It is as described and the reviews are a cut. Dublin is an expensive town for hotels. I was grateful to stay in this one bedroom with two beds- it saved us monies. We were only there at night time because we were gone most of the time. Dublin is a loud and lively town so yes you can hear things on the street but it also gives you the vibe of the city and that is what I was there for- good location, would stay again. Cian is articulate and kind
