This is a little oasis on the outskirts of the city centre. The whole experience was amazing. We were 2 couples with a bedroom & bathroom each. The beds were very comfortable, and all the towels & linen of a high standard. We slept so well as the area is very quiet and safe, not a sound at night! There is a separate cosy sitting room & kitchen, all well equipped. The place was spotless. The location was great for public transport into city, airport & UCD. But best of the lot was Alan our host who was so generous and his attention to detail amazing. We definitely will be back.

We spent a wonderful weekend here, and from the very beginning, the experience was fantastic. The staff went above and beyond—even before we arrived. When we called ahead to check the weather conditions, they were so warm and helpful. Throughout our stay, they always went extra mile to assist with anything we needed—whether it was directions, arranging a taxi, providing a toothbrush when we forgot ours (classic). One of us, unfortunately, had her wallet stolen, and the staff showed incredible kindness by inviting us to enjoy a free breakfast. Now, if that’s not the most thoughtful and empathetic gesture, then tell me what is. The hotel itself is absolutely charming: perfectly located in the heart of the city, close to the pubs and all the action, yet somehow still peaceful and quiet at night. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to rest up after a busy day exploring. If we’re ever back in Dublin, there’s no question—we’ll absolutely stay here again. A huge thank you to the wonderful staff for making our trip so special! And shout-out to Fiona for her patience and willingness to help :)
