Great location but noisy due to being in the heart of Temple Bar area
Pros:

The hotel room was small with 2 queen size beds but sufficient. Beds were very comfortable. Staff were amazing and we even got an early check-in. Breakfast was included and a really good order-off-the-menu breakfast. Location was amazing in the heart of Temple Bar and close to many restaurants and bars but that meant it was noisy well into the night and in the morning too.

Très bien situé, mais les prestations ne suivent pas
Pros:

Hôtel idéalement situé, en plein cœur de Temple Bar ! C'est l'endroit parfait si vous aimez l'animation : le bar situé juste en dessous propose une ambiance électrique avec de nombreux concerts de musique live chaque soir

Cons:

Confort des chambres :
L’équipement laisse à désirer. Le lit double est trop étroit (140x200) pour un confort optimal. De plus, les fenêtres en simple vitrage ne ferme pas bien n’isolent ni du froid ni du bruit.

​Service & Propreté :
Le ménage est effectué de manière très approximative et beaucoup trop tardivement (parfois vers 15h00).

​Petit-déjeuner :
Le petit-déjeuner, qui se prend au bar de l’hôtel, a été une grande déception. Le choix est très limité (service à la carte uniquement) et l'attente est interminable, même en arrivant à 9h00. Pour couronner le tout, l’hôtesse s'est montrée particulièrement désagréable, nous parlant sur un ton déplacé sans aucune raison.

Hôtel très bien situé à Temple Bar
Pros:

- Personnel de l’accueil très sympathique.
- Chambre au 3eme étage doté d’un petit balcon, avec vue sur le Liffey.
- Petit déjeuner (breakfast) consistant.
- Situation top, dans le quartier Temple Bar, très animé.
- La salle du petit déjeuner du matin se transforme en pub le soir, avec groupe de musique.

Cons:

Après la réservation faite sur booking.com pour 3 nuits petit déjeuner inclu (1043€), nous avons dû nous acquitter de 157€ supplémentaires (non signalé sur booking) car notre séjour était > à 2 nuits. Au moment du Check out, il faut payer 10€/chambre pour laisser les valises à la bagagerie de l’hôtel.

Great location, value, staff, breakfast. A wonderful stay.
Pros:

Great location, kind staff. They allowed us to leave our bags when we got there early. Comfy bed and a nice view of the river from our room. Breakfast in the bar was great value - you get to order one thing from the menu and then self serve tea, coffee, juice, toast.
