Uma otima localização e um bom atendimento da equipe
Pros:

Uma otima localização, da pra fazer tudo a pé, sem a loucura do Templo Bar. Se estiver vindo de Belfast o ônibus para em frente, para ir ao aeroporto pega o ônibus em frente
Tem um Pub logo em baixo e o barulho nao atrapalha, se precisar comer de verdade na rua atrás tem vários restaurantes chineses e indianos, pra quem quer fugir dos lanches.
O café da amanhã atende ao básico

Cons:

Talvez um pouco mais de frutas no café da manhã, nada que comprometa

Pros:

Best location.

Cons:

My booking was supposed to include parking. Firstly, the parking was not located on the hotel premises, and I had to pay an additional $62 for two days of parking.

O Connell Street looks "run down"
Pros:

Location

Cons:

While the location is excellent I did not feel safe at times on O Connell Street.Lots of begging and witnessed a lady shopkeeper being assaulted in the Vape shop by 3 teenage boys and no presence of Gardai to be seen

Goed en Dublin aan je voeten.
Pros:

Prima locatie en goede kamer. Goed bed, goede douche. Motoren in de parkeergarage 300 meter verderop, het hotel betaald de helft. Op loopafstand van Temple Bar. Wij hadden het ontbijt voordat het ontbijt er was, omdat de boot naar Wales niet wilde wachten. Maar de koffie stond klaar en er lagen zakjes om broodjes in te doen om mee te nemen. Naast een gezellige maar grote pub met live muziek en dansshow

Cons:

Met €210,- per nacht het duurste hotel van onze trip. Maar ja, wel midden in Dublin….
