Excellent location, very central. Room was spotless and comfortable. Breakfast in the morning had plenty of choice for the continental, with Irish breakfast also cooked to order. 24hr access with room card. No issues.

We checked in early evening after dark. Person at desk was a bit cooperative and a wee bit helpful. Neighbourhood very scary, unless of course you are comfortable with gangs of threatening looking young males, crack addicts, and sex trade workers. Room was nice but quite warm. Breakfast pretty good with very nice people serving.

Clean, cozy room, great linens and bedding. Excellent hot and continental breakfast included each day, plus an unbeatable rate. Bus and tram stops one and two minutes’ walk plus five minutes from O’Connell Street. Great restaurants and pubs within a block. Quiet room with large TV plus rainfall shower. Very happy and will stay again.

Just staying one night and wanted easy access to Luas so suited perfectly. Smallest room I have ever stayed in but very clean, warm, had all the facilities needed. Ideal for a one or two night stay or for a holiday for someone who would be spending most of the time out of the hotel. Having said that there was a nook where 4 foreigners played cards and seemed very happy.
Place very bright and welcoming, very clean and warm, reception staff very friendly and courteous. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Price, the cheapest I have had for some time. Would I go back? Most definitely

The stay was not value for money, for the price paid you would expect better room facilities. The breakfast was tasty but the staff were rude and you’d expect better tea!
The reception staff however were very good

The decor is a mix of Victorian and Georgian in the public areas and very modern new comfy in the rooms. VERY welcoming. BUSES right out the door
Shopping and pubs 3 minutes walk.
