Over rated and over priced.
Pros:

breakfast was ok - pleasant but nothing exciting. Food in the bar was average, and apart from the bar which is separate to the hotel there is nowhere to hang out. Bedroom is old fashioned. Also the receptionist I encountered on my arrival was unsmiling unfriendly and not helpful.

Cons:

as above..

Great location! A bit pricey but worth it for location and cozy convenience
Pros:

Great location - outstanding. The breakfast was amazing!!!

Cons:

I would have liked a coffee maker in the room. I did use the teapot for tea but the only coffee provisions were packets of instant coffee. For the price of the room, I'd expect a genuine coffee maker in the room. I did take advantage of the nespresso machine in the lobby but who wants to get dressed and walk to the lobby for that first cup of sunshine?!

Sentirsi subito un Dublinese!
Pros:

Ci siamo trovati benissimo sotto tutti i punti di vista! In particolare l’atmosfera irlandese, la posizione - non in centro ma con la fermata dell’autobus proprio davanti all’albergo - e la sala da biliardo.

Cons:

Leggermente costoso, ma nella media dei prezzi di Dublino
