Would absolutely stay again.
Such a great stay. We only stayed one night but the staff here were so so friendly and accommodating. We had some requests which they gladly accommodated. The included breakfast was great - hot cooked options, cereal, fruit, good coffee, pastries etc. The lobby area is very inviting and a nice place to hang out pre or post check in/out. The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring Dublin. I thought it might be quite loud, but with the windows closed it is really very quiet. Room and bathroom was very spacious and clean. Overall very impressed on the quality for the price.

Hotel clean and located centrally. Only drawback would have been that the food at breakfast wasn't warm enough due to being stored in heated bowls. Otherwise all good.
