We would stay here again. The staff was friendly and the hotel room was clean and big. The only bad thing was they were doing construction near our hotel room and woke us up early in the morning.

This is the most unfriendly hotels I have ever stayed in. I knew it was convienient for going into the city but that's where the good news ends. The staff were unhelpfull with cleaners bursting into the room at 9am and returning again 45 mins later. I also queried the price as I needed to change the room type at the last minute and after 4 phonecalls and nobody available to help me I gave up. I would not stay again!!

Although the hotel was close to the Guinness factory which was good, it was further away from the downtown area than I would have wanted. If they had mentioned that in the website I might have stayed closer to town. But overall it was a nice stay.

Very convenient to Heuston Station for trains and trams. This was the worst stay of our entire trip, however, as the noise from all night parties/drunks never ceased. We also had to endure 30 minutes of a loud siren caused by a false alarm.

My only comment is to back up one I read on the site before booking - the hotel is not in central Dublin. I booked it because it is beside the Heuston railway station. But if you want to walk out the door into downtown Dublin you can't - however there is a regular bus service from the train station.

The hotel is very nice and have a good price (compared to similar accomodation in dublin). The only problem I've found is about the location: not in the city center (as it was told) but at 10-15 minutes by bus and with a bad surroundings. The last thing I've to remark is the breakfast: REALLY EXCELLENT!!

The noise was terrible from the bar. The bar closed about 0230 in the morning. I did not sleep a wink before this. The rooms are seemingly OK, but I have asthma and allergy, and my respiratory system reacted very badly. Probably a lot of dust, mildew etc.
