Location is convenient to office that I was visiting and relatively so to the likes of Temple Bar etc - a 15min walk. Rooms are clean, functional and relatively large if not a little spartan and dated. General area is quiet with some bars and restaurants but not many, though a larger choice is available within a 20min walk. In... More

This hotel is quite nice in many ways, e.g. great breakfast selection (though no FRESH fruit), really comfy bed, fantastic power in shower, convenient car parking, free wi-fi (but slow) & entertainment selection in rooms. Staff very helpful & professional. Service staff in particular were most pleasant. However, just a couple of items to be aware of. Firstly, there was... More

Good selection of restaurants around the theatre area. Hotel basic but clean and comfortable. Very good standard of breakfast in the morning. Nice atmosphere and friendly... More

Stayed here in January to go see Sister Act. Took us ages to actually find the hotel after getting off the Lucas stop. Its not walking distance to the Theatre in my opinion hence why theres a shuttle bus service! 20-25mins walk to Lucas stop, 10 mins to Dart & 20mins at least to Stephens Green- these times were given...

I've been staying here for business for a couple of years but even more regularly in recent months. The rooms are warm, comfortable, and the music/iPod dock is a really refreshing difference. I prefer music to tv and the dock charges iPod and iPhone. Staff are very friendly and the food is good value; I usually use the bar menu.... More
