Our stay was very good for the one night we were there. Great staff, beautiful hotel, centrally located, and safe.
Pros:

Great location. Beautiful hotel with many amenities including kitchen. Very safe situation as key cards are required in elevator and past 10 pm at entrance.

Cons:

The only downside was the construction which was quite noisy very early in the morning. We had to have window open as it was too warm in the room. It would be good to know ahead of time about the construction next door.

Pros:

Gute Lage, direkt im Zentrum

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war sehr dunkel. Nur ein Fenster, welches nur gekippt werden konnte und vor Schmutz noch dunkler gewirkt hat. Eine WC-Rolle für 3 Tage und 2 Personen. Sonst war das Zimmer sauber. Speziell war, dass während 3 Tagen keine Zimmerreinigung gemacht wurde. Auf Wunsch und Aufpreis hätte eine Reinigung gebucht werden können.

I would stay again
Pros:

did not have the breakfast. It was a quick stay but I would come back. Staff was great. Room amenities unexpected and welcome. Really liked I could plug in my devices without an adapter-since I had lost mine.

Cons:

the patio outside the restaurant was dirty. Full ashtrays and the couch cushions were dirty

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay here! The staff were very professional, kind, and welcoming. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed, including coffee, tea, a kettle, kitchen facilities, an iron, and other useful amenities. Also wide room. The bathroom was spacious and spotless, with hand soap, body wash, and shampoo provided. The room was also beautifully and elegantly furnished. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back the next time we visit Dublin. We would also highly recommend this hotel to our friends!
