Lovely stay for a triple room
Pros:

The mattress and duvet are very comfortable. Thick mattresses that weren't hard but had good support. No pain in the joints in the mornings. We stayed 6 nights. Airconditioning in the summer was great.

Cons:

For a four-star hotel, I expected a refrigerator.

The room was on the small side.

Pros:

Bonne situation géographique pour profiter de la ville à pieds (15 à 20 mn de Trinity et du Centre Ville) et de repartir tôt pour l'aéroport. Chambre moderne et douche agréable par rapport aux équipements d'autres établissements plus classiques... pas eu l'opportunité de tester le petit déjeuner ;-) Ne pas hésiter à visiter le musée de l'immigration et de la culture irlandaise à 5mn sur le bord des quais.

Cons:

Prix un peu élevé sans le petit déjeuner en comparaison des autres hébergements de notre parcours où le tarif avec le petit déjeuner était équivalent ou en dessous ...

All in all a nice hotel to stay at with friendly helpful staff.
Pros:

Breakfast was fine with lots of choice. We also had an evening meal which was delicious and the staff were very attentive. The reception staff were helpful in assisting us with taxi’s and booking tickets for the hop on hopp off buses.

Cons:

Only a couple of minor things there weren’t enough tea bags and milk in the room to cater for three people and we had to ring up about that soon after arrival. This maybe a staffing problem but at breakfast tables were not being cleared/cleaned in a timely manner making it difficult to find somewhere to sit.

Nice hotel, good breakfast and public transport provided accessibility to the city centre.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, no eateries or bars close by but had in-house bar & bistro (expensive). Tea & coffee facilities in the room were welcome. No fridge, nice room and bathroom.

Cons:

A fridge would have been good.

Nice convenient place to stay.
Pros:

Very modern and clean and comfortable hotel . The location is great. Easy walk into the centre of town . 10 minutes drive from the Ferry terminal. Plenty of parking very near by. Price is good too.

Cons:

The food is really very poor. We had to eat in the hotel due to bad weather outside and an early start and it was clearly all pre packaged stuff. All the comments about fresh Irish ingredients are very misleading. Really should and could do way better !! Even the Guinness isn't poured well and that's a sin in Dublin. The dining room is nice but the bright lights are reminiscent of a canteen.

Clean & tidy with a good breakfast
Pros:

Nice modern facility with a great included breakfast

Cons:

Albeit that the booking did say check in was only at 3pm, we did arrive early and were told that sorry checkin could only be at 3pm, but we weren’t the only ones that was told that that then resulted with a large amount of people queuing and waiting to all check in after 3pm. Suggest that this needs to be reviewed and possibly stagger half an hour each side of that.

Comfortable, convenient place that punches above its weight
Pros:

This our best hotel on our Ireland visit. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bathroom was, too, with all accessories fully furnished. The staff were cheerful and helpful. The hotel was located within walking distance of most things we did and within train stations and tram stops for the rest. I can easily imagine staying here again.

Cons:

Nothing.
