Wonderful staff. Friendly, caring, kind, helpful in all areas of service. Nothing too much trouble. Hotel very homely. Location outstanding. Good breakfast. Found it cold though there may have been a problem with heating. Would have liked more security - better lock on room door. Had a front room which was very noisy. Would ask for a rear room next time. |

It has a good location and the staff were very helpful. There seemed to be two sides to this hotel. We had a good deal for 3 nights but the room was very noisy as we were next to a main road. There was no double glazing, erratic heating and an old fashioned TV. When water started to come through the ceiling on our last night, apparantly from the shower in the room above, we were immediately transferred to another room. This was quiet, double glazed, warm with a flat screen TV and altogether more comfortable.I feel they should update the rooms that need it as soon as possible to guarantee comfort and quiet for all. |

We did a lot of sight seeing through the dublin bus tour, people very friendly and helpful. I did not like the location right next to a nightclub as i was woken @ 2 am every morning. |

The large size of the family room meant we didn't feel cramped with 4 of us in the one room. Reception staff were very friendy and helpful. |

The room was in a newly refurbished part of the hotel and so the decor, furnishings, carpets etc were up to date and very well kept. The room was generous in size as was the bathroom. The breakfast was very generous and set you up for the day. Staff were very pleasant as well. It was very good value for the money. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay there. One small complaint and that was the room (no 126) over looked a bin area and an over flowing skip - needs to be seen to. |

Room has got comfortable volume, high ceiling. Hotel staff is nice and friendly. Facilities are clean and hotel is not so crowded. We had to ask several times to get some heating in the room; in the end we spent one night without any heating. The hotel staff offers to help scheduling activities, but they are not so reliable; we indeed experienced one serious problem due to improper booking. |

Location was good, hotel downstairs area was good. Enjoyed the Friday night irish band. Brekfastg was ok but it was pot luck. Sometimes had mushrooms sometimes not, although other guests had them. Room was very basic with cracked tiles in bathroom, bath panel broken, bed not very comportable, dip in the middle. Very noisy even during the day with guests playing music very loudly which went unchecked even when complained. In the afternoon asked what time the bar was going to be open and was told in 15 minutes. Said we would wait in the piano room and let us know when it was open, this never happened so we retired to our room. Door knocked every afternoon by housekeeper asking if we where ok when trying to rest and displaying do not disturb. |

The hotel was at the top of O'Connell street, within walking distance of shopping, bus availability to all parts of Dublin if wanted.My first room was a smoker's room, although marked as non-smoking. Asked for change, received a lovely newer room, quiet, clean and pleasant, with a "view" to the inner courtyard. Breakfast ample, personnel exceptionally nice. Was not happy with the smoker's room, but pleased aobut their willingness to change. |

the bedrooms were modern and clean, the general feel of the hotel was very relaxing, it was like a country house hotel in the city ! Breakfast time was a bit hectic in the dining room. |

I thought the desk staff--'Suzanne' and Ms. Petch' in particular-- were wonderfully informative, good humoured and courteous. They made our stay, and our sense of the city, much richer than it could have been in this, ourt first visit to Dublin. We liked the quiet room, the friendly welcome at breakfast, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. We had one of the newly renovated rooms--325. While this was clean and comfortable, we thohght that the Hotel did not get its money's worth out of the contractor: the bathroom in particular was sloppily done, door moldings unsanded, tile grout not cleaned from the walls and so forth. We also wanted to know the names of staff: could they wear name tags at the front desk?? (I refer to 'Ms. Petch' above, as we never learned her first name, and I understand there are two Ms. Petch's'. I know Suzanne's name only because I asked.) |

Dating from 1887, this hotel in the very centre of Dublin combines traditional charm and elegance with modern facilities. |
This smart, stylish, upgraded hotel is just off O'Connell Street in Dublin city centre, a short stroll from shopping, Temple Bar, Trinity College, St. Stephens Green, galleries and attractions. |
This central, modern hotel overlooks the River Liffey and is beside Heuston Station. A 5-minute journey on the LUAS tram brings you to the city centre and lively Temple Bar. |
Less than a minute from O’Connell Street, this is a newly built hotel centrally located in the heart of Dublin city centre. |
