Right in the middle of North Dublin Center
Wonderful desk staff. Liam, Sophia, Diyar (sp) & Ashley were wonderfully helpful. The hotels right in the middle of Center City North about two blocks from The Spire, evev Temple Bar and the river were in walking distance.

Will stick to a group hotel
I have stayed in many hotels and I have to say this was the most uncomfortable bed I have slept in. When I sat on the mattress, it sunk so deep I though I was going to end up on the floor.
Not sure about the placement of the water glasses on the shelf behind the toilet

Good location
Room was fine and as expected. Location was good. However night 2 they were having their annual cleaning of the kitchen exhaust system which they would have known well in advance. It was an extremely noisy night until they finished which was around 2:30-2:45 am. No warning was given to guests and no compensation such as 25-50% off for breakfast or dinner etc. This annual disrupting day could be handled so much better

A good budget hotel
I give it 5 stars, but I don't mean it is a 5 star hotel, I mean it is good for a hotel on the budget end. Of course "budget" hotel in Ireland is still really expensive. The rooms are VERY small, and you will be tripping over things. And of course it has that ubiquitous Irish half shower wall. But service was good, breakfast was fine (well, a bit overpriced for what it was actually), mostly quiet, clean.

Great location, small rooms
The hotel was in a great location. The Aircoach bus from the airport dropped us off within a 5 minutes walk distance at O’Connel Street Upper. The hotel was very clean. I would have given it a five except that the room was very small and the floor tiles in the bathroom were loose because the grout had deteriorated and not been replaced. Some of the tiles had been caulked together rather poorly giving it a not so skilled DIY kind of look. Other than that the hotel was nice.
