This was our first stay in Dublin, and we loved it! This location is great for first timers; you have everything you need in proximity including a grocery store, coffee, bars, restaurants and even a pharmacy. We made an easy trek to Trinity College, Temple Bar, etc. As others have mentioned, it could have been cleaner but not dirty by any means. Beds and pillows are firm. Also, it’s in a busier district so can be loud during the day and night. We’d definitely stay again!
