I had a nice stay at the hotel, with an excellent location right in the heart of Dublin, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring I felt welcomed.

Overall, the hotel provided a good experience, but the noise might make me reconsider a return visit during busier nights.
