    cramped room
    temperature control

    Cramped room design left little room for personal belongings!!! Noise from outside was disruptive at night!!! Wi-Fi connectivity problems. Temperature control issues meant some rooms were uncomfortably cold!!! Confusion around parking charges added stress to check-out!!!

    friendly staff
    central location
    cramped room
    wi-fi issues

    Big hype, little substance

    A lovely lobby greets you, but things quickly turn underwhelming. The rooms felt cramped with minimal storage and uncomfortably cold temperatures. Dinner waits were lengthy, and Wi-Fi issues plagued my stay. While the breakfast was decent, the pricing left me questioning value for money. I expected more for the price paid.

    affordable car park
    great breakfast variety

    Just an excellent fit for a quick weekend visit in Dublin with very good value for money. The breakfast had a great variety, and the staff made my mum's 70th special! Pro tip, The car park is affordable, at just €16 for the night.

    Location

    Strong smell of smoke in our room despite requesting non smoking room. When we complained about this, a maintenance guy was sent in to spray the carpet but it didn't help. We ended up leaving the windows open so the noise outside became an issue. We also requested a double room however, it wasn't a double bed. Two single beds together.
