Room was clean but staff was not very responsive. Our flight was cancelled day of and I messaged and tried to call multiple times with no response. When we arrived a day later (after completing pre-check in on time, paying ahead, and messaging to let them know we were still coming) they had given our room away. There was another room available thankfully, but we definitely got lucky. Overall not a bad stay, but not the most hospitable either.

Good location and cheap for Dublin area. Bathroom was a bit dirty but still usable. Sleeping was fine and reception is 24/7 so really helpful. Area is safe. There's a bar in the ground floor..great for sports and food. Also right next to jameson distillery tour! Would come again as a solo traveller.
