Lots of stairs but also meant the place was quiet considering the location (and had a nice view from the wrap around balcony!) Would recommend to any group visiting Temple Bar!"

"The standard rooms are too small for two people with luggage, and there is so little wardrobe space, we couldn't unpack. A suite was much better, but still low on hanging space. The check in and checkout procedures are really good...mostly self-service, and the staff are really, really helpful if needed The restaurant and bar cannot be charged to your room, but I think that made things simpler. The self-service laundry is a great feature! The location of this hotel is excellent - right in the heart of Dublin and near all the main attractions. Final verdict: I'd go back there!!"
