In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Rooftop restaurant with city views — Guests repeatedly praise the rooftop dining, citing fine views, good service, and creative cocktails.
  • Great location for exploring Dublin — Within walking distance of St Stephen's Green, Merrion Square, and Trinity College, and close enough to the centre yet quiet.
  • Distinctive, artful decor — Guests describe the interiors as beautiful, quirky, and gallery-like, with botanical flourishes and velvet furnishings.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower than other aspects — While decor is praised, the 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scored relatively lower (6/10) compared to location and dining.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your furry companions.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to coordinate with the 24-hour reception.
  • Parking information not provided — No parking details are listed, so you'll need to plan for city parking or use public transport.
