I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and clean this property was. It’s extremely convenient on the Northside district of Dublin, with nearly everything in walking distance. Plus, a bus literally comes right outside the hotel with travel directly to and from the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful, beds were comfortable, and noise was a minimum. My only complaint was that there was no outlet in the bathroom to plug in the hairdryer… we had to plug into a wall outlet in between the beds. Lol. It was odd, but it still worked! And that’s hardly anything worthy of removing a star when everything else about the stay was perfect. I would absolutely return to the same hotel for any future visits.

Upon entering, every single hotel staff member was beyond kind, helpful, and so gregarious. Rooms were great and clean, bathrooms were so spacious. Breakfast at the hotel was also incredible, with great staff there too!

Everything about this hotel was wonderful. The staff was very polite & professional. The room was clean & adequate for our needs. We just stayed one night but would definitely stay here again. The free breakfast Buffett had a lot of great food options & everything was well prepared. Highly recommend this hotel.

Not a four star by a long shot

The hotel is more of a three star than four. The lobby is fine but the rooms are bare with laminate floors. It’s pretty much the farthest thing from luxurious as you can get. For the cost of what we paid during St Patrick’s weekend I was so wishing I had booked another more pleasant hotel. The hallways also have the plastic laminate flooring so they are very loud, you can hear every guest walking by and other room doors closing. It was pretty miserable and I will never stay there again.

Wonderful hotel in an excellent location! Walk to everything yet not right next to the bars. Room was clean and spacious. Delicious buffet breakfast included with lots of extras! Only drawback was loud people coming in at all hours of the night. Not the hotel’s fault but maybe a reminder to guests to be sensitive to their neighbors.

We booked this hotel 8 months ago only to arrive and be told there were no rooms available! We were then taken to a hotel around the corner which was no comparison to the quality. Absolutely disgusted with how they treat customers and will definitely not be using Expedia again.

The staff were excellent, but the issue is very clear for me. Service protocol was not in the interest of the customer. I burned my hand on a faulty room kettle. The steam came out of the handle. I have videos and photos and friends are in agreement. It cost me my sleep & the issue was not resolved with me. They were focused on replacing the kettle and not finding resolution to the heavy negative impact it has on my stay. Offered a burn gel & at one point they "couldn't even see a fault' and questioned how i even lift a kettle! It was demeaning & outrageous. I loved the staff at Reception and (most of the Breakfast staff (supervisor couldn't be less empathetic when i reported the issue with tears on my cheeks) Location great and breakfast very good. but i dont think i could return. Zero closure for me.

Good location. Things can be improved.

We had to wait as check m-in was not until 3pm and the room wasn’t ready. We had an early start at 4am to transfer from Venice to Ireland. We understood so we ate lunch ina nearby establishment, walked around and just when back to the hotel until the room was ready. They were nice to offer if we want our bags to be brought to our rooms but I was puzzled when they said the directions to where the rooms was as it is on the 6th floor. So we have to take the elevator to the 5th floor, get off the elevator the walk right then “take another set of stairs” and that’s where i the rooms was. A heads up would’ve been nice during reservation process or check in as I was traveling with my mom, we had two check-ins and I was also traveling with my mom. At the end of the day I would not would want to have to climb a set of stairs to get to my room. I would not have chosen this hotel if the room I chose mentioned this particular detail. Don’t get me wrong the room was great. Though unfortunately for a balcony room, the balcony was not accessible. Another mishap to be found out when I got in the room. Another quirk of mine is that better handling with the customer, I appreciate the greetings but when I just got out of the hotel to get something and I come back, I got asked if I’m staying in the hotel. It just shows lack of attention to detail as there were multiple people in the door. I didn’t appreciate that.
