Was an overall stay, only issue was the air conditioning in the room didn’t work properly. We tried to get assistance with it but unable to fix it so our room was warm at night.

Great location. Under 5 minute walk to St Peter’s, Dublin Castle, and Christ Church Cathedral. We had paid for early check in (at 10am) but were able to check in substantially earlier when we got there earlier than we expected. Staff was great, room was nice, would definitely recommend.
