Overall it was a great stay. The staff was great. The rooms were great. I will say that the profile said there was a restaurant on property but every time we asked about it, the kitchen was “closed”. There was also a situation where one of the staff members made themselves a latte at the coffee bar in the lobby and then when we went to order lattes, we were told that the coffee bar was closed.

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.

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.
