Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge
Reception was extremely accommodating! I left a suitcase behind on accident and they helped me to coordinate a courier service for sending it home. The breakfast was delicious as well. The Celtic Nights is a must-see. It was a major plus to be able to just go upstairs to the hotel after the event ...
