Hotels in Dublin are pretty expensive, so I was very pleased to find this hotel in Dublin City Centre for a good price for our family of four. We arrived during rush hour and traffic was horrendous getting to the hotel. We parked briefly in front and the very nice reception woman explained how to get to parking. The parking is in a nearby deck - literally 200 yards away from the hotel - and the hotel provides a nice discount that is applied upon checkout. But because of the many one way streets in Dublin, we had to drive around our elbow to get to our thumb! It took about 20-30 minutes to navigate traffic to get from the hotel to the deck which was basically down the street from the hotel. Just an FYI to those driving! The hotel staff was super nice and helpful. There is a pretty nice bar attached to the hotel which has live music most nights, and we really enjoyed it. We booked a quad room for our family, which had two twin beds and a double and a large bathroom. All very clean! Plus a nice balcony. It was very warm when we visited in June and American travelers should be aware that there is no air conditioning. The balcony and windows easily opened to cool the room down, however, at night this is a bit problematic when the bars close. One night we were woken by loud drunken shouting from the street below. This hotel is a stone's throw from the famous and popular Temple Bar, and has many pubs on the streets surrounding it. The area felt safe in general, but we did come across some sad folks that were very strung out on *****. Just be aware of your surroundings and don't carry your phone in your back pocket. I wouldn't say that this hotel was outstanding, but it is a good hotel for those who can't spend $800/night on a hotel. It's within walking distance to Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Grafton Street shopping, and many great pubs and restaurants. Overall, we felt like it was a good place to stay for our two nights in Dublin.
