Where the Action Is in...

Liked: The hotel is cozy and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The bar and restaurant are excellent. The area is full of life and excitement if you don't mind late night noise.
Disliked: The location is good if you want to be in the heart of Temple Bar, but it is very loud well into the early morning. Also, room was a bit small for a deluxe.

Very disappointing

Liked: Location
Disliked: Hotel is in need of some TLC. Rooms do not appear to have been updated in years.. reported TVs in both rooms did not work- very old. Given a business card and told to contact manager. Later in evening significant leak coming through light in bathroom from room above. Shorted lights. Family did not feel safe in room so ended up crashing all in one room. Hotel provided a camp bed as hotel full. No offer of any compensation next morning. Rumour is hotel closing down for major renovation soon.

Pleasant

Liked: Not apply
Disliked: The noise at night was terrible, we were kept awake due to the noise from the local bars

Brilliant staff and excellent location....

Liked: Great location; very handy for Temple bar. Staff were fantastic! We checked in early and dropped off our bags. When we came back our bags had been brought to the rooms for us. They acknowledged my special reason for the stay which was a lovely touch.
