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

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. More

A group of us stayed here on a theatre package and had a great time. The deal was really good with accommodation, breakfast dinner and ticket for the show included! The hotel also provided a bus to and from the theatre for a couple of euro each way. The hotel is not directly beside the theatre as the name might... More

we got a really good deal price-wise, and considering that it can be quite expensive for a room (I'd say, especially so if there's an event in the Aviva) but it was great for the price, the staff were really nice and the room was big, and really quiet, so we slept really well, we had a late check-out without...

We stayed in this hotel last Sat night as we were attending a show in the O2. When you look it up online it states that there is a free shuttle bus over and back to the O2 but when we got there we had missed it as it leaves at 6.30 and there is only one bus. This is... More
