Liked: Cleanliness
Overall the premises are clean and nice. However, due to the lack of air conditioning in the rooms, it was quite hard sleeping. I can imagine this is always the case during warm summer nights. It was way more cooler in the hallway than in the rooms. A fan was provided in the room but it was not enough to cool down the room temperature. I suggest that management rooms should consider installing ceiling fans if air conditioning will not be provided in future upgrades.

Expensive Meh

The hotel is definitely over priced for what it is. Our hotel room was soooo hot it was impossible to get comfortable even after management brought in 4 fans. Other patrons were complaining about the heat to eachother in the lobby as well. The continental breakfast was not free and was nearly $18 a plate. I couldnt even finish my food because some of it was cold or too salty. I hate bashing them like this but I felt like I needed to post this review. Its advertised as a 4 star but it is a 2.5 at best. Won't be back.

The property was good. It was probably my bad that I did not realize that the rooms did not have A/C and happened to be a hot day in Dublin. Other than that, the staff was good. I notice that the check-in process was a bit slow compared to other hotels like this one.

An absolutely fantastic property, relatively close to DUB airport, plenty of dining options within walking distance, and several Irish pubs also close by. All this for a very good price here in greater Dublin. I’ll definitely stay again while catching an early morning flight!
