Clean hotel that is located close to Connolly St. Not too many decent restaurants to dine nearby and it is away from the action of the south side. The hotel has its own restaurant, however. Room was adequate.

Easy to get to from the airport bus route, the hotel is convenient, clean, really well presented and has its own lovely coffee shop. The room was immaculate and really nicely decorated. We walked to many tourist spots and also used the bus/tram stops which are just round the corner.

Great location for the city centre. Rooms clean and comfortable. We were a family of four with two teenage children and we had a quad room which worked out well and cheaper than getting two rooms.
