National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History

This was a new hotel with very nice rooms. It was next to an apartment the had children and pets / which a little dog barked a lot But no fault of the. Hotel. The staff was helpful Was close to bus stops and a few places to eat. They said in their description it was 15 min to airport although it wasn’t. We traveled at different times of the day and neither was that short. And this sounds silly….But the pillows were great!! We booked through a 3rd party and so breakfast was extra. I mention this because I didn’t realize you give up several things by not booking direct. Not just this hotel but others too!!!

Positives: If you want to explore Dublin this is a great location, many tourist attractions are walkable. The rooms are nice and clean. The staff were very helpful especially Sylvia. Negatives: Lighting is not great in the room and bathroom I know it's a style lighting concept, but I didn't like it. The videos on the tv on how to operate the appliances often didn't work well and this is important when using these rooms because you rent these rooms for the appliances. The AC/H unit in our room didn't work well even when the staff thought they fixed it for us it stopped working again this was frustrating because it could get very warm in the room. There is no inside the bathroom exhaust which I was surprised at and the return vent outside the bathroom door when in use wasn't enough to cool off the bathroom after a hot shower. The washer/dryer was challenging especially if you're from the US, the washer works well enough, but the dryer is very limited in drying power. Another negative if your someone who expects a drawer/bureau to put your clothes in for your stay there is not one at least not in the Studio apartment we stayed in.

Comfortable accommodation close to key areas of the city.
