Will stick to a group hotel
I have stayed in many hotels and I have to say this was the most uncomfortable bed I have slept in. When I sat on the mattress, it sunk so deep I though I was going to end up on the floor. Not sure about the placement of the water glasses on the shelf behind the toilet

The hotel is very convenient for the city centre and the staff are very pleasant and efficient in their jobs . My small double room was perfect for me and had a great shower! The shower door might cause issues for a larger boned person as it a bit narrow,but I was ok. I flagged up an issue with my toilet flush when I arrived and it was quickly sorted (thank you!). Although I am a lone traveller I felt safe .I had seen reviews about being aware of rough sleepers and dodgy characters after dark but I had no problems ( I am used to it, coming from London). I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends if they travel to Dublin and hope to come home stay again one day.
