Five Stars!!!
Pros:

The staff were very lovely and helpful!

Cons:

The room was lovely, took a bit of time to work the AC to make it comfortable, but that was more on personal preference rather then a fault on the hotel.

A hidden gem of a hotel with peace, tranquility, fair prices, and a lovely staff
Pros:

Bed was super comfy, and the price was fair. I live in the area and needed a room for a night while guests were staying in my place. Could not have been more delighted. It was quiet and relaxing, like a little oasis of tranquility (hard to find in Dublin).

Cons:

Nothing
