I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The recently refurbished room I stayed in was comfortable and surpassed my expectations. The atmosphere seemed to cater well to different guest preferences, with a lively section for young party-goers and quiet rooms for mature couples overlooking Herbert Park.

The hotel's location in Ballsbridge is perfect - a lovely Dublin suburb offering a quiet retreat that's still within easy reach of the city center by a short taxi or bus ride. Being near the Aviva stadium and surrounded by parks and canals, it's a great spot with easy access to restaurants and city attractions.
Dining

The dining experience was a bit overpriced for what was offered. I opted to have food brought back to the hotel to enjoy in the 'business centre', but felt that more local ingredients could have enhanced the meals. If you're looking for value, you might consider dining elsewhere or skipping the hotel breakfast.
Facilities
The facilities were good overall, with options like room service and laundry available. However, I found the dining prices a bit steep compared to what was offered.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were fantastic, but I had a camp bed instead of a proper bed, making it quite uncomfortable. The noise from the building work outside and the rattling pipes were irritating, even though the room had some nice amenities like robes and a fancy coffee machine. The service was a bit noisy along the corridor, but the staff were delightful and very helpful when I left my air pods behind. The location in Ballsbridge was excellent, with easy access to Dublin City Centre, although the area was undergoing construction, causing disturbances. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice and very clean with a wraparound balcony overlooking the Aviva Stadium and the quaint Ballsbridge village. The central location made it super convenient to access a variety of delightful restaurants. However, the lack of adequate seating and table space was a bit of an inconvenience, and the rooms could benefit from some updating.
