Stayed for a few nights with my friend as part of our girls trip. Upon arriving they let us keep our suitcases there so we could explore a bit before check-in. We asked about vegan friendly places for food and drink and were given lots of options. It was very central to all the things that we wanted to go and see. The room was really clean and we had a nice view down the road to the river Liffey. Would absolutely love to stay again the next time I visit Dublin.

The staff were really nice. They were helpful and kind. The room was pretty dirty. The carpet was coming up in places and it wasn’t clean. The bathtub didn’t drain properly so every time we took a shower, it filled up and then slowly drained. The location was good. It was easy to walk to different places. My sister and her husband stayed there as well and their room was updated. It was cleaner. The coffee pot was cheap and only did a tiny bit of coffee at a time. My sister and her husband and my husband, and I felt that it should’ve been nicer for the amount of money we spent.

I first arrived to this location and was not feeling well. I had been sick on the plane was feeling horrible. I arrived 3 hours early, but as the clerk could see on my face he saw to it that my room was made ready as soon as possible. I appreciate that so much I was able to settle into my room take a hot shower which helped so much. This location is centrally located from all the attractions. Everything I wanted to see and do was within walking distance anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. The room was very clean and nice. Thank you for a wonderful stay I will be back.
