Unfortunately the shower was terrible I am aware the water pressure is poor in this area of dublin however the shower was not acceptable as the hotel claims it was barely more than a dribble and when you are paying £200 per night a shower that you can wash your hair in is a necessity Probably wouldn't stay again for this reason alone
