If you are visiting for Dublin centre it is too far out. There were a few streets around the hotel that we were hassled. Shower was also not clean. Although we expected it the rooms are very small it is to be advised that it is a bed with a desk very close to it and feels a bit cramped. The breakfast was good with a good range to chose from.

The hotel was great for transport links. Bus stop very close by. Was disappointed that the shower was over the bath. Would of expected a stand alone shower. Breakfast was fine but we didn't see the menu options to order eggs or waffles until the last day as nobody had told us. Only one working lift which means long waiting times at busy times.

Croke Park in Dublin is so much more than an impressive sports stadium. “Croker”, as it is locally known, is in many ways is a bastion of Irish identity that protects the spirit of Gaelic games from forces seeking to dislodge it. If this all sounds a bit dramatic you should take the fantastic Croke Park Experience tour to get a very real sense of just how important and deeply ingrained the GAA and Gaelic games are to Ireland’s sense of itself.
