We stayed in a one bedroom suite with balcony on the 6th floor. The positives first...The suite is very large. Far more than enough room. The balcony is large and very nice, with patio furniture ready for a relaxing drink before heading out into Dublin. There is a half bath along with a large master bath. I thought that was a great bonus. It was also extremely quiet on the 6th floor. The bed was fantastic. We got a great night's sleep. The downside of the suite is that the furniture and decor looks like something out of a 1980's conference room. I was shocked. It is worn, brown and very office-like. Badly in need of an update.
The location of the hotel is perfect for going out in Dublin. It is very central to everything and we walked everywhere. Couldn't ask for a better location.
The staff of the hotel was very professional and friendly. They were so efficient and we never had to wait a moment for anything. Nothing but praise for them all.
The breakfast was amazing. If you can't find something that you like in that spread, you aren't looking hard enough. I've never seen so much food. The restaurant staff was also first class. Best hotel breakfast I've ever seen.
I would definitely give five stars if it weren't for that worn out, tired furniture. It's a shame, really, for such a beautiful hotel to have that problem.
