Each air-conditioned room includes free WiFi, premium bedding, a work desk, and tea/coffee facilities.

Special Facilities

A dedicated Take a book-leave a book library area is available for guests. The hotel offers flexible pricing for hospital-related stays and medical visitors. On-site parking is available at the nearby Q-Park facility with reduced rates.

Family-Friendly Services

Kids' meals are available at the restaurant, and the hotel provides extra space in family rooms with three double beds in some configurations.

Highlights

Location: 2-minute walk from O'Connell Street, under 10-min walk to Dublin Castle

“In my opinion, this modern hotel, nestled a mere two-minute stroll from O'Connell Street, really shines when catering to families, as its spacious rooms comfortably accommodate up to six guests; the flexible pricing for hospital-related stays also strikes me as a thoughtful touch. While some past guests have mentioned cleanliness issues, the friendly and helpful staff, alongside the prime location for Dublin exploration, still make it a consideration for future stays. I believe that with improved attention to detail, this hotel could easily elevate its appeal.”
