    The hotel needs some repairs. We noted a broken window. And the floor around the sink was dirty. Tissues in the room would have been appreciated. Help with our bags would have helped quite a bit.

    We liked the hotel’s historic decor. The staff was lovely. The pub food was good and so was the entertainment.

    The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious with a walk in shower. The evening meal (Irish Stew) was very tasty and the musical entertainment enjoyable. Within walking distance of the book of Kells and the coach to the airport.

    • Shower heads aren't regularly cleaned. Hard water/limescale deposits can be clearly seen. • Shower heads are the fixed type, not the detachable type. This is more of a matter of preference, so this disclosure is mainly for transparency. There are more drawbacks, but please note the following: 1. The hotel building is old, so more contemporary comforts may not be feasible for them 2. What I've noted is based on my experience, and may not necessarily apply to other rooms - • The bathroom doesn't appear to have adequate ventilation, so any odors and shower steam will linger for longer than you would like. Leave the door open if that is an issue for you. • There was no individual heating or air conditioning that can be controlled from the guest's end. This may be an issue if you plan on visiting when the weather is very hot or cold, but hardly problematic when the temperature is just right. The windows can be opened to some extent, and there is a small electric fan in the room. Based on photos that I've seen online, some rooms are equipped with radiators, so your mileage may vary. • Minimal soundproofing. Any sound coming from the hallways can be very clearly heard. I recommend you refrain from having private conversations with sensitive details in the hallway, as people occupying the adjacent rooms will hear you.

    • Bed is clean and comfortable • Towels are impeccably clean • Bathroom water heat and pressure (both shower and sink) are more than adequate • Complimentary bottle of water along with coffee & tea supplies replenished every night • Solid breakfast. The table service breakfast served downstairs is even better. • Good location. Far enough from the city noise, but close enough to walk to places of interest. If you don't like walking, it doesn't take too many steps to reach a bus stop.

    We were there during a rare heat wave and on the top floor so had to battle the dilemma of having the windows open to keep cool but then having to deal with a little noise from the neighborhood pubs. They did provide a fan for the room which was appreciated.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great each morning. Rooms were very clean.

    The rooms and hotel is somewhat outdated - the stairs and floor are squeaking and there is some sewer smell coming out of the bathroom

    Breakfast is very good - they have two restaurants, so there are options for both continental buffet and/or Irish breakfast menu. THey have parking (15 euro/night) which is very convenient considering how hard it is to find parking in Dublin if you don't want to pay a lot to the parking garages. The staffs are nice.

    We were on the top floor so our shower had very little water pressure. We managed to shower but it was a bit of a challenge!

    Fantastic location. Beautifully and tastefully decorated hotel. Wonderful friendly and accommodating staff. Delicious food. Comfortable bed. Excellent entertainment every night with Irish dancing on a Friday and Saturday night. Would return at the drop of a hat! Was relatively expensive but if you want a stately and relaxing hotel, this one is worth every penny!

    The room is quite small. There was no AC, so it could get very stuffy inside at times

    Location was very good. I was attending an event at Croke Park and it is within walking distance. Enjoyed the breakfast in the AM

    Room was a bit hot and stuffy. Very low flow shower heads. No streaming service option on tv.

    Great location, an easy walk to everything. Hotel itself was nicely decorated. Breakfast options were great. Our family room was spacious. Bathroom was a great size too with both a bath and shower and a seperate shower. Generous bathroom products. We managed to get one of the car parking spots within the gated courtyard area, very handy.
