    The room didn’t have a mini fridge, shower gel and was a little noisy. The shower pressure was terrible. The website had parking onsite listed which this was not the case.

    The room was nice, the bathroom was nicely clean. There was plenty of space for our luggage. The location was ideal, a perfect hotel to walk around the city and enjoy the city sights.

    The location means the city buzz and some noise can be heard. But that didn't bother us.

    Brilliant room/suite. Mini fridge stacked with drinks and beverages. Wine in the room. Everything was clean and working. Bran Stoker suite was top class. Unreal stay.

    Located literally around the corner from Temple bar, close to Trinity. College, grocery store, fast foods & restaurants. The best location for walking out of your accommodations & being in the middle of the adventure. Great security for the building, felt very safe during the stay, with no issues. Very quiet with the windows shut & comphy amenities! Great spot to lounge in the suits!

    We were told that we could drop off our luggage early by appointment. We then couldn't reach the contact to ask if we could drop off our bags, and as it was still many hours before check in time and as we had been traveling for nearly six weeks, we had a lot of luggage. We didn't want to cart it around for six hours, so we dropped it just inside the door when we arrived, out of the path of guests and left to kill time before check in. When we returned to retrieve something there was a VERY terse note telling us we were not permitted to enter. This didn't start the stay off well, especially when we were paying for a suite.

    The room was very spacious and beautifully appointed and the location was fantastic. Do note though, there are no elevators and the staircases are very narrow.

    The property is in an incredible location - just off Temple Bar but on a quiet side street so there’s very little noise at night. The room was clean, everything you could possibly need was available in the room and the check-in process was very easy (self check-in). We also got discounted parking in their partner Park Rite car park €19 for one night parking after the discount

    Lovely homely feel to the place. Hidden gem in the centre of Dublin. Cosy and warm throughout the room, the bed could not have been comfier. The pillows were so perfect, me and my girlfriend both said we needed to buy them ourselves. The bathroom has a heated floor and the shower is a great size with an over the head shower head. I couldn’t recommend the place more. Also, the owners were so polite and helpful throughout.

    I didn’t care too much for the rowdiness of temple bar at night - but that’s the area.

    I liked the decor and how well thought out the space was. It was very comfortable

    Pricey, although everything in Dublin is. Parking options are all a few minutes walk away (we recommend the Jervis Shopping Centre Car Park, much better value and more secure looking than those closer to the hotel)

    Perfect location for Temple Bar and Dublin's best food and drink spots, but with privacy and seclusion so it doesn't disturb or keep you awake. Brilliantly designed room with tons of space and character. Fabulous bed! Simple procedure to check in and out of the room without staff.
