Pros +
- The staff was nice.
- -Great breakfast with wonderful coffees, smoothies, and juices -Super cozy rooms -Extremely friendly staff
- The location was perfect - walking distance to nearly everything we wanted to see and visit in Dublin, and the staff was welcoming and kind. The room was a good size coming from Galway where everything was VERY tight!
Cons -
- We did see a bug (some kind of millipede) in the shower. We did not like the carpet floor.
- -No shower towel hooks in bathrooms -Procedue for getting new towels was not clear, and the delivery of new ones didn't happen
- The bed was uncomfortable, and the cocktails from the bar were undrinkable. An ounce of watered down whiskey = Old Fashioned and syrup = margarita. We did see on our final day that we could've requested other styles of pillow, which may have helped a bit?
