Location was perfect. It's a few seconds walk to the Ha'penny bridge which is the gateway to Temple Bar. It's also backed by other neighbourhoods that are less pricey and just as authentic, with tons of shopping and food available in a 2-3 minute walk. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our first room was loud from construction noise in the morning but they moved us to a new room facing the river with no issues. The place was clean and definitely fairly new with great amenities. Would highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay with high walkable score but not on top of busy Temple Bar district. Just cross the bridge right in front of the hotel and you are there. Place is very well managed. Loved the cafe downstairs. Loved it

Very close to all the sights! We were there to check out the city near Trinity College as our daughter will be going there. Definitely not quiet, as Temple bar is across the river and you can hear singing all night😁, but the hotel itself was quiet. I would definitely stay here again

Excellent and central location but be aware that temple bar across the river is a bit boisterous. We nonetheless enjoyed our stay and the staff was lovely. I would stay here again, especially if I were to stay for more than a week thanks to the kitchen and washer and dryer.

We selected this location based on where it was in the city and how walkable it was to everything else. We came to appreciate how clean, pleasant, and comfortable it was right away. The staff were excellent--always helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this location to anyone visiting Dublin, and would absolutely stay there again.
