The hotel is conveniently located just off O'Connell Street and north of the Liffy River, making it easy to walk to various areas like Grafton Street, the Temple Bar district, and the Irish Immigration Museum. The staff are friendly and accommodating, although there was an incident with a rude member of the team entering the room unannounced. The dining experience had a good selection of food and drinks, but the breakfast was nothing special. The rooms, while clean, felt outdated and quite small, requiring shuffling along the wall to move around. The location is great for exploring Dublin and the surrounding areas, offering a central hub with clean facilities and helpful staff.

The hotel's rooms are clean and lovely, with no major complaints, although slightly smaller than expected for an urban setting. The service was helpful with directions, but some issues arose with intrusive cleaning and uninterested staff. Its excellent location near transportation links and city attractions makes it a convenient base, with minor cleanliness concerns noted. Dining options, while satisfactory, lacked variety and ambiance. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was terrific, close to major attractions and convenient for transportation, but the rooms were disappointingly small, dated, and lacked natural light. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff, although some pricing issues were encountered. The dining options were good overall, but a bit on the expensive side.

The hotel is conveniently situated just off busy O'Connell Street, Dublin's main thoroughfare. The rooms, though a little small for a double room, are clean and comfortable. The service was helpful when booking a day tour and friendly overall. The dining experience was like a closet on the bottom floor with no breakfast included, which was disappointing. However, the staff was lovely, and the hotel felt more than a three-star property. I would highly recommend it for excellent value for money.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were extremely small and a bit claustrophobic, but surprisingly clean and rather comfortable. The location was excellent, near major attractions and transportation hubs, though a bit far from Temple Bar, especially in bad weather. The service was kind and helpful, though there were some issues with cleanliness. The dining options were good, but a bit limited in choice. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and bad experiences. The room was small for a triple and had a view onto noisy ducting pipes, but it was at best comparable to a budget £35 hotel. The service varied from not very friendly to very helpful and friendly, especially with staff like James and Daniel. The location was ideal for O'Connell Street and transportation, but there were disappointments like noise and missed evening plans. The dining experience was decent, with no major complaints, and the facilities were adequate.

The hotel is situated at the top of O'Connell Street, where a lot of the fun is, making it perfect for exploring Dublin on foot. While the rooms are small but typical for Europe, they offer the option to rent new movies for a couple of euros; however, they may not be suitable for double occupation. The service staff were very helpful with directions and quick to respond to complaints. Dining options are adequate but with limited choices at a slightly higher price when booked in advance. The location is very convenient for taking the airport bus and exploring the city easily on foot.
