A nice hotel near Temple Bar for travellers looking for an affordable, clean hotel with friendly staff.
Pros:

Close to temple bar without being in the centre of it.
Large bedroom
Excellent staff who were friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was good

Cons:

The room was a bit dated.
The bath water drained slowly. When I looked down the drain there was a massive clump of hair.
The cost of breakfast was not clearly articulated.

Pros:

The location is perfect for the city centre. Everything seems to be within a mile of the hotel. Within staggering distance of Temple Bar but still quiet at night.

Pros:

Location is superb... close to Dublin Express stops and right in the thick of it all for walking everywhere. If you are doing a quick layover or a short stay, its ideal... We had the family room which was room 102 basically seemed brand new...
Unfortunately was pricey during our visit, but according to Goggle can be a lot cheaper....

Cons:

The price and TV could be larger....

As above… we were mislead by parking charges, no reduction as we had not prebooked. We could have got cheaper parking in
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We were mislead by the parking. We got no 30% reduction on the total parking tariff as we had not prebooked the parking, a change that had only come in on the 1st September and the website is not Uptodate. We had to pay the extra cost. We found cheaper parking off Grafton street.

Fantastic location but hotel basic for the money.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is fantastic. The best thing about it. Also the bed was very comfortable and it was relatively quiet at night as long as you kept the window closed.

Cons:

The bedroom was basic for the money, and in need of refurbishment. The bathroom was particularly dated and the bedroom blinds didn’t work properly. Also there were no bedside tables - never stayed in a hotel without these before. We raised this with the reception but they came out with some strange reasoning.
