"A significant cost for a very averge hotel"

Dont leave your bags before booking in! They were squashed by others thrown on top when we came back. Key cards didnt work on arrival. Hole in bathroom door, someone had punched or kicked. Moved to another room, needed a twin, given a kingsize then moved back to original. Offered free meal in evening as compenation and they even got that order wrong! Apart from that comfy and warm, just very pricey for level of service

"Bathroom sink faulty and not repaired after being reported"

A bit disappointed, this was the fourth time I`ve used this hotel and on this occasion found the staff a bit off hand. I had a couple of comments about the room which appear to be ignored. Expect noise if your room is at the front.

"Good location but not really worth the price."

Stayed at the hotel from 1st - 3rd Sept. Location of hotel was fantastic. Room was ok (clean enough) and reception staff was prompt. However, one of the window in room 407 couldn`t open and there was a constant sound throughout the day & night (think could be aircon/generator). During 1st day at breakfast, I`ve overheard a customer asking if he could have an extra fried egg with his breakfast and was refused by waitress - thought this was very petty. On 2nd day at breakfast, witnessed another customer complaining that yogurt was out of date - thought that this was very bad. Overall, for the price that I`ve paid £250 for 2 nights I would expect better service from the hotel. Apart from the location, I wouldn`t really recommend the hotel. I thought that the restaurant staffs were very moody and did not smile apart from one guy.

Very central, good enough for a weekend stay. Breakfast is good, sorts out your hangover!

I had a wonderful, very comfortable stay, very trendy part of dublin, a lot of local culture outside, beautiful facilities, and a really nice breakfast. I would definately choose this hotel again.

"Excellent location and excellent food"

I would highly recommend this hotel. Have stayed here 3 times. The location is central to all bars / restaurants and the shops and amenities are within walking distance. They even serve breakfast until 11.00 am, which is a bonus!!

"Pleasantly surprised."

Considering the location of the hotel - a hive of activity. My room was quiet and peaceful. The staff were professional and friendly. I will definately visit again. Thank you.

"Quality hotel"

Really helpful staff and clean and modern facilities made for an enjoyable stay. The Australian reception manager was in particular helpful when organising taxis etc. Great location!

"E- booking difficulties - see below"

The rooms were booked in one name ,but paid for under another. On trying to check-in there was only reference to the booking under the name which paid for the rooms - not the name under which the actual booking was made. This led to much confusion and delays in checking in for the 4 people involved. Breakfast unsatisfactory in general - for e.g. bacon v.undercooked. Rooms ok - bedspreads had some stains....Otherwise, reception staff were pleasant.

Although the room was called the Chairman`s suite and cost over £120 for one night, there was no trouser press, tv remote, bath or a wardrobe!! There was however much and varied furniture stacked in a cupboard, which may have been the wardrobe, and assorted tables and chairs in the room. Not recommended!

"A very nice hotel in the heart of Dublin"

First impressions were that this hotel was at the top end of 3*. On closer inspection you can see it`s a bit rough round the edges. The breakfast was a bit on the stingy side. However, I was generally very happy I chose this hotel.
