The location of this hotel is very convenient for being on the Dublin Express and also near the train station. The place has some charm and style, if a little noisy from the roads on both sides. Still worth a stop.

Hotel was clean and tidy, and a high standard. The heat inside the room was unbearable and couldnt sleep, the expected noise outside (location) meant the window couldn't be opened to allow any airflow,
