Disappointing.
Pros:

The only thing this place has going for it is the location.

Cons:

The hotel was pretty old. The entry rugs were very dirty. The room we were given had a musty smell. The breakfast was not good at all. The pancakes were not cooked and the omelet was very dry and overcooked.

Great location but shame about wifi + breakfast
Pros:

Great central location. Have stayed here a few times. My room on 2nd floor looked on to Molesworth St, which was nice. Good lunch menu in the bar with prompt and friendly service.

Cons:

Appalling wifi in my room, borderline non-existent. Had breakfast on one morning and found the dining room very cold. The tea was dreadful!! Pretty certain it wasn't Barry's. The granola had rock hard pellets of something in it which I picked out in order not to break a tooth. For €250 per night, excluding breakfast, I was disappointed.
