I really enjoyed my one night stay here in my small single bed room. I arrived fatigued from a red eye flight well before check in and they graciously allowed me to check in early. Staff were kind and helpful and I had a quiet stay near a very active area. I also appreciated the gym facilities which were better than the average hotel gym.

The property is located very close to the Temple Bar district, restaurants and pubs, all within easy walking distance. The staff is very friendly, the hotel restaurant is very convenient and has great food. The bar is very nice place to have a drink or two after spending the day in Dublin. If the room was a little bit bigger, the stay would perfect.

The hotel is in a very convenient, safe, and walkable location. The room was nice, and the breakfast in the hotel was good and worth the money. There are also loads of shops and restaurants nearby.

Great walkable location, clean premises and wonderful breakfast buffet option . First time in Dublin, I stayed here with my son and friends for 2 nights and during our stay O’Connell Street was closed off due to the protests. Fantastic vibe to the city and having all the farmers around made me feel extra safe.
