Reviews
The location is ideal - close to the city centre, yet calm and relaxing. We would also like to compliment the excellent staff, especially Filip Zic, who was particularly friendly and helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
We had only one lift working for the first day or so and the call buttons on the upper floors for the lifts weren't working for a couple of days either which was a pain when you're on the 7th floor!
It was either a case of walking down or calling reception and they'll send the lift up to your floor. Hopefully that's been fixed by now.
It was a 20 minute walk from Temple Bar as well so nice and close.
The bar was good and there's a restaurant in the hotel as well.
I would happily stay here again for family trips or another business trip.
