An und für sich ein sehr nettes und sauberes Hotel, ziemlich lange in die Nacht laut durch die Bar und dazu wurden wir um 6:30 von den Straßenarbeitern geweckt.

We had a wonderful time in Dublin!!!
Pros:

Breakfast was great! The location was excellent. We were able to see and hear everything happening in the area. I wish the fan we were given had worked better, as it was very hot

Cons:

It was weird to get to the bar and breakfast by walking through a storage room.

Absolutely amazing the area is grand. The bar is exceptional and the rooms were the comfiest we stayed in all week.
Pros:

The rooms were soundproofed so the noise from the lovely bar downstairs and the streets didn’t disturb us

Cons:

Extractor fan in the bathroom wasn’t working and neither was the Hair dryer on both occasions I went to Reception there was no one there for a good 10 minutes to report this to

TOO EXPENSIVE
Pros:

so expensive!
we payed €50.20 for 2 double vodka lemonades. The vodka is as only worth €33. Hope this helps x (also from wilmslow, cheshire so prices are already for too expensive)

Głośno ale czysto
Pros:

Czystość, rozmiar pokoju, bliskość najważniejszych atrakcji miasta

Cons:

Halas z baru pod hotelem, ale przede wszystkim z pubu obok, głośniki skierowane w stronę okien naszego hotelu. Muzyka grała do północy. Nie byliśmy zadowoleni z obsługi recepcji.
Pomimo umówienia się wieczorem na przechowanie bagażu odmówiono nam przyjęcia bagażu rano i musieliśmy dać je do przechowalni po drugiej stronie ulicy za 30 euro. Tu miało być za 10 od pokoju. Nie spodobało nam się to.

Very good value for money and a great location
Pros:

It was a very clean, very well decorated room. I liked how bright it was and the staff were very friendly.

Cons:

There was no fridge and the window was difficult to open but we were able to eventually, other than that it was excellent

Pros:

Clean room, conveniently located. You can hear the music and hustle and bustle from Temple Bar but that is to be expected given the location.

Cons:

Room was extremely hot to the point of not being able to sleep. When mentioned to reception at check out just as an FYI I was fairly curtly advised I could have asked for fan.
No where in the hotel, in the room or even at the reception desk was this stated nor was it mentioned when we checked in. I appreciate Ireland is experiencing a surprisingly long spell of good weather but for a hotel that is located in an area where most people are returning to their room late at night after gigs or nights out it seems unlikely they would get back up out of bed and go search for fan.
