In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Clean, comfortable rooms — Multiple guests highlight the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, often calling them 'impeccably clean' or 'comfortable and clean'.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Consistent praise for the staff—described as 'polite', 'caring', 'warm' and always willing to help, from booking taxis to offering tea and coffee anytime.
  • Excellent location for transport — A tram line runs right by the hotel, a bus stop is outside, and the city centre is about 10 minutes away by bus—making it easy to get around.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Not right in the city centre — The hotel is a bit outside the core centre—about a 10-minute bus ride or a tram ride away. Guests should plan for transport to reach the main sights.
  • Breakfast not included in the rate — While breakfast is available at a reasonable fee, it isn't automatically part of the room charge, and one guest wished it had been included.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals may need to confirm arrangements with the 24-hour reception in advance.

“Not a bad hotel for Dublin. The room was clean enough and the staff very friendly. Since I was out exploring most of the time and only used the room to sleep, that was all I needed. Good value, especially for the price.”
