We knew it would be loud as the bar downstairs had 7 days a week live music, and when we walked into our room we were immediately given earplugs for sleeping. It wasn’t too bad with the headphones. It got bad when a group of individuals in the hotel decided to make the 3rd floor hall their own nightclub from 1am-4:30am and the hotel staff did nothing about it. Other hotel guests were seen trying to quiet them down but the staff made little to no effort and did not apologize about it. The entire staff was also very unfriendly from the beginning and made us feel unwelcome from the beginning. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay right by some fun bars, don’t mind loud music at night and don’t plan to feel welcome in your hotel, then this is the place to stay.

Be prepared to be awake till 3.00am. A night club in the same building with loud music. The location is great. Transportation is easily available. Bus service right by the door to the airport. Great variety of food and pubs within walking distance.

Area was perfect! And hotel was cleanliness was faultless. Only concern was we had someone try to enter our room when one of our friends was on her own in there late at night. When we returned back early hours one morning our door was open. Nothing gone, but very concerning.

This night away was a spur of the moment but to say it was the best unplanned trip, the hotel was amazingly comfortable with all mod cons in a small hotel

Even if it's out of their control, we had no hot water or room heater for 3 of the 4 days we stayed, with no "recovery tool" compensation, nothing offered. Room had no phone, they installed a glass shelf exactly above the MICRO SINK, that had the same depth as the sink. No light above the desk. Roof in room 314 is slanted, with two skylights, with poor sound and weather insulation. After you hit your head 3 times when getting out of bed to use the bathroom, you learn to climb over your partner on the other side of the bed. Staff was apologetic, but couldn't care less. I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend it to anyone.

1 night perfect stay
We stayed for 1 night, its a great hotel to stay in if you plan to go out in town at night or just want somewhere very central! It is attached to a nightclub so it won't suit everyone as its loud but we loved it as we were going to one. The room was perfect and clean, beds comfy and tv working and has netflix if you want. Staff at reception lovely and we had no problems at all. Would not recommend staying if you want a quiet night in or have children.

Very clean and updated room. Good location but no parking nearby. Major problem with noise as rooms are above a nightclub and unless you can sleep to the beat of the drums, it is difficult to sleep before 2:00 AM.

Find a Different Hotel
This hotel was clean and the room was spacious. However, the room did not have night stands or USB connections to charge phones. The absolute worst part was that it is connected ot a night club which was open to 2:30am. We read there was a club next door but did not know that it was right at the hotel. We checked in the first day we mentioned our concern about possible noise at night. We were told that it was on the website that the rooms were noisy and that there were ear plugs in the room for us. We checked the website and did not see anything about that. The noise level was awful the first night and we did not sleep. I found a room at a different hotel for the second night because we could not deal with that again. We lost our money for that second night but the money spent on the second hotel was well worth it!

First the good, the location is amazing, now all the bad, the room was so stifling hot, had to open the window to be able to breathe. It was so loud from all the bars, did not get quiet until 3am. Other than a bar of soap and shampoo, zero amenities! The outlets in my room did not all work which made for a tricky situation charging my electronics. They said they would reset and fix breakers but they never did. One if the worst hotels I ever stayed!! The staff will not go out of their way at all and this hotel was not cheap by any means!!! Would never recommend or stay again!!!

Looks like it was recently refurbished, nice room, comfy bed and modern bathroom. Said on Expedia that there is luggage storage however we were unable to store our luggage at the hotel after our checkout for a couple of hours and had to store elsewhere for a (cheap) cost so that needs to be amended on the site. Didn’t ruin our stay, 15 minute walk to Temple Bar area, tesco express a couple minutes walk away in both directions and loads of nice restaurants and bars.

No frills hotel in a very loud part of town. Sits atop a nightclub and was noisy and loud music until 3-4 AM all 3 of our nights. Cigarette smoke constantly made its way up into our room. Definitely we had no idea it would be like that.

This hotel is ok for an overnight stay.we stayed two nights. Some of the fixtures need a bit of tlc. The window blind didnt work and our friends window was screwed shut so they couldnt open it, making the room very hot. The staff are all helpful. The hotel clean. Thea area is a busy main road and a club next door. Our room was at the back with the beer garden tothe club below.

A lesson was learnt on reading past reviews, boy should we have been more thorough in reviewing this Hotel! Having spent the first night with next to no sleep we discovered that a Night Club, or two, were situated very close to this Hotel. The other giveaway would have been the very bad (didn't work at all) ear plugs. The extremely cold showers were also very disappointing. However we could not fault the location, very handy.

The room had obviously been recently refurbished and was in excellent condition with plenty of power points. However the facilities were very basic and cramped, with no bedside tables, no chairs and no dressing table mirror.
