“The vintage aesthetic makes a fine first impression, but it's the location right on the Liffey that seals the deal, putting the city's best within walking distance. I especially appreciate the traditional music and dancing, a proper taste of Dublin, and the breakfast seems a smart value compared to café prices nearby.”

the location was undeniably central.
the room i received felt quite outdated and worn i must say. the bathroom fixtures looked rather old-fashioned and showed signs of wear. furthermore, the street noise penetrated the thin windows, it disrupted my sleep. the room cleaning was also not thorough.
