    The room was microscopic, barely suitable for one person. Way too small. Only adequate for sleeping.

    Lovely hotel qith a very cozy and trendy decoration. Excellent location, in the middle of downtown and tourist attractions. Lots of things to do nearby.

    You can only get out of bed on one side which meant one of us had to climb over the other to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Not convenient.

    The staff was helpful and the breakfast was great. The shower was exceptional--lots of hot water and terrific water pressure. I like that the toilet and shower are separate.

    Sometimes, the water was coming in spurts, or pressure was low, and water was not available. Floor was a bit sticky when we moved in. We were a bit confused about the light system and how to keep the aircondiioner on while sleeping.

    The staff were very helpful. The location is perfect. Excellent advice about aircoach to Dublin airport. We appreciated being able to store our bags on the last day.

    Very clean, cosy, efficient use of space, great location, parking nearby, would stay again

    The rooms are small and because of the positioning of the bed, the person sleeping at the window may have trouble getting out of bed.

    The hotel was very clean and the rooms were well designed to make the most of the space. There modern and eco friendly touches such as the intelligent control modules. We didn't spend much time in the lobby and restaurant area but they looked nice. Location wise it was right in the heart of Dublin, we walked everywhere from the hotel even though we had a rental car. Parking was nearby and the hotel provided a discount at a specific garage (make sure you ask which one) so parking was very reasonable. Staff was always friendly and professional. I was hesitant to stay at first because some reviews mentioned the rooms were very small but Adam assured us there should be space for two adults, 2 carry-on suitcases and 2 backpacks and he was right. We were glad we chose this hotel and highly recommend it if you don't have lots of luggage. The room was a good size for us and we never felt cramped. We liked that the toilet and sink were in a separate space from the shower. Both spaces were quite large in comparison to other places we stayed.

    Disclaimer: the hotel is really great and the following comments are purely meant to help travellers managing their expectations. - Make sure you are space aware when you book your rooms. The snug I booked (deliberately and being well aware of how super tiny it was) doesn't fit a big luggage open and barely a hand luggage open (you'll need to close it and keep it closed to avoid bumping into it). - Unfortunately Dublin has shocked me for the amount of homeless people and the immense crowds of "happy" people in the nearby pubs. Unfortunately someone belonging to one of these categories of people thinks that using the hotel street as a toilet for large "deposits" almost daily is a good idea - that was unpleasant and maybe the hotel could invest in some form of security to keep an eye to the lane, that would give guests some extra comfort and safety

    Staff really is the gem of this hotel! Everyone from reception to restaurant to housekeeping has been exceptionally kind and professional. Breakfast is great, full fry up and plenty of sweet options too. Room is as described, bathroom bigger than expected for the snug room. Location is excellent - I was travelling for business but wanted to stay near the centre. Despite Dublin is one of the busiest cities I've ever seen, with super crowded pu s and streets until very late at night, the hotel was super quiet!

    The rooms are quite small and because of the positioning of the bed, the person sleeping at the window has trouble getting out of bed. Also not that much space to open larger luggage although the rooms do have nooks and crannies to stow things during longer stays.

    A nice and cosy eco-hotel in Central Dublin, close to pubs and shops but in a quiet corner. Staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was good and varied.

    The rooms have been designed very well to make the most of the space, decor was lovely and there lots of modern and eco friendly touches which made it stand out.

Location wise it was right in the heart of Dublin, we walked everywhere from here. Great value for money. Staff always lovely. So glad we chose this hotel, Would highly recommend. Don't let the look of the small rooms put you off. They're still a good size for a couple. Never felt cramped, so long as you don't have a tonne of luggage.

    A room is smart but very small. That is fine per one person but is quite tiny per two people. There is no wardrobe and could be good to have at least a shelf for clothes. We couldn't unpack our bags for the that reason.

    Location is great right in the city centre, friendly and helpful stuff, very comfortable bed, good shower.

    There is no parking available, but plenty very nearby although quite expensive (15 euro overnight / 20 euro 24 hrs).

    This is a very well located Hotel for the city centre and cultural sights. The rooms are well appointed and very modern - we were 'upgraded' to one with single beds to give us more space but the standard double (Snug Nest) was good too, although limited in space. The breakfast was extensive and varied and the general eating/relaxing area was nicely appointed and quiet.
