Daina, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Room was comfortable, as we arrived early morning, we were able to leave our bags in a secure room. Hotel is located on a side street off O'Connell Street, where there are a several eating places and shopping. A short walk will take you to the bridges across the Liffey to visit Trinity College, St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, etc. Close to local buses, etc. 20-30 minutes to the airport by taxi.

Kelsa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Easy to get to from the airport bus route, the hotel is convenient, clean, really well presented and has its own lovely coffee shop. The room was immaculate and really nicely decorated. We walked to many tourist spots and also used the bus/tram stops which are just round the corner.
Emma Louise, 2-night trip

James, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Clean hotel that is located close to Connolly St. Not too many decent restaurants to dine nearby and it is away from the action of the south side. The hotel has its own restaurant, however. Room was adequate.
Michelle, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location for the city centre. Rooms clean and comfortable. We were a family of four with two teenage children and we had a quad room which worked out well and cheaper than getting two rooms.
