The Room Dining Service Staff was very kind and mannerly, also the cleaning personell. The Hotel itself was just a 15min walk from City Centre and the room was very silent and well heated. Every medal has got 2 sites. We had a room with view on the inner courtyard and it was quite disgusting. Mountains of rubbish, waste containers and lots of empty beer barrels. In between that the brake place for the Staff, poor guys! But as the rest was okay so far we would surely come back.

Location, for that part of town, is excellent, and the hotel had everything you could need. Really nice. Was a little disappointed with the breakfast (which costs extra), for the price I dont think it was value for money, the selection of fruit included lots from a tin instead of fresh fruit, the supposed selection of cheese and meats for the continental cold buffet had a few slices of ham and very stale looking cheddar cheese, the scrambled eggs looked like they had been sitting there for hours (even though I ate early), unless you wanted the "full Irish" the choice and quality was not great.

The hotel staff were amazingly helpful, as it was my first time staying in the city I required guidance finding my way around and the staff were more than happy to provide a map and explain the routes I needed to take. Furthermore the room itself was lovely and provided a very comfortable stay.

Excellent location for the Aviva Stadium and not too expensive to travel by taxi to city centre. Free on site parking was also a bonus as parking in Dublin is very expensive. Staff very helpful and friendly, food was good in the Gaswork bar and nice comfortable seating in the bar and lobby areas.Rooms were spacious and clean. Overall we were greatly impressed with this hotel, would have no hesitation in recommending it to others and would definitely stay there again.

I book this hotel for the gym facilities and the overall comfort, WIFI and parking. The service provide at reception is excellent. the overall cleanliness of bedroom is excellent too and friendly generally. The restaurant is the only thing I would improve. In my opinion the Service is very slow even if there are only few tables. The waiters see you but do not bother to great you. I had waited 30 minutes in the past at the table and I end up always going to the waiter or to the bar and ask to be serve. Delivery food from order between 30 to 40 minutes each course. I have stay about 8 times since the first quarter 2011 and I must say the dinner I was looking for before. Really tasty food, high quality and good value too. However, food has decrease in quality significantly.I wonder if the hotel has change the chef?... Not longer dinner at the hotel. I keep trying once or twice each time to see if has improve but something has change and not longer the high satisfaction experience I had around March - April 2011

Good city centre location, ideal for Grand Canal Theatre event. Reception staff very helpful & friendly. Breakfast reasonably good, dining staff good. Very basic facilities, bedrooms, bar 7dining could do with a facelift..badly! Bar staff on night of our stay were disinterested in their customers, so we did not have even a second drink there.

We stayed there as we were going to a show, I understood the hotel was very very close to the theatre but we still needed a taxi which cost 11.55 :( also we paid 78 euro and breakfast wasnt included-bit steep in this current climate..there is a staff lift as well as customer lift which wasnt labelled as staff until you opened it and it was filthy..we ate in the bar and there was only 1 on floor and 1 on bar-service was very very slow-the 2 guys were rushed off there feet.bit disappointing for me....:(

As we were attending a show in the Grand Canal Thetre the location was excellent...shuttle bus was very useful as it was a very wet night. Breakfast was very good & the convenience of free parking was a bonus

Although the hotel was just under a mile from the centre of Dublin it was an easy 10-15 minute walk or the Dart (Tube System) was just across the road, so still extremely accessable. There is also a local supermarker around the corner if you want fresh sandwiches, papers, drinks etc... It is also very convenient for the Grand Theatre and the Aviva Stadium. The restaurant was also extremely good value for money and all staff were very helpful. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel as we're not big eaters in the morning. There wasn't anything we didn't like.
