A perfectly located, wonderfully staffed hotel in the center of Dublin. The people at the reception desk could not have been nicer or more helpful, and one morning at the breakfast buffet, when I openly warned the lack of homemade brown bread, one of the cooks heard that and rushed to get me a few slices that were left from the day before. Still delicious.

The hotel is lovely and the staff is great. Very accommodating. The beds are comfy and everything is clean. The air conditioning did not really cool the room. The temperature was set at 18 Celsius which is 64-65 Fahrenheit but it did not get close to that even though temperature in Dublin was below that at night. It was too hot in the room for a restful sleep for me. The staff offered to give me a fan.

Nice staff and modern clean hotel. However, I was very frustrated with the amenities as they had no conditioner and when we asked for some they said they were in between switching brands?!? Ambience was missing as the hotel was very empty. My brother was staying at their sister hotel The Green much greater vibe and more central to things. They also had no conditioner lol
