At first we were given a room with view of parking lot. It was our first time in Dublin so wanted to have some type of view. They were able to change our room to one with a great view of canal,etc. The room was smaller with smaller bed but the view made up for it.

The room was very clean, modern. Location is very convenient, walking distance to the most attractions, and plenty of dining options around. Staff is polite, especially the guy at the reception, Sourin. He put all effort to ensure that we are all set. Loved this place!

This hotel is beautiful, staff was great, and location was good. It is in a part that gets traffic in the mornings due to people going to work, but after the morning rush it dies down. Would definitely stay here again, it did not disappoint.
