Would recommend the hotel. There's a nightclub nearby for those going clubbing and its a 25mins walk to Temple bar which is the more buzzy and trendy area of Dublin. (97735144)

positive comments Location.
negative comments Not many extra facilities but I think thats fair for the price and location. You get what you pay for.

The hotel was situated in a quiet more residential area of Dublin and with the direct airport bus stop 2 minutes walk. The local railway station just 5 mins walk which is ideal if you want to travel round Dublin Bay. We had good service from polite staff in a very clean well kept hotel. This is the first time we have used activehotels.com to book a short break and after the service we have had would definately use them again (97958605)

positive comments The hotel was convenient for visiting places of interest and shopping, was quiet and very clean with polite and helpfull staff

Hotel every bit as good as described & would def. stay there next time in Dublin. Easy access to centre (10 minute direct walk or if necessary,very short taxi ride) Only disappointment was the poor quality of service in the bar & the lack of food at 2.30 in the afternoon. (99117034)

positive comments Friendliness of reception staff. Location of hotel. Size of room.

William from Long Beach, California, US (Same sex couple) 14 June 2007

We stayed at the front of the hotel and the street was quite noisy. the room got a bit warm since we couldn't open the window due to the street noise. air conditioning would have been a solution for this problem. all in all, a great stay. (99767892)

positive comments great service. good location. clean and bright facilities
negative comments could have use free wireless internet. feel it's a bit cheap to make everyone pay by the hour. Just charge me a bit more for the room.

I really cant fault this hotel on any thing ,the staff were realy helpfull about everything we needed or asked for. The hotel was realy close to town 10 min walk no taxi needed , No taxi needed for our concert venue which was the RDS only 10 mins walk there which was brilliant to. this hotel also has late bar on week days and weekends with dj great for all ages. Thanks for 2 great weekends so far this year and we will use this hotel again for any visit we make to Dublin in the near future. (99712086)
