Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is ideally located in a charming Dublin neighborhood, offering lovely touches throughout. The rooms boast a kitsch decor and feature good en-suite bathrooms with all the necessary facilities, making for a comfortable stay. However, the dining options were limited, and the Wi-Fi required an additional fee.
The hotel is situated in a pretty Dublin neighborhood and offers good en-suite bathrooms. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but the dining experience has room for improvement with limited options. The location is convenient and easy to access from the city center. Friendly staff and a well-maintained pool area enhance the overall stay.
I couldn't have asked for a better spot! The hotel is nestled in a lovely Dublin neighborhood and offers easy access to the best pubs in town. The rooms are cozy and filled with lovely touches, making my stay truly special. However, the lack of an ensuite bathroom was a bit inconvenient. Overall, a great value for money!
