Lovely staff, comfy beds and fabulous coffee
Pros:

Wonderful staff - shoutout to Ger for being so accommodating and friendly despite our busy schedule! Comfortable room, great shower and fabulous coffee. Also it's a superb location on the doorstep to everything in Dublin.

Cons:

Our double room was a little tight for 2 people but we're both small humans so it didn't really matter. Worth noting there's quite a network of Georgian corridors and sets of stairs going up/down for those with reduced mobility, but not an issue for us.

Cons:

My room was extremely dark, room 116, needed the light on at all times. I often book single rooms in hotels but have never before gotten one with a single bed, Im 50 years old and haven't slept in a single bed single I was a child, very uncomfortable and disappointing. I picked the hotel for location only because I don't know Dublin City, but for the price I paid I was really dissappointed overall.

Perfect location in the heart of Dublin close to shops and restaurants. The room was compact and comfortable, if a little warm during the night. Breakfast was nice and staff were friendly and polite. Loved the Rituals products.

Pros:

Deres receptionist var en ældre Irsk herre. Han var fantastisk. Han var gæstfri, han elskede at snakke lidt med os om vores dag. Og udviste oprigtig interesse

Cons:

Morgenmaden var for dyr. Men ellers var der ikke noget at komme efter
