Perfect for Weekend Rugby Break
In Dublin for the rugby. Excellent service with double room ready to check into at 11 am which we didn't expect. Room was top rate, clean and comfortable.
We didn't eat in the hotel or have any drinks at the bar but couldn’t fault the staff or facilities.

Noisy room, front of the hotel is dark at night.
Room is noisy due to the bar from the next building. Front of the hotel is dark at night, a lot of people are hanging out at the front of the bar beside the hotel.
