Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location very close to everything you want to see as a tourist. The rooms are comfortable but felt slightly stuffy despite having opening windows. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The dining experience could be improved, especially with only one very slow toaster available. The price offers good value for money.
The hotel is in a prime location, close to many bars and restaurants, right in the center of the city. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with good wifi available. The service was top-notch. However, the dining experience had only one very slow toaster to serve everyone. The hotel offers great value for money with its convenient location but lacks efficient dining facilities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was superb, close to everything in Dublin, but the dining options were limited, with only a slow toaster available. The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable with 2 bunks and a shared bathroom on the top floor. The service was mediocre. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for a budget option in a convenient spot.
The hotel is conveniently located near all the local pubs and so close to everything. The rooms with double beds were comfortable, but the shared bathroom on the 4th floor was a bit inconvenient. The service was exceptional, and dining offered traditional Italian dishes. However, the single slow toaster was a drawback. The facilities were well-kept and the price was reasonable.

The hotel offers a great location, being very close to everything Dublin has to offer, directly across the pub and close to many bars and restaurants. The rooms, although slightly stuffy initially, were improved with opening windows. Breakfast consisted mainly of cereal or toast, despite the advertised double bed which was not present.
The hotel's location is very convenient, with easy access to the city center and tourist attractions. The rooms, while a bit stuffy at times, were improved by the opening windows and the option of bunk beds. However, having a shared bathroom on the 4th floor may not suit everyone.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, restaurants, and pubs while also being close to a lovely park area. The rooms, although a bit stuffy, have double beds and shared bathrooms, with a breakfast offering that includes simple options like cereal or toast. The service was top-notch, and it's a great value for a place so central. However, the dining experience with only one slow toaster was a downside.
