This hotel is next to a night club which keeps up the mechanical thudding until 2am when it turns out onto the street outside. When the clentele have drifted away the delivery lorries and street cleaners start. The Hotel has not even got double glazing. Rooms are small and ill-lit - table lamps only. Staff were OK and did not... More

I was there for 4 nights in July 2011. I arrived after a short taxi ride from the ferry dock into a July Saturday night around 8 PM. As I got out of my taxi, I was immediately taken up by the mood of the street - it was obviously warming up to a great summer's Saturday night. FYI -... More

I have been travelling on business around the world for over 20 years and this is the worst hotel I have ever encountered. 1. Upon arrival the dates of my booking were wrong, although a room was available 2. Although external noise was a nuisance, I acknowledge this is part and parcel of a city centre hotel. 3. I got...

We booked 3 rooms for 2 nights. Upon arrival at the hotel(with confirmation email), we were told that there was no reservation/no rooms available. We were able on our own to secure rooms at another hotel. The young woman at the desk never left her seat to assist us in anyway. She did agree to get us a cab to... More

I booked this hotel directly off the hotel's website very last minute (only about 3 hours before) and got a double room for only €50. It is located in the centre of everything, only a minutes walk from Grafton Street and Temple Bar. There are loads of great bars, cafes and restaurants very close by too! And there is a... More

Really great location. Guinness is consistently fantastic. Rooms ok. Service very good. Stay here of you are out on the town and are contributing to the noise rather than listening to it. More
