superb locationdusty roomsmall room
The location was superb. It was close to everything I wanted to see.
My room was very small. There was barely room to open my suitcase, so I had to keep it on the bed most of the time. The room was also quite dusty.. I was really disappointed given what I paid.

I enjoyed my stay and found the staff professional. The room décor was modern and well maintained. I liked the ideal location near Temple Bar. It made exploration easy. The soundproofing in my room was effective, ensuring a quiet night.
Check-in was delayed considerably. My room wasn't ready until well after the stated time. This impacted the value of my short stay.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay
small roomstreet noise
The room was quite small I could barely move around. Street noise was a real issue at night it made sleep difficult. The air conditioning did not work properly leaving the room too warm I found that irritating. I mentioned these issues to the staff but resolution didn't happen I was disappointed.

The hotel location proved advantageous. The staff at the reception desk were very accommodating and helpful. I found taxi services to be readily available nearby.
My room seemed smaller than I anticipated. There was also some noise disruption due to the nearby bar music. I felt the loud music continued past midnight.
