The hotel is situated right in the heart of Temple Bar, providing easy access to the best of Dublin while being a bit noisy due to its central location. The rooms, although not as spacious as depicted in photos, were clean and updated. The service, especially from Barry and the crew, was top-notch. The dining experience, starting a bit late for some, was enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for exploring Dublin, though it can get noisy and crowded until the early hours.

The hotel is located right in the heart of the vibrant Temple Bar district, offering easy access to the best of Dublin within walking distance. The rooms feature a unique skylight ceiling with electronic covers, and the friendly bartender escorts you to your room. However, being close to a nightclub can be a bit noisy at times. The dining experience is delightful, especially for brunch, although it starts a bit late at 10:30. Overall, a fabulous location with impressive room features and great dining options.
