Oh my goodness, we loved staying at this fantastic place. It is much bigger than it looks in the photos, the rooms are huge. And everything is new/sparkling clean - these are the cleanest windows you will ever see and they open to a great street scene. Very, very comfortable stay. Everything you could think of is here, and there are so many extra sheets, blankets and towels. We did not hear any noise from the pub below, and we stayed on a Thursday night. We ate dinner there (amazing! go for the Hake) and loved it. We ended up paying for overnight parking, but the next day decided to try to unadvertised "free" parking in the lot across the street while explored Dublin and it was just fine. If you get the chance to book Bald's place, do not hesitate! Great location to everything too.
