We were allocated a first floor room in the building opposite. Seeing I was a senior I think spurred the receptionist to offer to take my case up. I can't say this was done with a smile as grumblings as to how heavy the case was were heard as we went upstairs. Our room overlooked the plumbing and roof of... More

This is an okay hotel in a great location in Dublin. Just a 5 minute walk from Trinity College and the same to the busy shopping street (Grafton street). It is a bit old fashioned and pretty expensive but that is what you get in Dublin unless you can pay a lot more. The staff were very friendly and the... More

The location of the hotel is perfect, one minute from the city center. It is in a narrow street, which means that it is not very noisy. The reception is small and the rooms are in two different buildings. The staff was nice and efficient. The room was large and clean, but it was very hot, probably due to the... More
