A good short term place to stay.
Pros:

The hotel was well located with good off street parking. Staff were very friendly.
The restaurant was exceptional for both dinner and breakfast. Nice atmosphere

Cons:

The rooms were far too hot and we were unable to adjust the temperature. This made for uncomfortable sleeping

Nice hotel but hot in the room
Pros:

The connection to the city center and to the airport is great with a bus or bolt.
The room very clean.
Comfortable, big enough for a family.
Great pub across the street.

Cons:

It was so hot in the room during the night and the temperature outside were only 24 °C. The window opens just a little and there is no AC.

Komfortowy pobyt w Dublinie
Pros:

Lokalizacja bardzo dobra, przystanek autobusowy obok hotelu- ok 30 min do centrum, sklep Lidl, restauracje- polecam tajska, jest pysznie . Hotel bardzo przyjemny, dobrze wyposażone pokoje, można wieczorem posiedzieć na dole i napić się kawy, winka, piwa itp, możliwość pozostawienia bagaży , uprzejmy personel, bardzo pomocna Pani manager w restauracji.

Cons:

Śniadania typowo angielskie i nie wiedzieć czemu lekko przypalone tosty :-) wiec jak ktoś nie lubi tłusto zjeść z rana to słabo.
Nietypowe serwowanie do stolików kawy i herbaty , nie ma napojów wystawionych , a czasami personel nie wyrabiał i na napoje trzeba było poczekać. Na plus jest to, że można zamówić omlet zamiast "szwedzkiego angielskiego stołu " i jest ciepły i smaczny ale nie chwalą się tym, trzeba pytać o poprosić i jest OK.

Great for access to the Airport.
Pros:

Nice lobby and staff were very friendly. Bar and grill had a fantastic menu and most of the food was very good. Seafood Chowder was amazing and the Lamb Shank was very tasty. Sea bass was suspect...see below. We didn't check out the rest of the amenities. Good size car parking lot with a 10 euro fee.

Cons:

If you want A/C ensure you book a room with that option as not all rooms have it. Small room if you go the basic route. With two small suitcases and a twin arrangement, we had very little room to maneuver. You get what you pay for in Europe hotels. Getting to the airport was roughly 25-30 minutes with morning traffic. Two of us had Sea Bass dinner at the Bar and Grill and both of us had some GI distress over the night and into the day, one much worse than the other - This was the only common item that we ate the previous day.

Very expensive because of Westlife concert- €260 a lot to pay for 1 night
