Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
For my purpose, the location of this hotel is very convenient. It is quite new, so everything worked impeccably. The room layout is novel - I loved it, but it may not be for everyone - check the pictures out carefully! The lobby is extremely nice and includes a full bar. I will 100% be back.
