Super hotel w centrum Dublina 🍀🇮🇪
Pros:

Super hotel w bardzo dobrym położeniu, w centrum Dublina. Wszędzie można dojść właściwie na piechotę. Personel bardzo miły i pomocny. Pokoje czyste, wygodne łóżko. W pokoju ciepło. Mieliśmy po 6 rano wycieczkę i dostaliśmy smaczne śniadanie na wynos. Śniadania w hotelu smaczne, bufet do wyboru. Każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Bardzo polecam ten hotel. Zdecydowanie spełnił moje wymagania.

Cons:

Wszystko było w porządku.

Perfect
Pros:

Great location, walkable distance to many popular spots, Temple Bar, and Grafton Street. Aircoach takes you from the airport to right outside the hotel for about €9. Really friendly helpful staff, and the room was super comfortable and spacious. Everything was clean and well organised.
