Very comfortable and enjoyable. Lovely welcoming staff
Pros:

Breakfast was plentiful and staff lovely
Was great having a restaurant and busy bar within the hotel - enjoyed the quiz night.
Added bonus is having parking on site in this area.

Cons:

Small thing which doesn’t reflect on stay but not a fan of floor tiles in the bedroom.

Great stay lovely friendly hotel. Would recommend
Pros:

Staff lovely
Very clean and comfortable
Ideal location for a weekend in Dublin with reasonable prices

Cons:

A couple in the room above were arguing
Very loud with bad language but I guess when prices are lower than most, one has to expect a few people now and again who don’t know how to behave.
It did not spoil our weekend and the staff were apologetic. Next time, they said, let us know immediately and we will ask them to be quiet.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The breakfast options were limited and the Irish breakfast was quite dry. Our room's door didn't always fully close. The fridge wasn't plugged in when we got there and that took time to chill. The shower drain wasnt as fast as the shower producing water, resulting in pooling and possible flooding. Noise could be heard clearly through the front door leading to the hallway.

Pros:

The outside space was terrific, especially with the good weather. I liked all the plants.

Cons:

A small complaint. The duvet on my single bed was VERY heavy plus it was a double and kept falling to one side. Not a biggie.

Pros:

L'operatrice presente al check-in di una gentilezza incredibile. Disponibile non solo a spiegare i servizi offerti dall'hotel ma anche extra per favorire e aiutare il soggiorno a Dublino. Plus hanno tenuto senza problemi le mie valigie fino all'arrivo del taxi. Ottima la pulizia delle camere e del bagno, colazione un po' scarsa soprattutto se dolce, ma in termini di colazione salata c'è un'ampia scelta.

Ordentliches Hotel in Dublin
Pros:

Gutes Hotel in Dublin mit kostenlosem Parkplatz. 40min zu Fuß zur Innenstadt. Zimmer war klein aber es war alles da was nötig ist.

Cons:

Es war kalt im Zimmer und die Heizung war nachts aus.
