The hotel is ideally located just outside the Temple Bar area, right off the River Liffey. The rooms were not cleaned properly, and there was no soap in the dispenser. The service was exceptional, especially from our dedicated waiter Anthony. The hotel is within walking distance of everything, which is very convenient. The dining options lacked variety as there were no standard vegetarian choices, but the local seafood was excellent.

The hotel is ideally situated just outside the Temple Bar area by the River Liffey and offers a lovely late evening walk beside the grand canal. It's in a nice area close to the Convention Centre and a theater. The dining experience comes with prime steaks but could improve on vegetarian options.
