Exceed expectations
To be honest, I was not expecting nothing incredible as from what I searched for, did not saw nothing related, however, that's the catch. It's pretty good indeed. Comfortable room, good space, good bed and good location.

Quiet, clean and friendly helpful staff
The hotel is not quite central but easy to get too using the Dart trains and close to Aviva stadium if in Dublin for the rugby. About a 20 minute walk to Trinity college or 30 minutes to Templebar or a short taxi ride. The hotel was quiet, clean, with decent sized rooms and bed and very helpful staff. A good cocktail bar is attached. The breakfast was o.k. if not exciting. I would certainly use the hotel again if in Dublin for rugby or business in that part of town.

Great spot
Great location, friendly staff, incredible shower. Shame you’ve to pay for parking if you don’t book directly with the hotel. Was never advised so that’s a bit unfortunate but other than that it was great

Quiet location comfortable and convenient to park, and restaurants. Hotel workers were incredibly friendly and helpful especially behind the front desk, at the small grab and go cafe, and the restaurant. Would definitely stay here again!

The Grand Canal was very convenient to getting about the main part of town, and its adjacency to the DART made it easy to get to farther points. The variety of food options, from the daily breakfast to the quick coffee/pick-up food/light lunch in the lobby, to the brewpub attached made it very simple and enjoyable to hang out with my travel companions if we were too tired to venture out. The bathrooms were the nicest I saw on my trip, although I would have loved a bathtub for a soak.
