"Would recommend the hotel. There's a nightclub nearby for those going clubbing and its a 25mins walk to Temple bar which is the more buzzy and trendy area of Dublin." (97735144)
Location.
Not many extra facilities but I think thats fair for the price and location. You get what you pay for.

"Hotel every bit as good as described & would def. stay there next time in Dublin. Easy access to centre (10 minute direct walk or if necessary,very short taxi ride) Only disappointment was the poor quality of service in the bar & the lack of food at 2.30 in the afternoon." (99117034)
Friendliness of reception staff. Location of hotel. Size of room.

"We stayed at the front of the hotel and the street was quite noisy. the room got a bit warm since we couldn't open the window due to the street noise. air conditioning would have been a solution for this problem. all in all, a great stay." (99767892)
great service. good location. clean and bright facilities
could have use free wireless internet. feel it's a bit cheap to make everyone pay by the hour. Just charge me a bit more for the room.

"The hotel was situated in a quiet more residential area of Dublin and with the direct airport bus stop 2 minutes walk. The local railway station just 5 mins walk which is ideal if you want to travel round Dublin Bay. We had good service from polite staff in a very clean well kept hotel. This is the first time we have used activehotels.com to book a short break and after the service we have had would definately use them again" (97958605)
The hotel was convenient for visiting places of interest and shopping, was quiet and very clean with polite and helpfull staff
