My company forgot to book my accomodation so I found this hotel on the off chance and booked a room at a fairly good B&B rate.
The ability to utilise valet parking was a good bonus as driving to and from the hotel is difficult with the vehicle restrictions in the area. There are signs telling you that only bus, taxis and access only can use certain routes around the hotel so you just have to drive through taxi ranks, bus lanes and a tram line.
I was dismayed that they demanded I pay by credit card upfront and offered no alternative other than prepaying in cash. How odd for such a good hotel.
The lifts are incredibly slow but other than that you shouldn't find fault.
The room I had was newly redecorated with an extremely comfortable bed and pillows. The room has blackout blinds, flat screen tv and a very nice en suite with no bath just a shower enclosure. The only issue I have with the room was the noise from street level. There are many many bums and stoners around the area hanging around the tram/luas line outside the door. I was on the top floor and they spoiled the otherwise very nice stay.
I arrived far too early for breakfast but the very helpful waiter allowed me have some continental whilst the chef fired up the kitchen. You have a nice view out onto the street and the vibration of the tram passing and people watching is enjoyable.
Ladies, the room did not have any full length mirrors at all which was rather strange for a very newly renovated room. I know my other half gets very annoyed at that.
I enjoyed the traditionally designed bar and the staff were friendly and I enjoyed having a chat whilst being otherwise bored in the hotel room.
Would I stay there again? Definately and have already recommended it to colleagues.
