Friendly well run hotel
Pros:

A lovely family owned hotel.
Staff were very helpful, and friendly.
We ate there for two evenings and the food was very good. On our 3rd evening we thought we should try a restaurant in the centre for a change. The breakfasts were great too.
The attached pub had live music some nights, which if we were younger we would have stayed. The sound was contained in the pub, so we heard nothing when getting off to sleep.
We would stay there again.

Good place to stay in Dublin
Pros:

Pleasant room, good breakfast, helpful staff. It is a bit out of the city, but has parking space and is on a convenient bus route. Tesco is opposite in case you need anything. The room had a fridge and a safe. After previous negative experiences with Dublin hotels, I was very pleased we chose this one.

Cons:

The room was hot as it had been a hot few days. The hotel lent us a fan but it had limited success in cooling the room!

El mejor hotel relación calidad/precio. Desayuno y personal de 10!
Pros:

El personal fue lo mejor, la atmósfera del hotel y el bar. Las chicas del desayuno y el desayuno fueron increibles. No está en el centro pero merece la pena.

Cons:

Que no hubiese persianas, estaba limpio pero algo viejo. No se puede pedir más por ese precio en el centro de Dublin.
