"The Dublin One hotel was perfect for our 2-night stay. We were able to walk to the Bon Jovi concert and were in walking distance of the city center. We got to the hotel early, and the front desk staff was very helpful in letting us check in early. We didn't check into parking until about a week before our stay. We parked at the Mater Hospital, which was about a 5-minute walk to the hotel It all worked out. You don't really need a car if staying in Dublin because you can take a taxi or bus anywhere. Overall, it was a great experience."
