Good accommodations in a good location. Loved the food carts nearby and the easy walk to the museum and a slightly longer walk to the very fun downtown. Quick Uber rides to anywhere you want to go. Good breakfast, nice restaurant and outdoor space, and a nice room. Recommend it.

Being a bit removed from the most touristy parts of Dublin suited me but still totally walkable within 20 or 30 minutes to where all the action is at Temple Bar and Trinity College. The restaurant and dining options at the hotel were excellent and the food delicious.

The rooms were clean but small. Staff was helpful, friendly and accommodating. It would have been nice for more shops and restaurant options closer. We did love the unexpected excitement of having the soccer playoffs while we stayed, stadium close by. Cool experience.

The hotel is very dated and way too expensive for the area. You can stay at the Marker hotel a couple blocks away for the same price and it's a 4-star hotel. The hotel itself is dated. The lobby is dark and feels like a conference center. The wifi didn't work in the room, there's no A/C, and the staff isn't particularly helpful or welcoming.
