Stressante
Pros:

Poco. La presenza del bollitore.

Cons:

La poca pulizia, il caldo con solo un ventilatore, la doccia senza telefono, il rumore assordante del ristorante interno che dicevi sorbirti tutta notte perché per il caldo deve tenere finestra aperta.

Angenehm mit Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten bei der Sauberkeit.
Pros:

Die Lobby und das Restaurant waren sehr schön. Das Frühstück war gut, aber könnte mehr Auswahl beinhalten. Sie war sehr zentral und im Gegensatz zu anderen fanden wir es überhaupt nicht laut obwohl unser Zimmer direkt gegenüber der Bar war. Es lagen schon Ohrstöpsel bereit, damit konnte man super schlafen. Das Personal war super freundlich und es war wirklich ein schöner Aufenthalt.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr klein, dafür fand ich den Preis zu hoch. Außerdem waren die Zimmer auch nicht ganz sauber.

Der Aufenthalt in Dublin was sehr spannend und schön. Es lohnt sich auf alle Fälle diese Stadt anzuschauen dies
Pros:

Sie war wunderbar zentral und alles war sauber.

Cons:

Leider war das Zimmer Mega laut. Nächtliches Fenster öffnen zur Kühlung des Zimmer bei sommerlichen Temperaturen war auf Grund der Lautstärke unmöglich. Eine Klimaanlage war nicht vorhanden. Für diese Tatsache war der Preis dann schon sehr knackig.

Good for partying, not good for sleeping at night unless you are drunk.
Pros:

Good breakfast.

Cons:

It's good if you are up for 2/3 hours of sleep during the night or if you are there just to party.
If you are with a 8 year a old child…that's a different story, my mistake, as I didn't think the noise would be that loud
