8/10 Good
"Solid hotel convenient to Dublin airport. The breakfast was the highlight, paying for parking was the lowlight. Including parking in the price or letting customers know ahead of time would be more transparent. It was crazy crowded, so having only three elevators complicates things when checking in. The fitness center is way too small (with no air flow) for the amount of folks staying there. That said, beds were comfy, shower had great water pressure, rooms came with a fridge. Overall, a reliable choice for the night before a flight."

"A great hotel close to the IMMA and other key points of interests! Loved the design choices of the room, very clean, small but perfectly cosy for a solo traveller with a super comfy bed. Added bonus was the luxurious Rituals toiletries in the bathroom. Bartender allowed me to take a Prosecco flute up to my room, which is always appreciated too. Thank you!"
