The staff was very professional, helpful, friendly. Location was great. Pricey, but knew that going in. City is very accessible to you from this location, especially the pedestrian areas and St. Stephen's Green.
Nothing comes to mind.

Beautiful Hotel
The hotel was beautiful the staff was great walking distance to restaurants just had some difficulty getting to it a lot of one way roads and construction so it took us in circles, took us a little while to find the hotel gps took us to 3 different locations, I finally called the hotel for directions and no parking at the hotel it's about a 5-minute walk
How hard of a time we had finding it

Fantastic staff, room a bit uncomfortable but good value for money
Amazing reception staff, really lovely and welcoming. Breakfast staff were also incredible as were bar staff- truly couldn't do enough to help me. Very quick service and just super down to earth lovely humans. Hotel itself was in a lovely location, great value for money and a 10 mins walk from Grafton street/ 2 mins walk from Iveagh Gardens (I was there for a concert). Drinks at the bar were fab and breakfast was lovely. I was in a pod room which was spacious enough and had most things I needed.
Lights above the bed weren't working. Tile floor throughout wasn't pleasant to walk on barefoot. The mattress was quite hard and toilet roll (though sustainable) felt quite rough/thin. I did miss having a tea and coffee facility in the room too. Wouldn't want to stay for more than a night as somewhere to sleep.

Breakfast / room / location / customer service all excellent - would look to stay here again on next visit to Dublin.
Ideally could do with air conditioning facility in room - there is heating control panel in room but got a little stuffy / warm at night even with window open. Window is on restrictor understandably so can't open window fully for air circulation. Wouldn't be a problem in Winter months!

Lovely clean hotel, nice staff, very very warm in the hotel
The staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful, the room was gorgeous and the location is so close to the city, the interiors of the hotel are beautiful
The room was very hot and there is no air con, the staff were very kind of give us a fan for the room so it wasn’t so bad but we had to keep the windows open all night and the fan running

Comfortable bed, great location, lovely staff, shame about the AC
I stayed for two nights. This hotel is in a great location and it’s very walkable for Dublin. The breakfast was good. The staff were very nice during my stay. Check in and out was fast. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean and quiet.
Unfortunately it was very warm when I stayed and despite my room having AC it never cooled down. They brought me a fan but it was quite noisy. I was very hot at night and up on the third floor which was far worse than the outside temperature. I am up in Dublin a lot and I would stay again - but probably not in the summer time.

Good hotel in good location
Really good location. Breakfast was very nice. Staff all very nice. Room was spacious, clean and bathroom was nice. Staff were very helpful and brought us two fans as it was very warm.
The bedsheets seemed a bit old and worn. Could do with replacing them.

Great central Dublin location, but nice quiet street. Bartenders were awesome and nice public areas in the hotel.
The room had a separate air conditioning unit vs a hard wired air conditioner.

Love this hotel - back soon (and we won't flood the room next time)
Great location. Comfy bed. Top shower. Lovely, tasty breakfast. The missus fell asleep in the shower and flooded the room - Brandon was understanding and helpful, and even upgraded our room!
No fridge in room to keep water/drinks cold.

Well appointed, friendly staff, beautiful park attached
The Iveagh gardens were just beautiful and so convenient for morning and evening walks. Breakfasts were a bit pricey, but the food was fresh and well prepared. Staff were friendly!
The heater/air conditioning system was not straight forward so we just left it alone, so the temp was a bit warmer than I’d like.

Nice hotel with pleasant rooms.
The rooms were very nice, updated and clean. Breakfast was delicious.
Getting to our room was difficult and though we asked for rooms that were accessed by an elevator our rooms were in the basement in the building nextdoor and required us to go down several steps which was difficult for some of us. There was a lot of street noise which made it hard to sleep and it is located in an area that is a good walk from the places we wanted to visit. We felt the hotel was overpriced. The check in staff was confused by our reservation and seemed to fumble as to which rooms we should be in so the process to check in was longer than it should have been.

I was pleased I had discovered this hotel on the internet. I would certainly recommend to friends in
I thought the location was ideal in terms of easy access to Stephen’s Green & Grafton Street area. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. My pod room was adequate but I found the bed uncomfortable - like sleeping on a plank. I had to sleep on the duvet to feel comfortable. If I book a room again, it would have to be at the back of the property as some guests complained about noise from the night club across the road.
It would have been helpful if I had been escorted to my room on the first night. I had a very long journey and was not sure how the to access the room or operate the lighting when I entered.

Great location, helpful staff, nice décor.
Staff was helpful. Room nicely furnished, but without mini-fridge. Great location.
Bath towels, folded, and placed atop a rack in the shower (otherwise lovely) that I was completely unable to reach, perhaps 10-12" below ceiling height. No lift to Dungeon Level (097-100) in #71.
