Very good location and attentive staff with high cleanliness
Pros:

The hotel was in the heart of the city but just slightly out to the point where there isn’t heavy foot traffic and noise around the building. It was perfect for going out for meals or visits to museums.

Cons:

There was a lot of noise from rooms beside and above due to squeaky floorboards when people are walking around getting ready in the morning and at night. The bath drain also drained away very slowly, the toilet seat was also loose and was nearly coming off.

Cons:

Gas fires in lobby and lounge were not lit . Said by staff member to be out of order . it was February and VERY wet and cold outside .A warm fire would have been so welcoming .

Just a great City break. Really recommended.
Pros:

Old Fashioned Dublin charm. Really excellent location. Love the bar area and great lounge service. Rare to find these days.

Cons:

The receptionist on that particular day was completely unfamiliar with Hotel Services for example did not know the bar offered a light breakfast menu from 8-10 am . Told us that no food served till after 3pm.
