I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious but unfortunately very noisy due to a faulty condenser right below. The service was friendly, but there were some cleanliness issues noticed late at night. The location was ideal for sightseeing, although renovations were ongoing during my stay. Dining was good value, but the post-closure setup seemed hasty.

The hotel had a comfortable room with a really nice bed but was small and very noisy due to the beautiful church bells chiming all night. The service was not the most accommodating, and the location was nice and central but echoed voices from outside. The dining experience was only good for breakfast, and the facilities were standard.

The hotel is located perfectly on the edge of Temple Bar, offering convenience without the chaos. The rooms, though situated at the front of the hotel, managed to be pleasant to stay in and the option to leave our bags post-checkout was handy. The service was top-notch with incredibly helpful and friendly staff, only slightly marred by a rushed car park explanation. The location is ideal for exploring central Dublin sites, with easy access to Temple Bar but lacking air conditioning. The dining experience was mostly good, except for too much vinegar in some dishes. Although the hotel could use improved dining options, the breakfast was satisfying. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor room maintenance issues and a bit of a draft from a broken window latch.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent for exploring the city, offering a comfortable haven away from the hustle and bustle, but the rooms lacked atmosphere and were quite noisy with street sounds. The service was top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff, but the dining experience had some room for improvement. The overall value for money was decent, making it a solid choice for a visit to Ireland.
