Historic Ferryman
Pros:

The room was beautiful with a view of the river. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was awesome. Loved the nostalgia of staying in a historical place.

Cons:

We didn't like the stairs. So many stairs. This hotel is not for anyone who has limited physical abilities. We didn't read that in the fine print that there wasn't a lift/elevator. That was our fault. Buyer beware.

Great location & lovely wee bar.
Pros:

Great location next to the river. Excellent bar on the ground floor

Cons:

The bedroom window was left open a crack before we arrived and it leaked really badly in heavy rain whilst we were out meaning that our floor/carpet & clothes got totally soaked & the clothes were unusable for the weekend. When we mentioned it they questioned whether we had opened the window and made no attempt to offer alternative or compensation.

Good place to stay!
Pros:

It was a good location, comfy and clean room. Good price for Dublin. The kettle was nice to have.

Cons:

It was noisy at night. We didn't hear any noise from the two floor pub below us (and we were just on the third floor), but when there were people partying outside, it was quite loud.
