Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can be small at entry level — The Small Queen Room is, as the name suggests, compact – travellers wanting more space should consider upgrading.
- Car parking may be limited — On-site parking is available but, in a central Dublin location, it's likely to be limited and possibly expensive. Valet parking is also offered, but it's wise to check availability and charges in advance.
- Carpets may show wear — One guest commented that the carpets in the rooms show dirt, which may be a consideration for those with allergies or a preference for hard flooring.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
