Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room had a noisy window, but the bed was super comfy, and the rainfall shower was a nice touch. The bed was enclosed on three sides, giving a cozy feel, even though there was limited access on both sides. The service was exceptional. The staff kindly offered to take care of my cab to the airport at check-out, and the reception desk was top-notch with great customer service and a super friendly attitude. The location was excellent, although it was situated on an unsightly back alley, it was within walking distance of everything I wanted to see in Dublin. The dining options were not included in our rate, but the freshly prepared dishes were delightful. The facilities were modern and convenient, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
