I stayed here in August 2010. It is a little difficult to find the hotel (there is one across the river too).

The Location of this place could not be better. A few minutes walk and you hit the temple bar area and you can spend the rest of your day there. The hop on hop off to has one of the stops right there. (and the bus takes you to the Guinness brewery) All in all - location 10 on 10

The staff was extremely friendly at the reception and helped us check in early. Every morning we used to depart early morning (before breakfast) and they would pack sandwiches for us. This just won us over especially since Ireland is not a cheap travel destination.

The rooms are fine - not too large but cozy. With service like what we got - I could find no fault in the rooms.

I dont think there would be a better value for money proposition in Dublin!

We booked a package without knowing anything about the hotel, then came on Trip Advisor to check it out. I was a little reticent after reading previous reviews but I have to say we found the hotel to be very good.

The reception staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It's perfectly situated a stones throw from the Liffy and Temple bar, and within an easy walk of lots of Dublins attractions.

We had a little noise as it's a busy hotel, but nothing to worry about. What I did love was the fabulous heating in the room, we visited in icy January and were so thankful for a lovely warm room and piping hot water for a relaxing bath after a day out.

Free Wifi too - I am sat on the bed in my room writing this.

Stayed four nights over New Year's Eve. Great location, just slightly west of Temple Bar area, and east of Christ Church. In city center, and walkable to most sights. Airlink bus from the airport stops right out in front of the hotel for 10 euro return. Our large, twin room was on the second floor alley side, so noise was never an issue, and we were there for New Years Eve! Room was large, clean and comfortable. Free wi-fi, worked great. Bathroom was also large. Only issue was water temperature, first day scalding hot. After a quick call to front desk, someone did come up and adjust it right away. Two other times water was all cold, and had to call to report. One of the times we were in a hurry and had to settle. So no fun there. Other than the water issue it was a great stay! Great price due to the 4 nights for the price of 3! Would stay there again!

We arrived at the hotel a little after 9:30am, although there wasn't a room ready the receptionist was more than happy to save our luggage while we went to explore the city.We arrived back early evening to check in and change before going for dinner (at 'The Church', great food!).
The room was cold on arrival, so we turned on the radiator but nothing happened so on our way out we informed reception. We were told someone would try to fix it or we would be given a new room. When we got back into the room it was still freezing, the radiator stone cold, we told reception and we were given a new room just across the hall...the room was freezing, radiator stone cold again...so we were given a new room, and offered a free drink in the bar. All was well with the third one, still on the third floor just further along the corridor... Until around 11:15 pm when were heard someone trying to get in, just presuming they were drunk and had the wrong room we ignored it for a few seconds, until we heard the door unlock and 2 drunk guys were walking into the room!! We informed them they had the wrong room key and the stumbled back to reception. We phoned down and got a sincere apology and and an offer of a free breakfast. Although it shouldn't have happened it was quite funny and the fact that the staff were very helpful and apologetic did help. Apart from the room key not working the next day everything else went pretty smoothly.
The rooms themselves were a little dated, but clean and if the windows were to close properly it would probably be much quieter and warmer inside! We also had a petty issue with why the toilet roll holder is behind you? As quite a shorty myself it wasn't the easiest thing to reach! haha.
The hotel is very easy to find, great links to and from the airport, and if you want to explore as well as drink, is very central to everywhere!
We had the Dublin pass, which is highly recommended if you are going to be able to visit lots of the attractions, we didn't save that much from it but it saved a lot of hassle. Although we didn't need to queue jump anywhere because it was reasonably quiet, it would be handy at busier times of the year.
We had a great time in Dublin, the people are friendly and the beer and bars (The Porterhouse in particular) are great, we will definitely be visiting again!

Thanks again to all the staff that dealt with our 'issues'!
