The pros: Staff are friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, close to shopping, restaurants, pubs, museums, etc. Access to a quick breakfast downstairs and in room kitchenette makes getting a quick snack simple. The cons: Room temperature control did not work in the two rooms we were in. I don't know why but the hotel is hot. Other guests stated their bathroom was like a sauna and we found it difficult to sleep. The windows don't open more than an inch or two and this is the only way to keep the room comfortable even in November. Turning down the heat would be more eco-friendly, comfortable and profitable. The lighting in the rooms is also inadequate.

This was my home base for four nights. The staff checked me in with ease, and early at that. This was much appreciated. The location was ideal near the Ha'penny Bridge. Groceries and restaurants were a short walk away. I utilized the kitchen for several meals as well as the washer and dryer on my last night. Despite proximity to bustling streets, the rooms are quiet during the evenings. The rooms are well considered in layout, design and cleanliness. The bathroom was also a gem. Every staff member encountered was kind and professional.

Great place to stay for the convenience of temple bar and other places to walk to eat and see, close enough to Guinness and Jameson for a 20 minute walk. Great service from staff and the appliances and kitchenette were great, bed was quite stiff but that’s alright. Good deal for Dublin.

We were in Dublin for 11 days and the location of the hotel was perfect. We were able to walk to Teeling, Jamison, and Guinness all under 30 minutes. Temple Bar is less then a 5 minute walk and walking to locations for day tour pickups were all less then 15 minutes. Plenty of pubs and shopping around. My only negative is the hotel needs to habe better instructions for use of the washer and dryer in the units. Staff was very friendly and we would definitely stay here again.

The staff was nice. The room seemed to be newly remodeled. The ceiling looked unfinished. The bathroom sink clogged as soon as we used it, but they fixed it same day. There were no utensils provided. The location was great as it was near all the tourist sights.
