This hotel is beautifully placed to allow you to enjoy Temple Bar, but leave most of the noise behind as you stroll back over the Millenium Bridge to your room.

Excellent breakfast and very nice staff

Lots of steps for those less able

great location,great food and the staff were fab just thought it was a bit pricy.
our room didnt seem superior for a 4 star hotel the tiles in the shower needed re grouting and all the wood in the room was marked.

staff were a credit nothing to much trouble and the bed was comfy *

the room overall needed abit of tlc

This hotel is right in the centre of Dublin. Just 2 minutes walk from the Temple Bar area. The breakfasts are expensive but delicious and the restaurant was a cool place to eat.

Had a wonderful weekend in Dublin, fantastic atmosphere in all the places we went to. Would definitely go again. The only downside is everything is expensive due to the tourism.

Funky hotel, good location, tour bus and fantastic guiness!!

Great hotel in a great location. Lovely spacious rooms, really comfortable beds, excellent breakfast, nice lounge bar and excellent service from the staff. Would stay here again without any hesitation.

The look, feel and location of the hotel

The absence of any towel rails in the bathroom

Great hotel, location was excellent, rooms clean and staff very helpful. They also serve breakfast on weekends until 12noon which was an added bonus especially with the hangovers!! Would definitely stay here again.

location, cleanliness, price

nothing!

We were very impressed with this hotel. Wonderful location just opposite Temple Bar. Easy walk to all major sights. Excellent, well priced restaurants, wine bars and shopping areas near by. Hotel staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Our room was spacious, afforded views of the river and artistic in its furnishings and use of colour. Approach by car was very tricky. Lighting in all areas of hotel was very dim I would not hesitate to stay in this hotel nor to recommend it to friends.

Access by car

Myself and my partner were in Dublin for the day for a Christening. We arrived Saturday lunchtime, checked in and had lunch in the bar. My girlfriend had a caesar salad and I had a burger and chips - both very tasty and served promptly (fat chips too ...mmm!)
We then made our way to the Christeninmg, which the staff kindly arranged taxis for us.
On our return later that evening the hotel was very hot. They had some issues with the air con, which meant we were very hot and didn't get the best nights sleep (Engineers had attended site, fixed the problem but it broke again a little later - these things happen!)
Next morning we had a fantastic breakfast in the restaurant. There was a huge selection of fresh fruits, cheese and hams and a buffet style cooked breakfast. The room temperature was still an issue so we had our coffee in their patio garden whilst reading the papers - much cooler. The restaurant itself was stunning - albeit a little knocked and bruised. After 3 years of being open I think it could do with a little refreshing, but the service and food itself was first class.
We went back to our rooms to pack and prepare to check out. One criticism we both had about the room was the lighting. The rooms were lovely and the low lighting worked fine in the evening but for applying make-up / shaving, the lighting was inadequate.
When we went to check out the staff were very apologetic. The Front of House Manager took time out to chat with us personally, apologised for the heating, wrote off our lunch bill from the previous day and gave me her card so I could contact her directly for when we next visit Dublin. This was a very generous gesture and totally unexpected. I cannot recall another hotel ever taking such a personal interest in their guests and it was really appreciated (many thanks Jane!!!) I will certainly be calling her for my next visit!!

Staff, decor, food, location

broken aircon

Great location on the river within easy walking distance to Temple bar area and Grafton Street. Half an hour from airport on the bus into Ormond Quay (need to have the correct change for the bus service, you can buy a ticket from the machines at the airport at the bus stance) Hotel located on a main road, however was not easily visible from the drop off point on the other side of the quay, so after getting of the bus we had to ask around to find it. Rooms are clean,average size with tea making facilities, mini bar,t.v, comfy beds. Bathroom could do with being freshened up. The double glazing does shut out the traffic noise at night and air conditioning worked well.The hotel is nicely decorated however very dimly lit at night. The breakfast choice is excellent, setting you up for the day. Majority of staff appear to be foreign and not all that welcoming or chatty, we had a better send off than welcome from the Irish receptionist when we left. Overall hotel served its purposes for a few days and would certainly return

Good location, helpful staff. Ideal base for a mini break.

Excellent hotel great design and a great price from this site at £350 for 3 nights including breakfast. Book this hotel through hotels click...you will not be dissapointed.

The design

The view from the room but not everyone can get a river view and for the price one shouldn't grumble

On entering the hotel we received a warm & freindly greeting from reception.The room was excellent,air conditioning,splendid bed,state of the art plazma screen tv & the best teabags we have ever tasted.The hotel is only a couple of minutes walk away from the splendid Templegate of which we can confirm delivers first class dining & drinking.We returned to the hotel in the evening and enjoyed drinks & chat with other customers.The morning after the hotel provides the perfect hangover breakfast, self-serve buffet all of which was excellent quality.Take time to look arounfd the hotel it is beautifully designed. Superb!!

Everything

 

An excellent hotel in an excellent location. Breakfast was great - very tasty. Service was also great. Would stay here again on any future trip to Dublin. A weekend away each year without the kids should be made compulsory!

Breakfast and location

Nothing

Great hotel and excellant staff. The night porter in particular was very helpful and friendly. We got engaged during our stay and the hotel added to the moment.

Breakfast was very nice. The bar was a lovely place to enjoy a quiet drink in the afternoon. The interior of the hotel is very stylish however the subdude lighting sometimes gives the impression that a couple of bulbs need to be replaced.

The location of the hotel is fantastic. A very short walk over one of the many bridges leads you stright into the heart of Temple Bar. Enjoy a great meal in Brunos on the right hand side as you enter Temple Bar. Food and service was excellant.

Overall a great place to stay with exceptional staff. Would go back again.

Almost everything

The lighting in reception

EVERY MEMBER OF STAFF WAS POLITE, FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT FROM THE MOMENT WE ARRIVED WHEN THE RECEPTIONIST DIDN'T HESSITATE TO UPGRADE OUR ROOM TO RIVER VIEW (F.O.C.).
RIGHT THROUGH TO US LEAVING WHEN ANOTHER ORDERED US A TAXI TO THE AIRPORT(BECAUSE HE TOOK LONGER TO ARRIVE THAN SHE THOUGHT HE SHOULD SHE TOOK IT ON HERSELF TO CHASE HIM UP ON THE PHONE AND STAND IN THE STREET WAITING FOR HIM WHILE WE RELAXED IN THE LOUNGE)
