This hotel was excellent, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay great. The only slight negative is breakfast wasn’t amazing, but there was plenty of choice to find something you wanted, and it was good enough to get you going for the day. I would definitely stay again, the service was outstanding.

We arrived in Dublin early morning on a red eye flight from Halifax. Quick taxi ride brought us directly to the hotel. We knew it was too early to check in but we wanted to drop our luggage off while we started our tour of the city. We were welcomed by Dawid and the front desk agents were so kind. They told us to come back after lunch as our rooms would be available by then. They even offered us breakfast - which was greatly welcomed after our flight. Hotel was so quiet and comfortable. We had heard (from other people) afterwards that area on O'Connell St was a bad area and unsafe at night. We didn't find get that feeling at all. We would definitely recommend it and stay there again!
