Great hotel

Small room but very comfortable and clean. Good location for sightseeing in Dublin. No parking at the hotel, but there is a safe undercover parking lot very close nearby and the hotel validates your ticket so you get a discount for the parking. Went to the onsite restaurant twice and enjoyed the food both times.

Such tiny rooms

The twin beds were so tiny and so was the room. It’s a city hotel but expected a bit more comfort in the room. Not great for 2 people.
