Fabulous stay, comfortable and cosy hotel with easy access to city at a reasonable cost.
Pros:

Lovely hotel in a lovely quiet area , about 25 min walk into the city but there was a bus stop right outside and was about 15 min walk to get the dart train which we got to Howth.
We arrived early to drop our bags of after an early flight and they had our room already for us which was so lovely of them .
Staff were really polite and kind and couldn’t do enough for us.
Room was lovely and warm and beds were comfortable, had a good nights sleep. Rooms always cleaned when we got back in the evening.
Will definitely stay here again if I come back to Dublin.

Pros:

A reggeli megfelelő, friss, a választék nem óriási de bőven elegendő
Személyzet kedves, segítőkész mindenben (átalakító, reggelire extra igények, stb.)
Szoba és az egész hotel tiszta, kényelmes

Cons:

Átfolyós bojler nagyon hangos (nem elviselhetetlen, de elég meredek)

Estancia recomendada en Dublín 4
Pros:

El hotel es muy cuco y elegante y el barrio en el que está tiene todo lo necesario para cenar o para hacer una compra. Destaco sobre todo la atención. Tanto las chicas del desayuno, como las de recepción son fantásticas, en especial Rosalia y Matilde que tuvieron varios detalles muy bonitos conmigo.

Cons:

Las paredes son muy finas y eso hace que se oiga todo. Pero debo decir que esto es mayoritariamente culpa de la gente, que es una irrespetuosa y la noche del sábado al domingo llegaban haciendo mucho escándalo.
