Premier Suites Dublin Leeson Street
The apartment we stayed in was lovely and clean, bright and airy The location was great with easy access to St Stephen's Green We were able to walk to the AVIVA Stadium as it was only about 2kms and it wasn't raining! The only drawback, really, was the parking. That said, it was city centre Dublin ...
