"We really weren't sure what to expect but quickly sorted ourselves out. The highlights: excellent staff who were always willing to provide good service, answer questions, make a drink, give directions, etc. We returned from the theatre around 11pm having missed dinner. We were delighted that we could still get hot food and drinks and the food was fresh and good quality. Hotel was in a good location for activities on both the north and south side of the River although a little off the main area. Be prepared to walk a lot (which you should be prepared to do in Dublin anyway!). There's a train that ran right outside our windows and we heard very little noise from it and it did not impact our good night sleep. Lowlights: the standard room was very small and the upgrade option felt too expensive. Corridors are dark and we had a terrible view out the window (in hindsight, we should have asked for a room change). No room for 2 people with suitcases: we used the table for one and the luggage stand for the other; again, we probably should have asked for another luggsge rack. Bathroom was very small but good shower. No faceclothes. As is likely for most visitors, we spent very little time in the room for our 3 night stay so it was all fine and the highlights outweighed the lowlights for the most part."
