In simple terms, the pictures are exactly what you get. Entrance is straight onto the middle of Smithfield Sq (bars/restaurants/supermarkets/on your doorstep). The city centre is a short walk (or take the Luas if your lazy). The guys are sound and the place is probably better value than most hotels in Dublin.
It was a bit of a working holiday too and did that from the room, place was quiet. No complaints!
