8/10 Good
"This hotel was clean and quiet with great staff and located right in Temple Bar. We are early birds and did not visit the bars or music scene so some of the location was lost on us. So close to Grafton Street and other great shopping though. If you want to visit bars and pubs this place is excellent and even if you do not there was no noise. We would have loved a gym here but other than that it was fine. The staff made it. They were lovely."
