The location WAS excellent for exploring the area. It added an extra layer of safety. The bed was very comfortable and ensured a restful sleep! The artwork gave a cool vibe throughout the hotel.

The breakfast felt expensive considering what was offered. It should be included in the room price! I had a hard time finding enough space to open my luggage.

The hotel's location proved convenient for city exploration (especially Temple Bar). I appreciated the proximity to the Jameson Distillery. The entire staff was very cute. I particularly enjoyed engaging in conversations with fellow travelers at the bar.

The room was quite small. Access to the bed was only available from one side. This made it difficult to move around at night.

i found the staff lovely and very helpful. the breakfast was amazing, and the bed was very comfortable. the people around were also very kind (especially the breakfast staff). the hotel was very clean, which i greatly appreciate.

The room size was disappointing. Climbing over my partner to get to the bathroom wasn't ideal. it was difficult to do basic things in the room because of the lack of space. also, there was no window in the room or bathroom.
