Great hotel all round
Spoilt for choice of hotels in this city but i picked this. there is no parking but a multi story over the road.
this is one of the nicest hotels i have stayed in for a long while. lovely room and comfy bed. the food in Ember restaurant was tasty and not badly priced. Everyone was very friendly and very good service.
I would stay here again

For one reason I wouldn’t come back to this hotel - room is like a steam room, heating is running all the time. And for what ever reason staff can not turned it off. Couldn’t sleep all night.

Great wee hotel and very central
Lovely hotel, very central, great breakfast and the bar is also lovely. Room a little too warm for me even with heating off and window open but that’s personal preference. Overall we had a really good stay and would come again.

They keep this grand old hotel polished and clean.
I’m sure 50 years ago it was luxurious.
However, they have not advanced with the times. No Air conditioning isn’t a luxury hotel. They supply fans but it is warm most of the night.
The satellite tv they advertise is limited and it says antenna tv. There are no refrigerators in the room. No ice except at the bar. The Glory Days have passed them by.

We liked our stay so much, we rearranged our plans to stay again the night before our flight from Dublin. Wonderful historic hotel staffed by great people. Spacious rooms, just keep the windows closed if you like to sleep in.

Wonderful old but renovated hotel in downtown. Parking garage right across the street, and reasonable, like 12Euro for the night. Dining room and bar staff were wonderful. Food in Ember is first class.
