Great Place to Stay!
Great location and very quiet but still in the middle of things. Rooms are small. We upgraded for more room to two twins. Bar and food was great!

Great for a short stay
It was a wonderful centrally located hotel. The staff was helpful and the bar open late so while the rooms were a bit small and the ac did not work all that well, we were still happy with our stay for what we needed. If we were staying longer than a few nights I might have chosen another hotel but for only a couple nights and wanting to be near everything in downtown Dublin it was perfect.

Amazing find
This was an amazing last minute find! The property was so cute and had so many spots to take great photos. It was centrally located so we walked everywhere and it’s super safe. The on-site bar was such a chill place to kick back and have drinks in a quieter atmosphere. Will DEFINITELY be staying here again.

I loved the style and idea of this hotel with the super compact and snug rooms and ideal with prices for property in Dublin. Perfect for a business traveler but would be a tight squeeze for a couple.
Love all the attention to detail and luxury touches in the room although I daresay the Aircon needs a good clean as I only had it on for half an hour and made me cough.

All good
Just way too expensive
Almost 400 euro for one night and not even a breakfast.
I appreciate this may be indicative of the dublin market on a saturday night but reallu is excessive and wouldnt encourage repeat business or dublin as an attraction
