Such a pleasure to stay there for the weekend. The service is very friendly. The place is beautiful, clean and tidy. It’s perfectly located at 10 min walk to the Temple area for the Pubs in the evening and 5 min to the Spire which is the center of the city with all the stores, bus stations and accommodations. The hotel is away from the most noisy part of the city which make it quiet at night. The breakfast is delicious and generous. I will go back for sure on my next trip.

Staff were good and helped us with an early breakfast and taxi on the morning we had to leave. Room was nice and location was good for walking to downtown Dublin. Enjoyed the little roof garden area which is nice for a coffee.

The hotel was cute..style was charming with an intentionally throwback feel. No a/c but they did provide a fan. Likely not much need for A/C as Dublin seems to cool off at night. Breakfast was nice and room was relatively spacious. The linens and beds were nice. Bathroom was upgraded (rain shower), modern style. The main issue we had is that the street is a little sketchy overall. The hotel is a 15 min walk to Trinity College (across the river) and a little outside of the most touristy areas...we saw a fair amount of drug use in the area, which is nothing to do with the hotel at all, but maybe a function of being a bit off the main tourist area in a big city. Great little pub less than a block away (the Celt).
