The property is within walking distance to many attractions but located on a quiet street. Our room was cramped, but the bedding was comfortable. We would stay here again.

The facilities looks a bit old, room is a bit small but there is a bath tub, so I could get relaxed for bath taking.
Selectable breakfast was very nice.
The location is one or two blocks away from crowded area, and I could find good restaurants and shopping area soon.

Nice authentic rooms. Very big (we had 3 people). Rooms are comfortable and warm. The bathroom was massive and really modern. I will stay again.

Had a great stay in this cozy, classic hotel. Loved that it wasn't ultra-modern. Definitely catered to an older, more conservative crowd. Easy paid parking nearby. Downsides: no A/C so it was a bit stuffy in summer. And since it is near government buildings there were protests that carried through the open windows. Didn't mind though cause I support their liberal causes... and I'm a heavy sleeper!

- Small, very hot room in the summer.
- They have a policy of dropping off your key to the front desk and picking it up again every time you leave the building — not ideal.

This is a lovely property, old Irish style, so charming. Beds were comfortable, staff was nice, breakfast was lovely. We had an issue with noise from a close room but the manager handled it promptly. We would stay here again!

This was a great choice for our first visit to Dublin. The staff were lovely, rooms were a good size, breakfast was delicious, and the property could not have been more conveniently located. I especially loved the relaxing chairs next to the fireplaces in the lobby for an after dinner drink or
hot chocolate. We’d love to return.

Great location. Really helpful staff. Room was small. Single glazed windows were in keeping with the Georgian building but produced huge amounts of condensation overnight. The public rooms were terrific. Worth extra cost for a room upgrade

Nice property in a great location. Food not great. Front of house staff were very good. Bar staff very slow, ignoring or seemingly unaware that customers actually want to eat or drink whilst chatting to each other. one member of said bar staff was rude to the point of aggression. He tried to con us with someone else's unpaid bill. A disgrace. Reported him to management who,to be fair, apologised, but he did not Still considering taking it further.
