This hotel is incredible - the staff are extremely hospitable, the rooms are lovely, and the food and drink are great. It’s only a 10-15 minute walk from Grafton Street, so a little bit out from the centre, but the walk in is lovely as you go past Trinity, and there’s also an abundance of taxis. We would definitely stay here again.
