This is a good value, well located hotel on Dublins Northside with lots of places to eat around and about. Check in was pleasant and the receptionist bantered with the guests in front of me, who were English and extended a warm welcome to them. I had to work the following day and was worried about the front facing room... More

Dear Jackmcw, Thanks so much for staying with us twice. I am delighted the bar staff were great fun and trust that they wern't slacking off having the 'craic...' I appreciate your feedback on the TV reception and the Wi-Fi; the TV system is new and the Wi-Fi has huge bandwidth so you should not have had patchy coverage. I... More

Let me say first of all that we knew nothing about this hotel as it was booked for 2 nights as a short break through a special deal with booking.com. It turned out to be a most pleasant and exceptional experience. We arrived early and was greeted and duly checked in by Aoife the Irish Receptionist. We were immediately made... More

For an early flight from Dublin airport, this hotel is ideal. There's a good selection of eating options just over the road, and a bus stop to take you into the city centre.
