Pros:

It is a fabulous budget place to stay. I stay there a lot for a great night's sleep. It has the most comfortable beds. Small rooms and small double beds so not for everyone but great beds! Also a nice music bar downstairs.

Cons:

It's a budget hotel with great prices so the rooms are small. And there is air con but I would love to be able to open a window

Disappointed
Pros:

Location was ok only around a 15/20 min walk to main part of Dublin

Cons:

Facilities are poor, unable to validate the parking at the actual hotel, breakfast room was very small and the breakfast was awful. Flying around the food. Hot section was cold. Mould in the hotel showers. Black grout semi hides but was on the tiles showing it isn’t cleaned fully.

A bit disappointing
Pros:

Friendly staff

Cons:

Breakfast was very limited scrambled eggs and hash browns only hot options for non-meat eaters. Lots of flies round food areas. Plug in sink didn't work. It's in a back road with no other retail buildings, feels a bit unsafe late at night.

Pekný, čistý hotel asi 2km od cetra, ústretový personál, dobré raňajky. Izby dosť malé.
Pros:

Hotel pekný, čistý. Personál veľmi ústretový. Raňajky chutné. Izby každý deň upratané. Veľmi dobrý sprchový kút. Od centra trochu ďalej ale stále v pešej dostupnosti (2km). Zrejme aj vďaka tomu na miestne pomery lacnejší ako hotely v centre, ale na naše pomery dosť drahý, ale to je Írsko. Na izbe kanvica a káva, čaj.

Cons:

Izba dosť malá. Okrem postelí len malý stolík a stolička v rohu, žiadna skriňa. Ale v rámci možností zariadené efektívne, na stene tyč s vešiakmi.

Siisti kohde lähellä keskustaa
Pros:

Hotelli on uusi ja siisti ja huoneestakin löytyi kaikki välttämättömät asiat, vaikka huone olikin tosi pieni. Aamupala oli myös hyvä ja hotellilla on myös pieni sisäpiha, missä voi juoda vaikka kahvia.

Cons:

Hotellissa tila on optimoitu äärimmäisen tiiviiksi, erityisesti huoneessa.

Pros:

Nos encantó el desayuno y lo práctico que están las habitaciones y las instalaciones en general.
Lo sencillo hoy en día es difícil de conseguir y ustedes lo han conseguido.
Nos encantó la calidad del gel de ducha.
Nivel de ruido baja o muy bajo, las puertas no golpean, el grifo de la ducha es cómodo. La distribución del baño bastante práctico.
Felicitaciones.
El desayuno temprano que pedimos para desayunar en el aeropuerto es justo y lo necesario.
Gracias!

Cons:

No nos gustó que a la hora del check in tuviéramos que hacerlo en la máquina.
No nos pudieron hacer la limpieza todos los días por justamente las veces que venía la limpiadora estábamos nosotros dentro. El caso es que cuando salíamos dejábamos el cartel colgado en la puerta y nunca vinieron por lo que en nuestra estancia nunca vinieron a limpiarnos la habitación.
Falta jabón de manos en el lavamanos.

Zentrale Lage
Pros:

Die zentrale, fußläufige Lage ist gut. Im Hotel gibt es auf jeder Etage eine Bilderausstellung. Das Badezimmer war sehr funktionell. Man konnte ein Frühstücksbuffet dazubuchen. Auch gab es eine kleine Speisekarte und die Speisen auf dieser waren sehr gut.

Cons:

Uns gefiel die Größe des Zimmers nicht. Es war sehr klein. Außerdem mussten wir beim Doppelbett jeweils über den anderen krabbeln, da das Bett nur von einer Seite zugänglich war. Für ältere, kranke oder füllige Menschen ein Problem! Anhand des Alters der Gäste sollte die Rezeption entscheiden, welches Zimmer der Gast bekommt. Außerdem fühlten wir uns in unserem EG-Doppelzimmer eingesperrt. Das Fenster war milchig, also nicht aus Klarglas, so dass man nicht hinausschauen konnte und es war versperrt. Mein Mann und ich würden dieses Hitel beim nächsten Dublinbesuch nicht mehr buchen. Das Frühstücksbuffet hatte keine große Auswahl und wurde auch nicht, ohne, dass man darauf hinwies, aufgefüllt.

One night stay...OUTSTANDING!
Pros:

What a great surprise! We found this hotel by chance and weren’t quite sure what to expect, but it exceeded our expectations. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff was absolutely fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. Even though our stay was only for one night, it left a lasting impression. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant stay!

Overall, we we can recommend it if you don’t mind a very small double room.
Pros:

The room was nice and clean, but a concern was that the room was a bit tight for two(2) people (with limited space for luggage, etc.)
The breakfast was exceptional. The hotel and restaurant staff was very good and helpful.
The location is not exactly central in Dublin, but very close to a tram stop that connects well to city center and the railway station. Also, the location is close to a stop for the airport bus.

Cons:

Again, the room seems a little small for two(2) people.
