Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
"I needed a larger room with space on either side of the bed. Most suites are the same with two larger suites per floor. I wouldn’t recommend the regular suites if you have mobility issues. They’re too small and you have to climb on the bed to get in and out."

Clink i Lár
"The location is fantastic. The site was very clean. During busy times it’s easier to take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. The breakfast is convenient and decent shall you opt to pay the daily fee. Laundry facility was too much IMO (5 wash 7 dry). Would definitely stay again."
