We enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfortable and the room was cool. We had a great time with the locals in the pub below and the food was good too. Definitely a great advantage being so close to the airport for an early flight. Would stay here again in the future.

Great room with plenty of space, high ceilings and exposed brick, AC, and great modern bathroom fixtures. Check in at the busy bar was a little odd but went quickly once we found a free staff member. Noise from the pub didn't carry upstairs. The pub is good for a few inexpensive drinks. Good spot to spend one night before an early trip to the Dublin airport and at check in they arranged for a cab to pick us up and drive us to the airport the next morning.

Food and beverages good, but no proper reservation desk, had to wander through hotel to find reservation desk at the bar!! Also there was black mold in the skylight in or room. It did have air conditioning which is a plus! Hotel is run down and needs some attention!!

Tge building had an old charm about it yet had very modern and clean facilities. The staff were very friendly. It was very convenient for getting transport into the city and for car rental drop off at the airport. Food and drink was very good and very reasonably priced.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the Dublin airport. It is more of a pub with a hotel rather than a hotel with a pub. That said, the hotel was very nice. Absolutely beautiful bathroom and wonderful service from the manager. Our room was a little odd because it had a skylight and no windows, but it was comfortable and we slept very well in beds with excellent linens. It would’ve been nice to have been able to use the elevator rather than having to take our suitcases up one flight of stairs, but it appears that the elevator is reserved for disabled guests. The parking out front is very minimal, but the manager is happy to give you a permit to use if you can get a space. Otherwise, it’s easy to park on the street and quite safe. We enjoyed having a drink and some snacks in the pub in the evening before retiring to our room. The service in both the pub and hotel were excellent!
