The hotel is centrally located in Dublin, making it easy to walk to key attractions. The rooms, although clean and the beds comfortable, could benefit from a refurbishment. The welcome desk service seemed indifferent upon our late arrival. The dining experience was average, lacking a real coffee machine. Overall, the facilities are decent but could be improved.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its clean and spacious rooms, but some areas seemed shoehorned into the aged space. The service was friendly and accommodating, although occasional noise disturbances from nearby bars impacted our stay.

Arriving at the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious room on the 4th floor, despite the initial plumbing issue in the bathroom. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating, especially the night porter. The central location on Dame St was bustling and perfect for exploring the city. However, the vibrations from the street made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The dining experience was a bit disappointing with cold food, though it was in a great location. Overall, the facilities were good, but the noisy location affected the stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room, while spacious and comfortable, could use better insulation as noise from the street was disturbing. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were instances of staff being too preoccupied to acknowledge guests. The location was both a blessing and a curse, being centrally located but noisy at times. The dining options were decent but could improve in terms of timing for early departures. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the noise from the courtyard and lower rooves was quite bothersome. The service was generally good, with quick problem-solving, but one staff member came off as slightly rude. The central location was convenient for exploring Dublin but could get noisy due to nearby attractions. Dining was delightful, but the noise levels after 10 pm might not suit everyone.

The hotel is in a lively area perfect for those seeking fun and entertainment, surrounded by clubs, late bars, and designer shops. While the noise level can be a downside due to minimal soundproofing, the location remains outstanding and convenient for exploring the city's main sites. The evening receptionist was notably helpful and accommodating.

The hotel had large rooms with good bathrooms, but they overlooked a noisy road causing disturbances at night. It took a while for the hot water to come through. The service was a bit offish at first but turned helpful and friendly, making an effort to assist in emergencies.
