I stayed here at the hotel the first couple weeks of this year (2012). I have to say, the value is great for this little hotel. The rate, which was 59 euro I night I think, includes a full Irish breakfast and the location is only a few minutes south of the hussle-and-bussle of the city.
The "step beyond" that I am talking about is the fact of how courteous the front desk is. After staying in Dublin a few days, I thought it would be a good idea to eat raw oysters at a market in town. Well, little did I know, but 78% of the the oysters in Ireland are contaminated with an outbreak of a virus known as the norovirus. Anyway, I got the virus and after 4 hours of suffering with it, I made it downstairs to get help in going to a hospital. The front desk was so polite and helpful. He talked me out of getting an ambulance and instead walked out front to hail me a cab while I waited next to the trashcan. When I arrived back to the hotel the front desk asked if I needed anything and they attended to my needs.
Thanks again! I will definitely be staying here again and I appreciate the great service!
