Excellent location and breakfast but rooms are too small to justify the price
Pros:

The beds were extremely comfortable and the breakfast was excellent with really friendly staff serving. The location is excellent too.

Cons:

The room was quite cramped for the price and the floor in the room we stayed in creaked loudly so going to the toilet during the night woke the whole family.

Pros:

Bonne adresse.. La chambre était très calme et très spacieuse.

Cons:

Légèrement excentré ( mais rien d'insurmontable à pied, et cela permet d'être plus au calme).

Hôtel très chaleureux, parfait pour visiter Dublin
Pros:

Nous avons particulièrement aimé l’accueil chaleureux avec du personnel très agréable.
Les lits sont très confortables et le petit déjeuner délicieux.

Cons:

Notre chambre était assez exiguë pour 4 personnes .. ce n’est pas dérangeant si vous passez votre journée à visiter Dublin

Wygodny, sympatyczny hotel w zabytkowym budynku.
Pros:

Poza ścisłym centrum, ale dobrze skomunikowane miejsce. Stylowy, zabytkowy budynek wśród historycznej zabudowy. Dobre jedzenie (i picie) w okolicy. Dojazd nad morze dość wygodny (niedaleko stacja DART).

Cons:

Ostatniego dnia dostaliśmy chyba porcję śniadaniową dla dzieci :) Ale nie protestowaliśmy, więc nasza strata :)
