The location is superb , right off O’Connell street & close to shopping, dining, attractions. The hotel room is however tiny with narrow hallways & low ceilings. The windows open but just barely , thereby making the facility a little claustrophobic. The amenities in the bathroom are very basic.

A good budget hotel
I give it 5 stars, but I don't mean it is a 5 star hotel, I mean it is good for a hotel on the budget end. Of course "budget" hotel in Ireland is still really expensive. The rooms are VERY small, and you will be tripping over things. And of course it has that ubiquitous Irish half shower wall. But service was good, breakfast was fine (well, a bit overpriced for what it was actually), mostly quiet, clean.

Overall a good experience, the booking in took far to long as a dissatisfied customer took up to four staff members to deal with her complaints, to the detriment of others trying to book in.

Location is great, right near the action. It can be a bit loud but it's due to it being in a central location (outside noise versus inside noise). The bathroom is tiny but functional. It's a smaller room but the location is what you are after.

I had a flight that more than half way thru to Dublin, had to be turned around & grounded overnight elsewhere, & so I missed out on the 1st of 2 nights at this hotel. For something that is completely not my fault or my control this hotel didn’t approve a refund for me to Expedia !!!!!
