Situated overlooking the river Liffey, close to Temple Bar but not affected by noise. Easy walk to Dublin Castle, O’Connell street, Temple Bar. There is a bar in the hotel but we didn’t use it. Staff were always on reception, checked on an hour early. Room was clean and well equipped. The bed was super king medium firm and comfy. The shower in the bathroom was powerful and easily adjustable temperature

The hotel was lovely! Staff were so welcoming. Room was comfortable and clean. Lobby bar was great. The hotel is steps away from the Dublin Express bus stop, making it such an easy transfer from the airport. Would stay here again anytime!

The location of the property was perfect and it was a quality establishment. It's a great central location to explore Dublin. We can in on the red eye and showed up at 1030 am very tired. We were hoping they would keep.our luggage until the 4:00 check-in. They gave us our key and let us check-in on the spot. We were able to get a well needed nap in before heading out. Very accommodating. I would recommend for sure.
