My wife and I used this hotel as our base point for attending U2 concerts at Croke Park and as an origin for sightseeing in Dublin and excursions into the countryside. This was our first trip to Ireland, and we couldn't have been more pleased with this hotel. The hotel was clean and nice. All furnishings worked well, and the bed was ...
The first morning I woke up in the hotel, my ankle itched. I looked down to find a bedbug lying next to my ankle on the blood spotted sheet. I picked it up -- its legs were still squirming -- took a photo for evidence, collected it in a piece of tissue, and went downstairs to speak with the hotel manager. The apology was robotic and dispassionate, ...

Would Stay Again

Bed was very comfortable. Room was comparable to most I've stayed in during travels to Europe. Construction was taking place during our stay during the day, not at night. For some this would have caused problems but we don't spend our time in the Hotel rooms when we travel, we get out and see the sights. Irish Breakfast was similar to most ...

THE MANAGER REFUSED TO REFUND ANY MONEY AND ...

Would not go back here

Overpriced hotel, and although it was clean, it was in need of a face lift on both the exterior and the interior......beds were uncomfortable, staff was friendly and helpful and location was just ok.

This was the first hotel I stayed in when I visited Dublin. At that time the Euro was weak and it was a fair deal. However with the present rate of the Euro, this hotel is now extremely overpriced and not worth what they charge. I have been to Dublin 7 more times but have not rebooked due to other hotels with better value for money.
