Our stay was pretty good. The bed wasn't that great, no lamps in the bedroom, but otherwise doable. The view out the back was nice with the river directly below. It was a short walk to some good food and public transportation. (I highly recommend the hop on hop off bus if you've never been to Dublin before). For some it's a nice walk to the Gaol, Pheonix Park, and the Heuston Train Station. We did the Gaol, but it was a bit far for us)
