Hilton Park Victorian Gardens

Great bargain. Right on the bus line to the center of Dublin. Very clean. Nice kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave and a Centra downstairs. We got our LEAP passes there. The wet room was an adjustment but it was fine. Easy parking and load-in. Staff on-duty 24/7. Nice choice of eateries downstairs. I enjoyed meeting students there for summer study as well.

The room and bathroom were clean and well appointed and the breakfast was very tasty.

The room was okay, it had a bad smell (I think it was the carpet) but we got used to it. There was only bath towels, no hand towels. The view was amazing. The restaurant downstairs was amazing. We did not spend a lot of time in the hotel, and more in the surrounding area, so that smell did not take the score down too low :)
