Great Location and Staff

A nice hotel with a great location and an excellent staff. The canal area it is in has many restaurants , including the one connected to the hotel which is quite good. It is a three minute walk to the DART station where you can easily get to fabulous locations like Bray and Dun Laoghaire quickly. The hotel is showing a bit of age and the beds were not super comfortable, but the staff and the breakfast made this a really nice stay!

The only thing that stood out about this property was the shower — great two-piece fixture with strong pressure and consistent temperature. Note well: parking is only free if you book direct. At check in they told me is was €20. At checkout they said, “oh and you get our discount for parking,” which was the exact opposite of true. I got the Expedia surcharge. The rooms are blah. The TV reception is poor, often getting blurry/grainy. There’s no AC / ventilation, and the windows have a small opening. In the heat of summer, it is hot and stuffy inside. The crowd is totally business travelers. If you’re coming to Dublin on holiday, spend a little more to book a comfortable spot with a better vibe.

Really liked and enjoyed this hotel - we got a nice spacious room, parking and walking distance to where we wanted to go and explore. Slight issue with the shower on the last morning but i think it was due to just a very busy morning so possibly too many attempting to use the shower at the same time. Mentioned it at reception at check out and they were apologetic about it which I appreciated. Highly recommend this hotel, and will book to stay there again.

I can't think of anything I didn't like. The staff were all very friendly and accomodating, the room was spacious and clean. The restaurant was very good, although the menu was limited. The food was delicious and service was wonderful. Laundry service was reasonable and it was conveniently located to public transportation, small grocery stores and other restaurants. I'll be going back!

We were in Dublin for a concert. Location wasn’t the greatest. The worst was the bed! The bed was absolutely atrocious! Neither my husband nor I could sleep on it it was so bad! I’d rather sleep on the floor than on that bed/ mattress. We won’t be returning any time soon. Place was clean, but if you want a nice comfy sleep I would not be staying here.
