Great central location to lots of Dublin activity!
Pros:

Loved being in the middle of Temple Bar with all the activity. The facilities are very nice and staff was very helpful (including allowing us to store luggage for several days in advance our stay while we traveled to other parts of the country). The buffet was totally worth it too!

Cons:

We were on the 1st floor right above the street which was noisy to open the windows. The room has a fan but, being warm in the room, didn’t allow us to keep the windows open in order for it to be quiet enough for us to sleep well.

Pros:

The hotel is practically on the edge of Temple Bar. It’s just a hundred metres’ walk from the Dublin Express bus stop. There’s a Tesco nearby. Right outside the hotel and further down Fleet Street, there’s a whole host of bars, pubs and restaurants – there’s something to suit everyone’s taste.
The hotel is cosy; the reception is down a flight of stairs, and there’s a friendly security guard at the entrance. There are two lifts – one by the entrance and one by the restaurant.
The breakfasts aren’t the best I’ve had, but they’re perfectly decent. If you can’t make it in time for breakfast, you can order an early breakfast to take away.
The rooms are cosy, with air conditioning and a heater. The beds are comfortable. The Wi-Fi is excellent.
I’d particularly like to highlight the exceptional professionalism and customer-focused approach of the staff, who helped me organise a birthday surprise for my wife. Everything turned out much better than I’d expected. A special thank you to Satsuki for organising it.
We had a wonderful time at your hotel.

Cons:

when we booked, we didn't add breakfast and when we checked in it had been added to the reservation. Not realizing how it expensive it was we said ok. I wish someone would have told us what the charge per day would be as we are not huge breakfast eaters and would have been less expensive to order off the menu plus we would have been able to have exactly what we wanted.

Ett bra och rekorderligt hotell med fantastiskt läge.
Pros:

Läget är optimalt. Personalen var trevlig och väldigt hjälpsam. Städningen var bra både på rummet och i lobbyn, och rummet inklusive badrummet var bra i storlek. Utsikt över takåsarna var charmigt. Frukosten helt okej. Lugn och skön stämning.

Cons:

Rummet var enormt varmt och saknade AC. Det var en bit över 30 grader C när vi kom tillbaka på eftermiddagen (då temp ute var ca 22-24). Det fanns en fläkt men det gjorde inte jättestor skillnad. Det var det värsta. Ventilationen var inte så bra, och kallvattnet försvann när vi duschade vilket orakade att jag brände mig. Det kunde ha gått värre dock - undvek skållning med sekunders marginal. Det åtgärdades dock rättså snabbt, men det var lite oroligt att duscha efter det.
Annars var det detaljer som hade förbättringspotential. Det saknades till exempel handhållen dusch, toalettborste, krokar att hänga av sig jackan på, ”stör ej”- skylt, och kapsylöppnare.
