Great if you are on the go in Dublin or in the country. If you spend a lot of time in your room on vacation then this hotel is not for you. You begin hearing activity in building around 7 am and I had one night where workers collecting trash could be heard in alley below room. For someone like me who spends very little time in the hotel, it was a great, inexpensive place to stay. If you need all the creature comforts (more Americanized hotel) don't stay here. If you need a place to sleep a few hours and shower, great choice. Location was awesone, right by Dublin Spier, GPO,minutes walk from Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, and countless other locations. Right on airport bus routes as well as hop on and off points for city tour buses. Also, check out Carlo's restaurant attached to hotel. Food was very good. Good place for me and I'll stay here again when I go back.
