The beds were very comfy and the location was great for exploring Dublin. Beautiful and unique hotel. Would stay again. Pay a little more and you get a larger room with larger bathroom as well, feels more relaxed. Lesser priced rooms much smaller. Restaurant was just okay. Breakfast was the best meal , dinner was okay , waiter seemed a little fed up with waiting on our group.
