    Truly enjoyed how the exceptionally clean and airy room with good breakfast was arranged when we arrived. The breakfast was great and lovely with vegan options and juices, as example, so much to pick from. The hotel had great location short walk to the Poolbeg Lighthouse and the picturesque canal and the sea wall.

    The views were not very good.

    It was a particularly good and fab location for us, just off the Theatre and the new Docklands area, the tourist areas and many other attractions. Plus, a large stadium was just a pleasant stroll away from the hotel.

    5 mins from Aviva and free parking.

    Couldn't get a drink from the bar on Saturday night - should be a separate bar for residents or reception should be able to get drinks. The guy on reception told us they were too busy. The rest of the staff were great.

    Friendly staff, room was clean and bright

    Unfortunately would not recommend paying the extra for the breakfast, we had to stand at door and wait 5 mins to be seated and had to ask for bowls for cereal, very poor choice of fresh fruit and breads and after 15mins had to ask staff member to take out order and waited another 15mins for it to arrive cold, not worth the money

    friendly staff
    good burger
    small room
    lack of soundproofing

    The hotel staff was friendly, the bar had a good chicken burger, and the breakfast selection exceeded my expectations. The room was quite small, lacked soundproofing, and had no air conditioning, which made for a somewhat uncomfortable night.

    The price of the Hotel, the price of drink and food when other pubs and hotels in close proximity to the Aviva stadium seemed intent on ripping people off, it was appreciated

    Staff were really friendly we got a nice surprise when we arrived we were upgraded to a suite this room was lovely with a balcony and great view over the city. Food in the gasworks was good and not too expensive. Will stay here again great for attending Aviva or RDS.Good breakfast and lots of variety.

    spacious room
    great breakfast
    low sink

    I recently enjoyed my stay here, and the spacious room had a lovely coffee machine and a great selection of breakfast options. It was nice to unwind by the cozy fire in the lobby and make use of the relaxing spa facilities. The only hiccup was that the sink in our room was a bit low, but it didn’t put a damper on our experience. 😊

    Stayed at this hotel for three nights, the staff were excellent and very helpful , the room I had was spotless and the bed was very comfortable . We were able to walk into the city centre from the hotel , and it's a 15 min walk to the rds stadium . The hotel also has a shuttle bus going to the airport every hour from 6am . I would stay at this hotel next time I visit Dublin .
