Wonderful first time in Dublin

The location is great, the staff was very friendly, and the breakfast buffet was really. There were a couple minor issues with housekeeping. We had to ask for sheets a couple times for the pullout bed and we had to go to them for toilet paper a couple times instead of it just being replaced. All in all it was a very positive experience and we would stay there again

Very nice hotel, clean room and close to a lot of things including the city tram and shopping. But for our stay the shining stars were breakfast and all of the staff. Breakfast was excellent with a full compliment of items. The staff at breakfast and front desk were exemplary: attentive, pleasant, and at peak form doing an excellent job. We were very impressed.

The hotel room was amazing, and the breakfast buffet was incredible. But the location right downtown was very sketchy/busy/noisy/dirty and the parking situation was less than ideal - you need to park in a garage 2 blocks behind the bldg which did not feel safe arriving at night. Also there is NOWHERE to park in front of the bldg to drop off your family or bags.

TRULY helpful staff, from the moment we pulled into the layby in front of the hotel. We were hours early, the staff held our luggage until our rooms were ready, and brought them up to our rooms. They helped us get a taxi/van large enough for us and our luggage to get to the airport when we'd checked out. Great breakfast offerings. Clean, comfortable rooms. Terrific stay. Readily near attractions like Trinity College, H'a Penny Bridge, Temple Bar, Literary Pub Crawl, and great restaurant options.

Excellent! Will stay here again.

Wonderful hotel. The staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. I needed more than the usual assistance as I used a mobility scooter. They happily brought out the ramp each time, anticipating my needs. Will stay here again my next visit to Dublin.
