Great first impressions. Nice staff. No towels in room though after waiting until 2pm to check in, then took over 30 mins to resolve. We were on the 3rd floor and from midnight until 5am when we left we were subjected to drunken people slamming doors, banging, shouting. Setting the fire alarm off (briefly, but at 2 or 3am...) ?7.50 for a JD and coke!! Thank god we didn`t have the kids with us. Glad we got a good deal but probably wouldn`t go back without incentive.

"Room and food was terrible"

I was so disappointed with this hotel it is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at, our room was stinking with a nasty smell, the bathroom had a damp patch on the roof , the furniture was worn out, we had food in the bar and have had better in McDonalds, I had concerns when I read reveiws on this hotel but contacted hotel direct who assured me they have had nothing but good feedback which I find hard to believe! I will be expecting a refund of some kind for my bother!

"Disappointed!"

On arrival at the hotel I felt the reception staff were not friendly what so ever. Some confusion around what are booking entitled us to and the female who served me was not very pleasant. I have to praise the bar staff including waiter who was very friendly and the food was very good! just a pity about the reception staff though.

Bar/restaurant and leisure facilities were very good, shop nearby and bus stop close by. However I found the staff at reception very disappointing . Not very friendly or helpful . The weekend we stayed there was a fault in the fire alarm which kept setting it off even during the night ! When we went to reception to enquire what was happening/report it she just sniggered and said it was `a fake` and they would look into it.

Staff are friendly and helpful, and even though there are live musci nights, the rooms are quiet - excellent for sleeping in peace. My room was quite small, but it was clean and had everything I needed in it (except the phone - so there was no possibility to contact reception; luckilly, I didn`t need to). I especially liked the bed - soft, but not too much, great sleepin` :)

"Rooms clean and comfortable. "

The old part of the hotel needs refurnished - slightly dowdy! Car-park charges disappointing - hotels normally provide this as a service.

"A lot of noise"

The rooms are dated but that`t ok. The swimming pool was excellent. The first night at 3am some very noisy women came up to their rooms and were loud for over an hour. The second night a 50th party was taking place in the hotel with loud music until 12.30am, this was with agreement with the hotel.Our room was on the main corridor on the first floor so lots of passing traffic. The second night more people including children shouting and banging doors for about half an hour at 2am. I had a 9 year old with me. So decent price but no guarantee of a night`s sleep. Not particularly welcoming at the front desk. Didn`t give me any info on breakfast etc so not great at promoting business in the hotel.

"Ideal location and very comfortable. "

We felt it was perfect for us as we could walk to college, study in comfort in the evening and have a drink and meal in the evening. Fantastic value, warm and comfortable surroundings.

"Very happy with our stay, comfortable. Great value. 8.0 "

My colleague and I were very happy with the bedroom, we booked a budget room and were pleasantly surprisd with the spacious room we received. It was ideal as we had exams and needed to study. We will be back again soon. Ideally located for us.

"Great value for money"

Well I wasn`t too sure what to expect when we were only paying ?41.88 for the night`s accommodation but OMG it was fabulous. Easily one of the nicest room`s ive stayed in Dublin and def great value for money. Now the 11am check out was a bit of a pain - 12pm seems alot more reasonable and I know some friends ordered food in the bar and the service was very slow there but everything else was spot on. Clean rooms, clean hotel and very friendly staff. I will def stay here again should the need arise again!

"Fantastic deal, especially for price!"

Would definitely stay here again, bus stop (no. 16 bus) right outside hotel, straight into city centre, 10 mins max! Only thing to be aware of is you MUST wear a swimming hat in the pool & they charge 3 euros for one, needless to say we didn`t bother!

Overall, we were very pleased with the hotel. There is, however, room for improvement as regards the view from the top floor. If you look straight ahead, there is a lovely panoramic scene of Dublin and the mountains beyond. If you look immediately below the window, water has become trapped behind the wall and its full of cigarette ends!
