Everything was good except when we left we asked where to get the bus to the airport because traffic was blocked up because of the Pride parade and he sent us to a stop where we waited an hour before we realized no busses were stopping there. It took us 3 hours to get to the airport that day!

Location, location, location!

This hotel was amazing. Location was perfect being right across the Liffey from the temple bar area, but not right in it so it wasn’t noisy at all. We had a room on the top floor with a cute balcony. Staff were incredibly friendly and let us check in early since our room was ready. It’s so close/walking distance to all the main attractions. The AirPort Express bus was a short walk away. The only reason I wouldn’t give this hotel a 100% mark was because the bed was very firm with flat pillows and advertised as a queen, which was just two twins pushed together. Overall adorable and clean hotel with great kitchen amenities, and perfect location. I would absolutely stay here again

Our first room was so strange. massive construction zone outside our window that was very loud and ugly. also couldn't see the tv from bed it was on the same wall far away? I had to ask for a different room. second one was much better. Luckily guy at the front desk was kind. I think because they are set up like apartments not so much hotel rooms. coffee shop is great.
