    It was a bit more expensive than other hotels in the area.

    The breakfast was good with a great selection. The room was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect!

    The green light at the door for the Exit sign in our room was very bright and interrupted sleep. Shower caps would have been really helpful.

    Beautiful, comfortable beds in a lovely, spacious room. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. Breakfast was superb.

    I did ask for a room close to the elevator as one of the group has mobility issues, we didn't get this and the corridors are quite long. I did not say anything to reception so I didn't give them the opportunity to fix this.

    Room was very comfortable, breakfast was amazing with choices of fry, cereal, fruit etc. The location was perfect for walking around Dublin and sightseeing. (Although I don't think I would be happy to walk around O'Connell Street at night anymore!)

    The room was not prepared for 3 people. The third person is sleeping on the sofa. I would expect more from the brand and for the price like that.

    Good location. Helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Parking nearby.

    Navigating the hotel is difficult. The room had some minor issues with the sink and air conditioner.

    Hotel staff was amazing. Especially the front desk and lobby staff. Front desk manager had treats sent to our room when he noticed it was our daughters birthday. Really nice touch.

    The view. Second time we have stayed and both times our window overlooked dirty rooftops just below our window, it really lets it down.

    A random man walked into my room, as in, had a key to my room the morning of 9/12. I reported it to the person handling my checkout who coincidentally was a manager. His first instinct was to check to see if I authorized issuing a second key????? Which I hadn't. When my son came down to checkout we learned the same thing happened to him. The manager took a definite "no harm no foul" aditude like as long as we weren't attracted or robbed then having a stranger enter my room while I was in my pj's and lying on my bed wasn't an issue

    Beautiful hotel and the overnight staff, we arrived after midnight, we're great. Morning staff was up and down. Porters and bell staff were great, management not so much.

    We were in the newer bit which involves 2 lifts to get to but worth it for the nice rooms, just something to bear in mind if anyone couldn’t walk far.

    Good location, nice sized room, great breakfast and lovely staff.

    The flooring. It echos in the long hallways and feels unpleasant under your bare feet in the bedroom. Also the WIFI seems unnecessarily complicated and difficult to work.

    The hotel is brilliant, beautiful, with wonderful friendly staff. Great location from which to see Dublin.

    We travelled with two other couples - one of the other couples had late arrival and did not end up with rooms as nice as the other two - even after they were moved to another room the next day.

    We were greeted by friendly staff and that continued throughout our stay. The rooms and amenities were clean and in good working condition and the breakfast buffet had great selections!
