The hotel is located in the City Centre, near the Temple Bar, so walking distance to the main Dublin's atractions or the buses. Although the location is great, the hotel itself is very old and requires renovation. The room was tiny-tiny, clean but all the furniture was very old, damaged. Also the footsteps were heard very loudly.
There is no breakfast, no early check-in. The lift is out of order.
Although there is no early check-in , you can leave the luggage in the hotel and come back at 3pm for check-in.
so, if the location is the most important thing, I wouold recomend this hotel to stay in. If you would like to relax there, than check some other options.
