Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not all rooms have air conditioning — The Double Room is listed with air conditioning, but other room types are not, which could matter in warm weather.
  • Distance from some attractions — While close to O’Connell Street, some guests found it a long walk to other major tourist sites, and Dublin Castle is about a 25-minute walk away.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travelling with an animal is not an option here.
  • Check-in window restricted — Check-in is only available from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals outside this window may need to arrange otherwise.

“Everything was great and the weather was fantastic. The room was nicely decorated and modern, with everything I needed. The continental breakfast was excellent. The location was particularly good, just 5 minutes from Mountjoy Square Park, in a quiet area with takeaways, tourist spots, and O’Connell Street all nearby. Honestly, a wonderful vacation stay.”
