This hotel has it all - 5 star service, food and decor. The staff was very attentive and helpful, the breakfasts were wonderful - you could even watch your food being made in the open kitchen, and the location was in the heart of Dublin, within walking distance of all major attractions - Trinity College, St. Stephens Park, Grafton Street shopping, the tourist office, bus tour stops and restaurants.

The beds were the most comfortable on our trip, and you could even select a pillow to fit your needs from the Pillow Menu. They have a wonderful lounge on the bottom floor, with two computers for internet access, chess, checkers and that day's papers - lovely way to wind down at the end of the day - they'll even bring a pint down to you!

There is a parking garage literally right across the street, very handy.

TIPS FOR DUBLIN: Take a hop on/off bus tour - you can purchase tickets at the Tourist office and a bus stop is right outside - a great way to see Dublin. Look for a bus that is NOT multilingual (these buses have a programmed tour and canned lame Irish music between stops) You want a bus with a driver who will give a 'live' tour - our driver was a hoot, complete with a 'drunken' drive past the Guinness plant. Another tip, the Book of Kells is always packed. Get to the exhibit at around 9:10am (there will be a sign in front of the doors saying " Q starts here",(or line starts here) - the doors open at 9:30am. You will be first in line, beating the French tour buses. Once you enter the doors, turn right to purchase your tickets, then you can head past the displays and straight to the Book of Kells. After you see the books, you can go back into the exhibit, which is worth spending some time in.

Another tip, St. Stephens Park closes at 9pm, they ring a bell to inform everyone. We did not know this and were kindly escorted from the park by a Garda.

Food tip: Great restaurant, Balzac's on Dawson street, very close to hotel. Take your camera, the inside is spectacular.

My wife and I stay here for four nights in May and I have to say that the staff must the friendliest hotel staff that I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. The Concierge, Conner, is the epitome of Irish charm and humour. The hotel has a novel feature of a “pillow menu” to suit your sleeping tastes. The hotel is ideally suited for the sights, sounds and shops of Dublin. The restaurant is outstanding; as previous reviews have noted the breakfast is fantastic and eating in the restaurant of an evening did not disappoint. Would use this hotel again, but with the Pound / Euro rates at the moment it will not be sometime soon unfortunately.

Great place to stay - very clean, comfortable, great breakfast and very well located. Not great views - but you go to the Guiness Storehouse for those! We stayed in the classic double - spacious and very comfortable. Absolutely no complaints!

It had everything I wanted in a hotel: extremely comfortable bed, quiet and clean room, central location, staff who were very helpful, friendly and accomodating, basic amenities (shampoo, soap, lotion, Q-tips provided as well as a coffee maker and hair dryer), plenty of wall outlets. The unexpected perks were free wi-fi, a business center where you could print for free, the option to order a "foot spa" to your room, a "pillow menu" to accomodate allergies or sleep needs, turn down service, currency exchange at front desk, converter plug available. The only negative is that the towels were not super fluffy and they charge you to "rent the line" per call even if you are using a calling card. Be sure to check to see if the cleaning staff left your window before sleeping so that you can avoid any street noise. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and highly recommend this hotel.

Four of us stayed here mid-week for 1 night and wished we could have stayed longer. The location is perfect for Dublin sightseeing. It's right in the center of city: 2 blocks from Grafton Street and a 'hop on hop off' bus stop.
As soon as we entered the hotel, we were greeted by a warm staff that was ready to answer any questions we had. The rooms were clean and available (hours before the slated check-in time) and the turn down service was great.
Would def. stay here again and recommend.
