“Caution when booking!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2012 NEW

Although I booked this hotel 3 months in advance due to its close proximity to the O2 stadium to see a show and stroll around Dublin city centre, I was informed on arrival that due to them accepting a recent corporate booking that they no longer had a room for us (and other pre-booked guests). My partner and I were... More

I read with regret that you were out booked from the hotel. It is very unfortunate that on a very rare occasion that we have to out book a guest. This is a reality for all hotels and something that we strive to avoid. That said I will look into the matter and make steps to ensure that this does... More

“Fantastic Hotel with very friendly and helpful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012

This hotel was perfectly located for me, I like staying on the outskirts of the city so I can walk in and about to explore and find my bearings. The hotel has great facilities and the staff are all very welcoming, polite and very helpful. I arrived much earlier than the check in time and I was greeted by a... More

“Comfortable and convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2012

Stayed here for one night recently. Got a great room only rate of €59 (advance payment) but it was a Sunday night. The room we got was a good size, very clean and comfortable. It had a brand new Samsung Smart TV which was great for playing movies from a USB stick instead of watching them on the laptop. We... More

I stayed one night in this hotel last week. I was interviewed by Google and they booked it for me. It is only a 100 metres from their offices in the Gasworks area. The hotel and my room was very clean and very well equipped (ironing board, kettle, bathrobe in room). The staff was friendly and the breakfast was very... More

Great stay, welcomed by friendly faces and very helpful staff! We had a 'shuttle' to the O2 to see Cirque du soliel, Alegria which was also fantastic. Good access to Dublin without being amongst the rabble of shoppers and stag parties and within a stones throw of the Aviva stadium... Room was very clean and comfy with free Wifi access... More

Ideally situated, we were able to park our car (included in room price) and then an easy walk to central Dublin, Temple Bar and O2 arena. Price is reasonable for a city hotel and the service was friendly. Kiosk in the lobby serves quick snacks for breakfast but doesn't open on Saturday or Sunday.
