8/10 Good
"Good location, away from the main attractions but close enough that you could walk or take transit to them. We chose it because Europcar was just down the street and the Dublin Express bus to the airport was just a couple of blocks away. Our room had a nice view of the River Liffey and the replica of the Jeanie Johnston. The hotel was nice and the room clean and comfortable but the products in the shower were empty when we arrived and the room had a loud banging sound that went on for 15 or 20 minutes after flushing the toilet which was annoying in the middle of the night. We didn't get to a concert but the 3Arena is just a 15 min walk down the road."
