The hotel is about a 40min walk to Dublin centre. The staff are friendly, the breakfasts are good. The rooms are clean & have what you need in them, it's a great place to get your head down for the night. The bar underneath the hotel was welcoming and serves great food although being in the hotel it was a little noisy at night, if you're a light sleeper or wanting peace, this may not be the ideal place, that's not saying it was particularly roudy or rough, just general pub noise! There's a lot of stairs too!
Tesco is right opposite, as is a taxi rank. Starbucks and mcdonalds is a short walk down the road. A taxi from the airport cost €38 & a taxi back from the city centre €12. On the whole, an ok, clean and friendly base for a trip.
