The woman who checked us in “Georgina” was rude and unwelcoming! My room was very 70s! Very out of date!! The front desk staff was incompetent. Screwed up our dinner reservation and didn’t get my wake up call morning of departure! My friend had to change her room 3 times in 2 days because of a musty smell! Uncomfortable bed and street noise! We would not recommend this hotel! Also the vent fell out of the wall while she was showering and bruised her leg! Total nightmare! Book at your own risk😱

We were able to walk to our hotel easily from OConnell Street and Murray's Pub was just around the corner. The staff at the desk was very pleasant and helpful.

Property is just off O’Connell street, walking distance close to so many pubs, restaurants, shops, the River Liffey, Temple Bar area, train station, buses. Air conditioning for the room didn’t work until our last night. The front desk did get us a fan to use. We arrived straight from the airport, early, and we were able to check in!
