Excellent Stay in Central Location

well-stocked barcentral locationfriendly staff

My stay included access to a well-stocked bar (it had a good selection of Irish whiskeys). The location was central, placing me within walking distance of major attractions (the Guinness Storehouse was easily accessible). The staff was friendly and helpful. They provided quick assistance and directions (thanks for the local tips!).

The room lacked a bit of storage space.

FANTASTIC stay in city center!

great locationelectronic blindswaterfall showerdelicious breakfast

The location IS amazing. I was on the first floor and i could not hear ANY music from the bar or street noise below, so great! The full electronic blinds were also a nice touch. The rain fall shower fixture was amazing and had generous water pressure. The breakfast at the restaurant was delicious TOO.

The electric shades did not work initially , and the staff needed to repair them the next day.
