From adequate secure parking to a seamless and friendly check in I knew I was in for a great stay here. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean with some lovely perks. The whole hotel had a great feel, cosy with a touch of elegance. The restaurant and bar served a fantastic pint of Guinness at a reasonable price and the food was delicious and well priced. I will certainly stay here again when I'm back in Dublin.

It did the job for a few hours of shut eye between flights but certainly not a comfortable sleep at all. Beds feel like laying on a cardboard box, pillows and sheets feel like sandpaper. No continental or breakfast included. Way overpriced for the quality.

Everything was great. I liked the shortbread cookies in the room. Nice touch! There are a couple of pieces of furniture in the lobby that could be reupholstered.

Taking aside it was the day when everything went wrong. The Hotel system was down, door passes didn't work, wrongly given someone elses room, so scared the living daylights out of them when I tried to enter. My room felt like it hadn't been serviced properly as was missing drinking glasses/drinking water (a jug was provided), the room could have also done with a coffee machine at the price point. Overall the hotel is nicely done and was clean. I found food very restrictive for my food allergy and the staff didn't give the impression of being very well trained on them. It would be great to have healthier options that don't contain allergens, in this case gluten. Breakfast was expensive (€18) and dissapointing, blow torched cold tomatoes were memorable and like dinner was not served on a hot plate so a lot of the food was luke warm. I'm sure this would be better on another day, but basics could be improved upon for the money.
