A perfectly located, wonderfully staffed hotel in the center of Dublin. The people at the reception desk could not have been nicer or more helpful, and one morning at the breakfast buffet, when I openly warned the lack of homemade brown bread, one of the cooks heard that and rushed to get me a few slices that were left from the day before. Still delicious.
