8.7Verified guest“A lovely hotel with excellent amenities like Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and a fitness centre. The staff kindly accommodated my late check-in on the first visit. I thoroughly recommend it and look forward to returning at Christmas.”
8.7Verified guest“The reception team impressed me by verifying with my travel companion before allowing me into the room. Courteous and professional, it's reassuring to see such attention to detail. I'd just come from a paintball session in Cork and was a bit disheveled, but the staff were very welcoming.”
8.7Verified guest“A high-class, brand-new hotel with panoramic views over the garden and the neighboring horse arena at the RDS. Staff were professional, the room was spotless and new. Excellent, unbeatable location in Dublin, a short walk to restaurants, pubs, and bus links to the city center. Good food at the casual restaurant nearby, easy check-in, late check-out, great internet, and on-site parking.”
