Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin
"This was a nice hotel. I am not sure that the value is there however. While it is downtown, the price per night doesn’t quite justify the overall experience. We stayed two nights."

Clink i Lár
"Comfy and no-frills travel. Room was clean and relatively quiet. Comfortable beds and bedding. You need a 3 prong adapter to charge devices. If you don't have one they have a vending machine where you can purchase one with a card. Breakfast was buffet and worth pre-booking for €8.95"
