This was a unique old hotel. The rooms were clean and decent sized. The staff was helpful and friendly. There’s a pub downstairs and you are right in the heart of Dublin night life! Well worth the price

A great place to stay for a traditional styled hotel in the heart of the Dublin night life scene. Convenient downtown location for seeing Dublin sights. The entrance is a bit tricky to find as it is tucked away through a passage way next to the Mercantile Pub.

Very Bad Hotel
I booked a double but was given a twin which beds could not be joined together because in between there was a drawer set which can not be moved. If moved the lamp would have to be put on the carpet because the electricity cable is permanently attached to it. The bad smell greets you as soon as you step out of the lift and gets worse in the room. The furniture is really old, the walls falling apart. This hotel is a no go area and ill advise you to stay away from it. The receptionist was really nice and helpfull. She tried her best.

Don't Change Anything and Spoil the Atmosphere
We will definitely come back here again. Full marks all round. Great location, reasonably priced, friendly and helpful staff and a wide choice in the breakfast menu. Generous portions which are enough to set you up for the day ..... especially if you are a vegetarian. Competitors take note! All in the surrounds of an atmospheric Victorian pub. The bus stop at the hotel door is also another major plus.
