We chose this hotel to stay 1 night on our first trip ever to Ireland (long stopover on a connecting flight), and it was perfect for that. Able to walk to at least a dozen nearby pubs, including a district that includes one of the most famous pubs in Ireland, many of them buzzing with nightlife. Also walkable to the river, Dublin Castle, and a beautiful cathedral across the street. The hotel itself was perfect, with tons of space for our family of 5, and super comfortable beds. Staff was extremely nice, giving us an extensive welcome talk and hotel overview, plus a lot of help upon checkout. A little noisy as it is along a main road. But would not hesitate to stay there again.
