Outstanding hotel and great experience, staff was attentive to our needs from the moment we checked in. The room was lovely, one comment would be the room was a little dark so maybe some more lighting. The location was fabulous, off the main tourist beat but 5 mins walk away and Trinity College right behind.

We upgraded to the Executive King and we’re super happy we did so. The bed was amazing. We slept like babies. The amenities, the bathrobe and the Nespresso machine were, wonderful. we also had access to the executive lounge for light snacks, bottled water, and sodas, beer and wine, which was lovely after coming back to the hotel from a day of walking around Dublin. The staff members were all super nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Hotel was very good and remarkably quiet for city centre (we stayed on 5th Floor). We had an issue with the booking (from Expedia side rather than the hotel) and the receptionist was very helpful and pragmatic in resolving it so that we had a great experience with them.

Awful experience - mucky and stressful stay
Firstly, there are some good things about this hotel. Very comfortable beds, large spacious rooms and very quiet given its about 10min walk from the centre. However, this hotel was a horrible experience ftom thr start. I realised on my first evening the bedfing was stained but told by reception housekeeping only worked till 4pm so couldnt be changed. The next morning I went to reception and again asked for the bedding to be changed. Came back later to find the bed had been remade but still mucky sheets. Breakfast was fine but for money I would go else where. Staff clearly struggled to understand guest requests as I was bought hot water when I requested a latte and the next table said they were calling it alex bingo as they never got what they asked for. When checking out I was charged for double the breakfasts and also another room at first. I also raised the bedding issue and whilst very apologetic the receptionist just blamed the external laundry company not seeming to get that my issue was more with hotel staff for not rectifying the issue. I wasnt offered any compensation for having to sleep in a dirty bed just the receptionists direct email for making sure I have a clean bed if I booked again. I will definately not be booking again.
