Location: Good, in the heart of Dublin! People are not lying about the noise, it is LOUD. however, bring ear plugs and you'll be fine, bed comfy. Free tea and coffee in the room. For a one or two night stay and if your a heavy sleeper or just want an ideal place in the city I would recommend this hotel.

Not as much of a dump as other reviews might suggest. Photos of this hotel are also wildly misleading. More of a hostel than a hotel which doesn’t reflect the price. Decent location close to the city but the local area is rough

Ok the honest truth. The reviews are right. Loud until the morning. The bar, the tram, etc- however I knew that- I brought eat plugs and it was not an issue. Check in staff 10/10 so nice and friendly. No elevator and you have to be buzzed in each time you come up. Not an issue at all. Room was defiantly old. Beds seemed new and extremely comfortable! Good towels, linens and had a coffee machine in room refilled everyday. So overall? Not bad- in the middle of everything and was cheap. So I recommend it.
