Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a prime location within walking distance of everything in Dublin, especially close to St Stephen's Green, Trinity College, and Dawson St The rooms are beautifully equipped, very spacious, and come with a handy sleep kit which is perfect for the city center location. However, we experienced an issue with an old room that made a loud rattling sound at night.
My stay at the hotel was like having my own little apartment in Dublin, a great place to relax after exploring the city. The rooms were constantly dark, needing all lights on, but they were still comfortable. The service, especially from the night porter and receptionist, was excellent, making me feel very welcome. The location was buzzing with nightlife, perfect for exploring the city, but room 309 was located above noisy nightclubs. The dining experience was like a secondary priority, with a sparse continental buffet. Overall, the hotel provides a cozy retreat after a day in Dublin with some minor drawbacks.
