This was located in the heart of downtown with limited eateries. The girl at the front desk did not mention that we would get 50% of parking at a car park .25 miles away down a hill. We only found this out at check out when the reception mentioned the discount. She gave us credit for 2 nights parking. Car park cost was 24 euros. Would not consider this location a good tourist location.

The staff on duty for our first two nights were absolutely amazing and so accommodating. We stayed 10/23 & 10/24. We enjoyed it so much that we cut our stay in Dublin short to come back for another night. When we returned on 10/27 the front staff wasn’t as friendly or accommodating. The first two nights the staff told us about robs and slippers for the pool. They showed up to our room within minutes of requesting. When we requested on the 27th they never showed up. The pool staff were amazing all 3 nights. The only other thing I’d have to say is the parking…. It’s an uphill walk and absolutely sucks with 3 suitcases. Definitely see about dropping your luggage off prior to parking!! The outdoor pool was definitely the highlight! The convenience of being able to walk downtown to everything was great. We will be back! Oh one last thing. The crew on the morning of 10/23 deserve a shoutout! We had a redeye flight and arrived to the hotel @7am. They had a room available and let us check in!! Even though check in wasn’t until 3pm. No issues at all. That was huge!

Liked: Cleanliness
Our room was nice and the bed was comfortable but there was so much street noise and wing whistling through the window that it wouldn’t be any noisier if we were down on the street. The food in both restaurants was very good but the service was average. Two couples walked out of dinner service while we were there because no one served them.

Our stay was great. It's a beautiful -- chic -- hotel. The one complaint was the excessive noise from an event below our room and a fire alarm that went off at 1:30AM our last night's stay. If we'd known about the former we'd have asked for a room higher up. The latter couldn't be helped and the concierge at reception quickly reversed the charge for our breakfast that morning (although that still got added to my VISA -- I'll be calling about it).
