The lobby are was beautiful. Great to sit and relax by a fireplace. Breakfast was easy and delicious. Only a few rooms have climate control. Mine did not have that and so it was too hot from the radiator. The pillows weren’t soft, more like rocks. The room keys were wiped clean any time you had them near your phone. I had to have my room keys replaced multiple times to go to my room.

I'll start with the good. The location of this hotel was excellent. It's in the Temple bar area, close to everything. Grafton Street is nearby, along with the river and the walking bridge. This was an older boutique hotel with a beautiful lobby with fireplaces and lots of seating. The hotel restaurant was ok, nothing great. The staff was also excellent and accommodating.
Now for the not-so-good. This hotel is older, which means it comes with old hotel problems. Many hallway elevation changes made toting our luggage upstairs and downstairs, even after getting off the elevator. It's a dark and old-feeling hotel, not light and bright. The rooms were tiny. The beds seemed short compared to the other four hotels in Ireland. We thought we had reserved a queen bed, but no, it was a double bed! Very small and uncomfortable.
The worst part, though, was the heat in the room. We turned ours off, opened the window, and could not cool the room down. There is no a/c, so we lived in a sweatbox for three nights. It was almost unbearable.
Would I stay there again? No, I would not.
