    Great variety of breakfast foods. Everything seemed fresh.

    Coffee was ok but could have been stronger.

    I got satisfactory breakfasts with mushrooms, tomatoes and continental also. Attentive and welcoming stuff in all areas, without being intrusive. The location was marvellous and perfect, adjacent to a college and a temple. The hotel was close to Dublin downtown.

    The location of the hotel is excellent. Right in the center of Dublin. All attractions can be easily reached.

    The view from the room and the rooms themselves did not correspond to the price.

    I enjoyed being there, everything was modern.

    The location was good and absolutely perfect to all the main attractions & Temple Bar, you may take train on Tara Street train station within 5 minutes walk from here. The restaurant was located within 600 feet.

    The staff was friendly and the breakfast buffet very extensive and delicious.

    The air conditioning? triggered multiple alarms during the entire stay. This especially at night and in the early morning hours. They apologized for the "inconvenience", but there was no solution to the problem.overall it was very loud. Room to the backyard with garbage compactor or similar and delivery from 7.00 a.m. in the morning. Also on the corridor it was quite lively - room opposite the ice machine.

    cozy room
    great pool
    sketchy area

    The room was cozy and well-furnished. I really enjoyed the pool and the spa services they offered,. On the downside, I did notice the area around the hotel could feel a bit sketchy at night, so just keep your wits about you 🌟

    the breakfast offered great variety, but check-in felt cold. for future guests, always confirm your room readiness to avoid waiting. enjoy the 24-hour reception for assistance.

    Location was excellent right on O'Connell street. Residents bar nice and relaxed. No rush to leave in the morning it was after 12 when we left.

    very busy in the evening as weddings going on not the place for a relaxed meal!
