Staff were extremely accomodating, let me check in early, and gave me a fan on a hot night, which helped a lot. Although an older property, it was clean, and had a lot of appeal. Dining area was amazing, and lobby was interesting.
Location was great, close to tram, Paddywagon tour bus, and Dublin Express airport bus. Also plenty of pubs & restaurants in easy walking distance. Outside the hotel, in the nearby square, there appeared to be some vagrants. But I didn't feel threatened by anybody.
