In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

  • Breakfast is a standout — Guests repeatedly describe the breakfast as a highlight, praising the variety, quality and choice on offer.

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.
