Nice enough hotel. They are re doing their lobby so it’s a bit hectic with construction. The room was nice but the floors (hard surfaces) wasn’t cleaned very well. There were accumulated dust that was still on floor. Never once was the hallway clear of bags of linens from other rooms checking out. Restaurant was so so. Don’t get the chicken parm. The chicken was maybe 2 ounces.

I was charged for early check in even though we checked in at 1500. I requested for an early check in but when I inquired at noon, I was told that there was no availability so we waited in the lobby until 3pm. I was charged 40 euros anyway when we checked out.

Great value for money, conveniently located

Room was tiny, clean, we had no windows in our room, hair dryer was on a different floor in a "beauty room", the corridors were quite dark and the rooms numbers were hard to see. The hotel was very conveniently located right at the underground and the price was very competitive and affordable.

Excellent.

Great, friendly helpful reception staff who were able to check us in a little earlier than 3 due to illness. Room was excellent in that the beds and pillows were very comfortable and spacious room with 2 double beds. Only small note was no switch to operate fan in bathroom. Not cheap but excellent location.

It was very hot while in Dublin and there is no a/c but they did provide a fan which did alleviate the uncomfortableness. Pool closes early for us 9:15. Breakfast was fair but expensive. Other than that a very comfortable place to stay.

Very helpful staff, held our bags in the lobby on arrival and departure. The room was clean and well kept. Located in a transport hotspot with a lovely bar and the river just down the street. The lobby is currently undergoing a refurbishment and a demolition site to the side of the hotel but we were not impacted by the noise etc of this. The room even had a fan which was especially needed in this hot weather. Thanks again!
