“For match-goers, this location proves ideal, with Aviva Stadium a short walk away. Recently updated rooms offer a surprisingly fresh feel, while the downstairs pub provides solid food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Average stay, some issues noticed

small room disruptive noise

The room size proved to be quite small, made movement difficult. the noise levels were disruptive. There was a constant sound from the bar below and it continued late into the night. It was difficult to sleep well because of this noise.
