On Monday morning there were pretty noisy works outside of the hotel. Nothing to blame the hotel for i think. The price is high but that's Dublin. 20-25 minute walk to city center is ok. Bathtub with shower curtain not what we expected in a hotel with 4 stars.
It was clean. The room was big. The bed was comfortable and there was enough space to sleep in with 2 persons. The wifi was very good even in the fifth floor. The check in and out has been easy. Felt safe in the area.

Food in the bar of the hotel was not very nice. Very poor menu, nothing for my husband who is a coeliac except for a burger with a gluten free bun. When we went to pay for our so called meal, they charged extra for the gluten free bun. Very disappointed as this has never happened to him before.
Very nice room. Very clean. Plenty of towels etc in bathroom. Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful
