Pros:

Great location. Very close to airport coach drop off and the Luas. Right in centre of Dublin.

Cons:

The rooms were ridiculous. Ours was tiny. We had a twin room. The beds weren't even single size. They were narrow and so light that if you dared roll over (and miraculously didn't fall out of it), they moved across the room. The bathroom wasn't much better. The toilet was so close to the wall that you couldn't get the paper of the loo roll holder, without maneuvering half off the toilet. There was no way to turn the shower on without soaking your head. The towels were tiny. The hotel gave you 2 tiny sachets of coffee for 2 people, no biscuits!
The WiFi was intermittent so the tv didn't work because the signal kept going.
And our view was of some bins!
You would accept all this if it was a cheap hotel, but it wasn't!!

Overall, a good hotel with helpful staff, in a somehow uneven location
Pros:

Very helpful staff, very good coffee in the hotel cafe, location close to everyting. Overall clean, although the room was a but small.

Cons:

The hotel is located in a rough neighborhood. It is a very central location which feels completly safe during the day with tons of police around and the people just going about their business. However, later at night it transforms completely, infested with junkies and groups of teenagers looking for trouble.
