NYX Hotel Dublin Portobello
Lovey hotel, but far out but nothing too bad. Room lighting is an issue - it’s either full brightness or pitch black. You’ll see how annoying this is when you stay

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Great hotel and general vibe but the fire alarm went off at 2:30am for 20+ minutes. Staff did not communicate with the guests standing outside. The fire department was not called. I just wish communication was better with the customers.
