The hotel rooms were away from the noise, but took a while to warm up. The location had an authentic atmosphere, although a bit seedy with surrounding establishments. Dining was a bit pricey offsite, and the service left something to be desired. But the overall experience was cozy and quirky.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing everything you could possibly need and more. However, the pillows could have been newer. The location was central in Dublin, allowing for uninterrupted sleep despite being in a vibrant area. Walking distance to top sights and great dining options. The service was top-notch, with personalized check-in and friendly housekeeping. The dining experience was cozy but could have been more varied. The facilities were decent, with local cafes and restaurants nearby.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very spacious and clean, but unfortunately, they were very noisy throughout the night despite having secondary glazing. The central location was convenient, but it was out of kilter with the nicely appointed room.

The service was truly superb, but it would have been helpful to know about the low-pressure showers in advance.

Location

The location was very good, right in the center of Temple Bar and within walking distance of most attractions, but the heavy window glazing caused disturbance from two nightclubs on the other side of the road.

The dining experience wasn't perfect, as I was hoping for a traditional Irish breakfast, but the Full Irish breakfast offered was amazing.

7.2/10

I was pleasantly surprised by the luxurious and spacious rooms, exceeding my expectations. However, the service from the booking staff left much to be desired as they were rude even before my arrival. The central location, although convenient, had its drawbacks being situated between a sex fetish shop and a tattoo parlor. The off-site dining was decent but inconvenient for early risers.

I felt a bit seedy outside the hotel between a Thai Massage parkour and a sex shop. The room was at the very top and someone rearranged my bedside table after I had juice. The location was perfect right in the heart of the city but the noise level was high. The dining experience was excellent, especially the Full Irish breakfast. The service, despite being courteous, had some odd moments like calling my partner 'her'.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Temple Bar, making it very convenient to access all the destinations we wanted to see by foot. The rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean, although facing onto the street brought some noise from outside despite the secondary glazing. The service was excellent, with staff being very accommodating to our requests, although the price for some extras seemed a bit high. The location is comfortable and central, although the water pressure in the area posed some challenges. The experience at the local cafe down the street was delicious, but the off-site dining had limited hours, making it less useful for early risers. The facilities were adequate, and the overall value for money was decent.
