Great location
First thing was the very late check in. I mean what is going on with 3pm room availability.
Ridiculous. Hire more staff!!
Room was pleasant, but no fridge!!
It’s location is terrific if you want to walk to popular sites. Darkeys right next door was an absolute blast. Typical Irish pub with exceptional service and food.
Syltayed 2 nights to see Dublin City, which did not disappoint. Absolutely loved the Irish hospitality.

Great location, bathroom sinks are terrible
This hotel is in a great location and we could easily walk to restaurants, pubs, shopping, yoga studios, and other attractions.
Rooms have plenty of space to spread out, comfortable bed, large bathroom.
Carpet is older and a bit musty. Because there is no AC, tile or other hard flooring would be a better choice.
Biggest cons: Bathroom sink has two separate faucets so you either get scalding or cold water. Faucets were placed too close to the sides of the bowl so you can barely get your hands under to wash. Water pools out onto the back counter. No stopper to fill the sink either. Bathroom wasn’t super clean.

This hotel's best asset is its location. You are never more than 15 minutes away walking from all the major tourist attractions.
The rooms are a bit dated, but for the price and location, it's worth it.
It's also a great place to stay if you are watching a gig at Vicar Street.

Bra
The room was spacious. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good. The location of the hotel was quite good. But the doors to the rooms slammed extremely hard every time they closed, so if someone came home at 3 am everyone could hear it. In addition, the cleanliness was somewhat poor, as I found several large dust mites, and there was a thread of dust across the room on the ceiling. I can't understand why they didn't see it, because that was the first thing I saw. But that said, I could stay here again.

Great stay
This was a great little hotel, just on the outskirts of Temple Bar, so it was easy to walk to everything but you don’t need to deal with the loud party noises. Room was great, staff was really friendly and helpful.
