Reception staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location was excellent. Breakfast was beautiful.

The rooms are very dated and the bed wasn't the best. But overall, it was reasonably priced to reflect this I think.

Loved this place!

Stayed with two teenagers in a 3 bed room and we loved it! Great location for us as people covering the city on foot and using the city bus system. Affordable, comfortable, and the staff was so lovely. Secure luggage storage helped us on each end of our stay, and we were lucky to check in early on our arrival day.

Great hotel for exploring Dublin. The full Irish breakfast in the mornings and the excellent pub for an evening pint ma

Fantastic location with wonderful pub and cafe attached.

The rooms were poorly lit, making it difficult to apply makeup or see fine details for this aging woman!

Lovely hotel in a great location!

The hotel is in a great central location, especially handy for the event I was attending. The breakfast in the adjoining Copper Alley Bistro was tasty and substantial, and the staff were helpful and friendly, without being intrusive. I didn't go into the bar but it seemed fairly lively when I passed by. Most importantly, I have already booked my next stay in the coming months so that is my seal of approval!

Some people mightn't appreciate the bells from the nearby Christ Church Cathedral but I saw it as a positive. They were minimal anyway, especially for a Sunday.

Comfortable, clean and great value for money.

Excellent location, clean and comfortable. Friendly staff who were polite and helpful. Left luggage facility made the departure date hassle free. Rooms were ready on arrival…11am.

No porridge at breakfast. Room had a strip light on a small step into the bathroom which was constantly on. Minor issue, clearly for safety reasons.

Only an issue one night but the church bells sounded almost every hour from 12am until 10am when we left. It was most strange as they hadn't done that at all the previous days.

Great stay; good location and value for money.

Very good location, convenient to restaurants and the hop on hop off bus stop.

While there was a lift to all floors, guests have to navigate a stairway to reach the lift. Only a minor inconvenience.

Beautiful place in the perfect location in Dublin. Easy to walk around the city from this location. Staff were very pleasant. There's a wonderful pub that can be assessed from the hotel. Rooms were clean.

It is in a busier location, so may be a little louder.
