I had a comfortable stay at this hotel right in the center of Temple Bar. The room was clean and had everything we needed, but it was a bit sweltering and uncomfortable at times. The service was excellent, with the staff going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location was great for exploring Dublin, being just off Temple Bar, but it could get noisy at night. The dining experience was good overall, with reasonable prices and a convenient partnership with local car parks. The facilities were satisfactory, with nothing extraordinary to highlight.

The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring Dublin, but it would benefit from some renovations to upkeep standards. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, providing us with valuable information and even lending us a charger. While the dining options were basic and came at an additional cost, the location across from City Hall was ideal for accessing transportation and key attractions.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-appointed, but the basement-like feel made me slightly uncomfortable. The service was friendly and helpful, allowing us to check-in early and providing great breakfast recommendations. The location was superb, right in Temple Bar, with easy access to main attractions and public transportation. However, the dining experience was disappointing with limited choices and some issues with the vegetarian dish.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although in need of some updates, were reasonably sized with a lovely double bed, which was a plus. However, the service was not the most polite, and the squeaky room floor and warm room made my experience a bit uncomfortable. On the bright side, the location was convenient to many places, but being near a busy pub street could get noisy. Dining was a mixed bag with some positives and negatives. Overall, it was an okay experience with room for improvement.

The hotel is positioned right in the heart of the lively Temple Bar area, within walking distance to Dublin Castle, Cathedrals, and Guinness Storehouse. The rooms have a 'tired' and dated feel with dim lighting, and the noise from the water taps can be bothersome. However, the very central location is a big plus. The service is generally great and helpful, although some minor issues were encountered like a squeaky room floor. The dining experience offers a mix of cooked-to-order and Continental breakfast options, with some room for improvement. Overall, the hotel exudes a warm and welcoming ambiance.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Temple Bar, making it convenient for exploring Dublin's attractions, but the noise from the lively area can disturb your peace at night. The rooms need updating and were not as expected, lacking amenities like a hairdryer and a safety deposit box. However, the friendly staff made up for some of the shortcomings, providing swift solutions to issues like the squeaky floors and room temperature. The dining experience was average, with some dishes not meeting expectations, but the breakfast options were satisfactory. Although the price was reasonable, some aspects require improvement for better value for money.
