I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although small, were clean and provided a comfortable night's rest. The service was friendly and accommodating, which was a nice touch. The location was convenient, with access to public transport, but some cleanliness issues were noticeable. The dining experience left much to be desired, with poor quality and limited options. The facilities were average, lacking standout features.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were cosy with a lovely walk-in shower and a decent size fridge for my drinks. Although small, the room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only downside was that it was quite warm overnight.

The dining experience was a bit unexciting, lacking marmite or jam for the toast. However, the next morning's options were freshly cooked to order and delicious, even the croissants.

A quiet and secluded setting adds to the charm, perfect for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was pleasant with a variety of freshly cooked options, despite some setbacks. Overall, a solid choice for a peaceful stay close to nature.

The hotel has some special touches in the rooms like Netflix, Nespresso machine, and Molten Brown toiletries, with towel doves and love hearts on the bed. The atmosphere is more like a pub with a few nice rooms. The service is friendly but lacking outdoor seating. The location is excellent by the canal, very central to Dublin City, and offers easy access to public transport. The dining options are limited, with mostly available breakfast choices. Overall, a cozy stay with unique room features, though some service and dining improvements could enhance the experience.
