Had to take a night in the city during my conference, and was amazed how welcoming, easy, comfy my experience was. Yes, the room was small, which I was aware of, but it was super efficient, had all the needed things for comfort like toiletries, tea and coffee, different drinks and snacks. The bed was the best of all, so comfy and nice to dive in and snooze. I'm traveling a lot and for the past two years of quarterly traveling all over the globe, it was the best sleeping experience by far. Food was lovely too, especially breakfast was super fresh and just what was needed. Thank you!

We loved this hotel. We looked at pictures in advance, so we knew the rooms were small. What surprised us was how very clean, efficient, friendly and efficiently planned this place would be. Someone put a lot of thought into designing this property. The location was perfect for the activities we had planned. Just off busy Dame street, we were very close to our tour bus meeting spots and the Temple Bar area. At the front desk, Andrea was especially friendly and helpful. At the bar, we enjoyed conversations with the two ladies in charge (I think one was named Queenie?). Breakfast was delicious, and a bargain for the quality. Our room was in perfect condition every night when we returned from the day's activities. We always felt safe.

Super stylish and eco friendly hotel. The location is perfect for being central in Dublin and walking to many places. Room was small for sure (but that’s what you sign up for when you stay here!) but was comfortable and clean and exactly what we needed. Also, the front desk staff are sooo friendly and helpful. We got some great info and recs from them and really appreciated it.

This was such a great hotel. I was a bit worried about the size based on other reviewers, but it was a good amount of space for two people. The hotel and rooms are clean, modern and digital. There's a separate toilet and shower rooms which was nice! Location is in a quiet area in Temple Bar and is walkable to plenty of pubs, restaurants and transit. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Wow. My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was an incredible stay. The rooms are cozy and smaller but still very comfy and don’t feel like you’re cramped. Service was incredible, staff were so kind in every interaction we had and breakfast is amazing. The coffee and espresso quality was so good in the cafe and stopping in the hotel bar for a late night Guinness was so fun too. Location is great and all the sights of Dublin are extremely walkable from here! Would 100% stay here again and plan on it.
