Great staff!

The staff is very friendly and helpful! Unfortunately we had a flat tire on our rental car about 5 minutes into our drive to our hotel. After we walked to our hotel the front desk manager, Kris, helped us find a tire iron and get on our way. Our stay was wonderful too, very nice place.

Great stay!

The room was small yet very cozy and beautiful. It was close to quite a few restaurants and a shirt walk from Suffok St. I would happily stay there again.

The hotel was well presented and the staff were very helpful. The location is a nice stroll away from the hustle & bustle of the city centre, but near enough to offer a pleasant stroll. We ate in the Bar Restuarant and found it excellent food & value for money. We would use the same hotel again.

Everything went great. Staff were mostly helpful, and the location is just a short walk from Dublin centre, and 40 meters from a bus stop that city tours stop to pick up and drop off passengers. Everything was warm, comfortable, and most importantly: clean.
