The staff was excellent especially Anthony who helped us with anything we needed. The location was amazing right in the middle Latin Quarter where everything you would need from food, drinks and souveniers are steps away. The rooms were spacious and beds were comfy. There was a spacious lounge with tv and computers with internet access free of charge.

Music is everywhere! Being a fan of Irish music, I absolutely loved the location in the pedestrian-only Latin Quarter, right on Quay Street, surrounded by bars and street musicians. We booked a private room and bath, which overlooked the people walking Quay Street. The complimentary continental breakfast was good, even offering cappuccino and latte. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly, too!
