on the mirror and shelving for my wife. We also had free snacks and water available in the room.

Cons:

A pleasant stay 😊
Pros:

Friendly staff, especially Benjamin.
I thought the bottles of water, crisps and biscuits was a lovely touch and l loved the king room 😊 It was nice to walk through Stephens green from Leeson Street to go to Grafton Street. I would definitely stay again. There was traffic noise so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Good location but couldn’t sleep well
Pros:

Location and staff

Cons:

Rooms are very tiny thus stuffy. And the temperature outside was comfortably low, I can’t imagine how unbearable it would be during summer. To get some air into the room one can open a window slightly, but then noise from the street will wake you up every hour. I understand it’s an old building and probably wasn’t build initially with tiny cells, but ventilation and an oxygen are kind of needed.
Location is very nice, that’s why we chose the inn and staff is nice and friendly
