Great service
Staff was friendly. I arrived right as checkout was beginning but a room was available for me and I was checked in right away after a long international flight! Location is good for accessing tourist attractions and hotel was quiet.

Great hotel
Small room but very comfortable and clean. Good location for sightseeing in Dublin. No parking at the hotel, but there is a safe undercover parking lot very close nearby and the hotel validates your ticket so you get a discount for the parking. Went to the onsite restaurant twice and enjoyed the food both times.

Such tiny rooms
The twin beds were so tiny and so was the room. It’s a city hotel but expected a bit more comfort in the room. Not great for 2 people.
