it was clean, safe and excellent customer service. The breakfast was great and the location was excellent.

Colleen Canada

To spite having a room facing O’Connell street, it was very quiet at night! the blackout blinds did a good job of covering the lights. The bed was good. helpful staff who held our luggage for us. Busy but decent hot breakfast included.

Jody Canada

Breakfast was better than any We have had at other hotels. Kudos to all the staff who made sure there was always enough for all in the breakfast room,

Maureen United States of America

Friendly approach of staff and swipe access throughout building.

Mary United Kingdom

Excellent location. Staff were really smart and very helpful. Super clean rooms. Comfy beds. Amazing breakfast. Happily recommend.

Jilly57 United Kingdom

The location was perfect. We were right by pubs with Irish music, the hop on and off buses and great restaurants. We were within walking distance of many of the sites we wanted to see and experience. The staff could not have been more accommodating to our needs. The room was very clean and pleasant to be in. The breakfast each morning was very good and met all of the basic food groups to start out our day. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to everyone.

Michael United States of America

location Murray's Bar and Grill next door serves incredible Irish stew. Staff and service 4 stars.

Katheryn United States of America

Excellent location (near the city center and the bus stop that connects to the airport). Breakfast was complete and really good. Rooms were spacious and confortable. I had to leave earlier (before the breakfast started) in one of the days for a one day trip and the staff prepared a take away breakfast which was really complete and extremely helpful (I just missed the coffee since the only drink they provided was water).

Carolina Portugal
