Great location
Pros:

The location was really convenient. It is very walkable, close to the train and many tour stops and attractions. The vibe in the hotel was very peaceful, with lots of places to have a quiet drink or read a book. Having a cafe and restaurant in the hotel was a great addition. Access was secure with key card required for entering the elevator and exiting the lobby.

Cons:

Saturday night was surprisingly loud which made it hard to sleep, but we did not have this experience any of the other days.

Pros:

The location is ideal, next to the famous Ha'Penny bridge and close to all the popular sights of Dublin. It is easy to find restaurants, pubs, etc nearby. It is also a stylish but very comfortable and well-appointed hotel, with great common areas to sit, have a coffee or drink, and rooms that provide everything I needed (extra points for nice bathroom amenities and large shower). The staff were helpful and welcoming as well.

Cons:

Everything was great!
