3 dias em Dublin
Pros:

No geral, gostamos de tudo o que envolve a dinâmica do Hotel para a nossa curta, mas suficiente, estadia em Dublin. Desde a localização, staff, pequeno-almoço, quarto, limpeza etc... tudo estava ótimo e tornou a nossa estadia confortável.

Cons:

Achamos a cama demasiado desconfortável (muito dura) para aquilo que são os nossos gostos pessoais.

Das perfekte Stadthotel

Bei diesem Hotel stimmt einfach alles. Es lügt zentral und ist mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln optimal erreichbar. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und sauber. Das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen. Das Personal ist äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Près du centre ville, pratique pour la visite de Dublin à pied. Arrêt de bus pour l'aéroport devant l'hôtel. Les chambres bien isolées, donc pas de bruit.

Dublin Central … but double check rooms before paying
Pros:

Central to Dublin City & close to quite a few ‘pubs’

Cons:

They overbook Twin Bed Rooms in particular - based on our experience - and do not advise on booking (& paying) that they are not able to provide until arrival
