The location was ideal. We were close to all the major attractions we wanted to see. The beds were very comfortable.

Alliet Canada

the soap dispenser fell off the wall while I was in the shower and bruised my foot , I thought my foot was broke. I gave the front desk the dispenser and no response to my sore foot just oh sorry about that. the dispenser was not fixed during our stay

Cathy Canada

The brunch and bar access was phenomenal, especially from travelling abroad you never know if you’ll be able to eat

Gina United States of America

The free breakfast was out of this world, it was the best breakfast that I had in Ireland. The front desk was able to get me on the top floor , but my cousin was on the 2nd floor. It’s the most spacious lobby and bars at both ends

Janice United States of America

Overall nice hotel. A bit pricey but you are in the city. Right downtown within walking distance to most attractions. Restaurant had great food and service. Bar was also good with wonderful lounging area. Breakfast buffet was wonderful also. Was nice that they opened early @ 6:45am, We have come to notice that most of Ireland doesn't wake up until about 10am.
