Fantastic hotel!

This hotel is wonderful. I love the creative use of space, the eco-friendliness, and the location. My only complaint would be that there should be more USB charging ports in the room. I had a hard time charging all my devices because there was only 2. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Dublin!

Highly recommended

Location of the hotel was amazing. So close to everything and walking distance to most sights. Hotel was clean and had a relaxed and contemporary vibe. Access to unlimited filtered water. Rooms were small but not unexpected - they were as described on the website (more hangers and hooks please). Staff all very welcoming, accommodating and friendly and would definitely recommend it and stay here again

Lovely hotel in great location right in the centre of Dublin. However, we were on the 3rd floor and got very little sleep due to a night club below which we were unaware of before booking. In view of this we probably would choose to stay elsewhere in future.

Third time staying here and it’s just fantastic! From the interiors to the staff, everything is amazing. It’s in the perfect central location to explore Dublin, yet quiet and safe despite being near Temple Bar. Can’t wait to come back again!
