The hotel was nice in general, but I was offended when the receptionist handling my checkin insisted that I preauthorize a payment of 14 in advance for breakfast, instead of directly charging it to my room and having it settled at checkout like every other hotel. That was after I had chosen to pay around 600 for my stay in advance. I ended up going outside for all my meals, which was a pleasant way to experience more of Dublin.
