Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge
The room needed a little bit of TLC but otherwise was a very nice room, clean and tidy. The staff were very nice, polite and courteous and the breakfast was to die form. I ate so much breakfast I didn't need any lunch. If you asked a member of staff a question they would try their best to answer ...
