We have stayed at this property before due to its proximity to attractions. City has become unsafe in this area. May not return due to street interaction.

The room my husband and I had was nice, no view, but quiet and clean. My son had a room at front of hotel which was very noisy! Breakfast was outstanding every morning. My husband got stuck in the lift on Thursday night and when he finally got out and advised reception they advised him that it happened to a member of staff and perhaps they should call out an engineer. Also perhaps put an “out of order” sign up!!!!!!

Nice lobby, rooms ok

Not in a nice environment at night. Lots of homeless all around. Lobby is nice. Hallways are cheap, no carpet. Room good size. Bed is rather soft. Had a handicapped room so bathroom was really sub par. Breakfast cheap.

Location can't be beat. Walkable to Temple bar, Trinity College and Dublin Castle. Staff is attentive and friendly. Gastronomy choices were good but breakfast is very crowded with wait times (due to tour buses so plan ahead). Rooms were comfortable but a tad bare for the price point. Staff was quick to provide extra firmer pillows and washcloths.
