Great location if you want to stay in a neighborhood and then have easy transportation to the tourist sites. Ballsbridge is a really nice area. British Embassy airlink stop is best if you fly into Dublin. Herbert Park is very close and has a beautiful pond that you can lap a few times for a run or walk. The coffee bar at the Clayton Hotel is close enough that drinks are still hot when you get home. Check out The Bridge and Paddy Cullen’s for some local flavor. Great spot!!!
