Breakfast was disappointing

Breakfast was disappointing. Food was very greasy. I've never been refused a latte in any hotel i have ever stayed in but i was here, also baffled how they don't stock HP brown sauce especially when serving an irish breakfast, bizarre.

The location is perfect if you are wanting to explore Temple Bar! You can definitely hear people partying pretty late but that didn’t bother us, it comes with the location. The room is also quite small but my partner and I are both on the smaller side so we were good with that too. In addition, the staff was absolutely amazing and you had to scan your card to get to the floor your room was on so we definitely felt very safe (Dublin itself felt really safe to us in general). I had the best sleep of the trip at this hotel due to the fresh linens, air conditioned room and comfy mattress - plus we were able to login to my Netflix on the tv which just helped us wind down at the end of the day.

Great stay - very conveniently positioned, lovely breakfast, fab staff, spotless room, stylish decor. NB, cosy double room is just that! You can make a coffee from one side of the bed, and close the curtains from the other side 😅 but that's a 'small' niggle overall. I would stay here again should I return to Dublin

Such a fun and unique hotel. We loved being right in the heart of Dublin, and peeking out the window to the streets in the nights when our jetlag kept us awake! One of the favorite places we stayed in Ireland.
