In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Location right on the River Liffey — The hotel sits on Wellington Quay, in the thick of Temple Bar. Guests note easy access to pubs, shops, Trinity College, and the ferry port – all within a short walk.
  • Modern, clean rooms — Rooms are described as brand-new, clean, and modern, with touches like smart TVs, electric blinds, and effective soundproofing. Even budget-conscious guests were pleasantly surprised by the bathroom quality.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Staff consistently earn praise for their friendliness and willingness to assist, from general queries to helping a guest catch a ferry on time.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities or policies, which may be a consideration for guests arriving by car.
  • Pets are not allowed — The hotel's policy explicitly states that pets are not permitted, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your animal companions.
  • Some rooms lack windows — The room inventory includes a 'Without Window Double Room', which may not appeal to guests who prefer natural light or a view.
  • No breakfast option mentioned — While one review mentions 'goodies for breakfast', the hotel's amenities and policies do not include a breakfast service – so it's unclear if it's offered, and if so, at what cost.
