I have mixed feelings about this hotel. On the one hand, the rooms were comfortable but quite small, and being overlooking the main road with a tram stop made it quite noisy. However, the twin room on the front of the hotel was nice and had what we needed. The service was good with newspaper service and tours/ticket assistance, but the location was convenient, not too close to the main tourist area but within a reasonable walking distance, making a city break very pleasurable. The dining experience at the Kingfisher Restaurant was a solid 10 out of 10 beautiful, but the breakfast starting from 9am to 1am was too late if you wanted to start sightseeing early. Unfortunately, alternatives to the hot/cooked breakfast would be good. The facilities were satisfactory, although there were some negatives in terms of noise and room size.

The hotel is perfectly located off O'Connell Street, right in the heart of Dublin, making it convenient for transportation and exploring the city. The rooms were a bit crowded with unnecessary single beds but were clean and comfortable. The dining experience was outstanding at the adjoining restaurant, and the staff provided excellent service. However, some may find the room layout too cramped, and there is an additional fee for certain services.

I stayed in a room at the back of the hotel on the top floor, which I vacated around lunchtime. Overall, it was a comfortable stay. The hotel is conveniently located, not too noisy but close enough to walk to the main bars and shopping areas. The service was great, offering newspaper service and tours/ticket assistance. The dining experience at the restaurant next door was amazing, with a super selection and great staff. However, the facilities were lacking with limited amenities. The location was perfect for exploring, just off O'Connell Street beside the Rotunda Hospital.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, although they were very close together. The cafe next door, 'In Cahoots,' provided a lively atmosphere but overlooked the busy Parnell St, with traffic and a Luas running along it.
