Best place we stayed!”

The staff was so friendly and helpful! We got there early and they let us into their restrooms to get ready. They got us checked in as early as possible and held our bags for free on our last day. The free breakfast was great and the location was perfect. Such a great value! Would stay again for sure.

The staff were fantastic. Room had excellent temperature control. Alex at the front desk was very helpful and his pleasant nature was calming after a hectic day of travel. The room was exceptionally clean. Small but we expected that as most Dublin rooms are. The breakfast was the basic breakfast we would expect when included in the price. The shower had plenty of hot water. The smart TV was a nice option and the location is great! My only complaint would be how hot the lobby was while trying to eat breakfast.

The hotel is in a great spot just walking distance from lots of pubs and food places. The staff were brilliant especially when we had trouble checking in with our bank card. Our room was a good size and very clean . It had a Hairdryer, iron and ironing board aswell. The toiletries were Dove shower cream/shampoo and Dove hand wash. Our breakfast was good but not the hottest as lot's off hotels only have thing to keep food warm. We would definitely go back.

A hotel with gentle staff in amazing location!”

The hotel is location in great position on Collonel’s upper str, very convenient to visit the city of Dublin. It’s next to the bus stop arriving from Dublin airport. The personnel( especially in the reception) is great, amazing, polite and very helpful. The room was modern,simple, very clean with comfortable bed and we liked also the existence of the double glazed widow with non at all external noise.The breakfast was included in the price but it was very average with no variety.Generally, I would recommend this hotel and I would certainly revisit it.
