This Hotel was in a super location, right in the thick of all we wanted to see in Dublin (walking distance, too!) and yet was quiet. Very comfortable room in an atmospheric Georgian building beautifully converted to it's use as a hotel. The breakfasts were more than good, and served very quickly from ordering, a real feat given how many people were staying, including quite large groups. There were lovely sitting rooms everywhere, supposing we had had time to sit (too busy exploring the lovely Dublin and surrounds!) and the desk staff were friendly and helpful, even booking a couple of tours for us at short notice. We would stay here again but have already recommended it to travelling friends.

The room was big and the hotel placed in the city center. But we passed the worst 3 nights of my life. The rome 221 is a room with the densation that all the buses and cars stop and restart in your bed. This room is not worth absolutely 100€ at night but just 40€ !!!!
