“I found the hotel's location particularly appealing; it's near Dublin's main park and within walking distance of key attractions, yet remains a quiet retreat. Breakfast offers nice gluten-free options and smoothies, and the fitness center is a real asset for a city hotel. It strikes me as a well-considered base for exploring Dublin.”

My room had a super comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful! I also found the location quite convenient. I could walk to many attractions.
The air conditioning was not effective, even at the highest setting. The toiletries were not labeled, so I could not tell which was shampoo! My hairdryer kept cutting out. It was quite annoying.
