Anonymous, Oct 2019
Pros (+) Location, location, location. Centrally located to most major attractions in central Dublin. Excellent value for money.
Cons (-) No easily accessible elevator as this hotel was not built as one. The porters are very helpful with bags, though. Ask for a room on a high floor if noise from the lively bar below is an issue.
