I would stay again but would not pay for the breakfast if it was to the same poor standard of quality and delivery
Pros:

Great location with buses straight into town nearby in lovely village of Rathmines.
Great coffee and fresh water in foyer.
Nice quirky layout as old building. Parking at no extra cost. Spotless.

Cons:

Breakfast was like something from Fawlty Towers. Really poor system with no one managing it. Waited 1/2 hour for food which was over cooked. One person served a part at a time. No fresh fruit salad. Tinned fruit in syrup and whole fruit only. Very disappointing choice. I stayed here some years back and the breakfast was excellent so I was really looking forward to it again. Must be change of ownership. Not one Irish person seen working there now and standards are reduced since before.

Pros:

Location was fabulous. Hotel was very clean, had promise!

Cons:

Extremely noisy,room 16 is right beside a)the bins b)the barrel deli ery and collection area and c) the kitchen door,which is metal and left open and they throw boxes down which land outside the window. No manager at weekends! Breakfast was pretty cooked and reheated I suspect! My husband was able to 'slice' his scrambled egg! Bacon could have been used as a weapon. Most importantly receptionist was rude and very unhelpful when I complained. Extremely dissatisfied with what could be a fabulous hotel.
