My friend and I stayed at this hotel our first night in Dublin. It is in a great location, walking distance to Trinity college, temple bar area, grafton st. etc. However the rooms could use some updating as everything is a bit kind of old looking, and if you are looking to get a restful sleep this place is not for you. Our room over looked the street and it was very noisy all night long. Overall, it was a good value for the money/location but not for a relaxing trip.
Great staff and treated our large group the BEST! The noise level is not for the light sleeper. We were on Dame street and there were after hour clubs across the street but we were up late also so didn't bother most of us. Bring ear plugs and you will be ok. The dining there was good and breakfast was typical. We loved the ease of walking right to the Stag's head, about ten steps from the hotel entrance on Dame lane. The area was safe and close to everything. Thank you again to the great bar staff.
