Pros:

It was clean

Cons:

the room was too warm and there wasn't any condition air or a fan. Too noisy for the pub next to the window. It was really hard to sleep. There were vibrations for the strong music.

Pros:

Location and price.

Cons:

The noise and stink of cigarettes and weed from the smoking area of the bar below. No alternative room offered. I left after an hour and was not given a refund. Owner of the hotel claimed that you waiver that right as they tell you it's attached to a bar. Ridiculous statement considering the room stank of weed, was right beside the fire exit to the bar. I want my refund!

Materasso comodo ma il resto esperienza mistica
Pros:

La comodità del materasso

Cons:

Le scale che cedono verso l'Interno senza ascensore, moquette sporca, sedia sporca, poltrona a tre gambe, si sentono i rumori del pub di sotto e molto fredda

Good central location and reasonable value for money, although the building feels somewhat worn down
Pros:

The hotel is well located and quite central. For the price, it’s a reasonable option and convenient for exploring Dublin.

Cons:

The building itself feels a bit run down inside, and the overall atmosphere was not the most comfortable.
