the place was clean and fresh but hairdryer was broken and the pillows were very thin and you couldnt adjust the shower head the staff were very helpful and is very central to town

This was a brillant location, within easy walking distance for everything. Hotel is very clean and the patio area is very pleasant. Staff were very helpful and very pleasant. Breakfast was good. Will definitely be staying here again. The only downfall is the noise at the front of hotel but other than that the overall stay was very pleasant!

Enjoyed our 2 night stay at hotel. Very central location, ideal for exploring Dublin. Able to walk eveywhere. Hotel room was very clean and as expected. Breakfast was excellent. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Only slight drawback was the noise at night. Our room overlooked the street and it was noisy mainly as it was a Saturday night. Guests arriving late at night are less than considerate by banging their room doors. Also street cleaner started at 6.30am Sunday and Monday, which was again noisy. Apart from that, a good hotel.

We stayed for one night when we were attending the celine Dion concert at Croke Park 30/05/08. The hotel location was excellent for us being within an easy stroll to O`Connell Street and all the public transport links which made returning to the airport an effortless stressfree experience. The hotel room was quite compact but was very clean and had everything we would have expected including tea making facilities and a spotless pleasant bathroom with a lovely roomy shower. The hotel staff couldn`t do enough for you. The reception staff were cheery , friendly and polite and the breakfast room also had very attentive staff. The standard of the food was high. I would definately stay here again as it was good value for money.

Room small but adequate,but well equiped,very clean.Bit noisey,but we did have the window open.

Room was a bit on the small side but over all clean & tidy with a good shower & a choice of breakfast with friendly and helpful staff would have no problem staying with you again

The Hotel was very clean and the staff were really nice and helpfull.

great hotel for dublin on a budget. good location, friendly staff pleasant stay.

GOOD BITS Rooms were clean & adequate, nice outdoor garden area BAD BITS don`t have a room on the front next to the street if you want sleep, room 208 window broken so couldn`t shut it, even in the week very noisey with drunks, road cleaners, delivery vans etc, moved to back of hotel room 220 & room smaller but adequate and quiet!! Breakfast OK but overpriced, & not got half the things on menu. Would go out for breakfast. Staff OK but not locals and had limited english when not talking about the basics. DUBLIN is very expensive 5.25euro for a pint of guinness! Be prepared to spend!

clean and tidy rooms ,good service although rooms a liitle small

This is an above average budget hotel situated in the busy Talbot Street, polite and friendly staff and adequate facilities for an enjoyable short break. Our room faced onto Talbot street which had a large window to enable us to soak up the atmosphere of the city, although this could be noisy at times and the hotel does not benefit from air conditioning in the rooms. We would consider returning to this venue when we come back to Dublin in the near future!

Very clean room and bathroom, lovely shower with very hot water. Breakfast good. Staff very pleasant and helpful, however the room was a little smaller than I had imagined and the hair dryer supplied in the room has a 2 pin plug, which meant I was unable to use it! We also had problems with the safe, which we were unable to open having tested it, fortunately we hadn`t put anything in before testing the code we had agreed on.

Stayed in what they called a double room. If you had a suitcase you would have to leave it outside otherwise you would be climbing over it to move in the room. No hooks to hang coats. Room very hot.

Clean but very small rooms

Room small no bath breakfast not full irish

Great location close to shopping, Temple Bar area, bus routes & trams. Rooms clean tidy and well equipped, staff pleasant & helpful.

Rooms a little small, but kept clean.

Rooms small but very clean. Nice white bed linen and towels. Breakfast very good.

Room 218 was on the top floor at the back so a rubbish view but very quiet. A room at the front may have been a different matter. The king sized bed gave a comfortable sleep and the room had everything we needed. They will supply complimentary extras such as toothbrush/paste, comb, deodorant, shaving kit upon request. Free newspapers, very helpful staff. Others have said the rooms are a bit small but. hey, you are right in the centre of the city only 2 minutes from the new Spire in O`Connell Street. The Polish room maid refused my tip, "It`s my job"! Breakfast is VERY substantial. I would definitely stay there again if I could have the same room.

Lovely clean room. Delicious breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

the wife and wanted somewhere of good location and we could not fault it. the room was very clean and tidy. would not hesitate to book again

Third time we have stayed here when visiting Dublin,Although a room at back of hotel would have been preferred because of street noise below. (Maybe next time !)Breakfast was more than enough to set you up for the day.Staff were very helpful. Ideal base to explore the city.

the hotel was very well situated a short walk from temple bar, and shops. Breakfast was good too.

Greta location, central to the sights AND easy to get to from Airport

Basic but good accommadation,with really good airport bus link near by. Staff well informed and most helpful

excellent staff fwho were riendly and helpful at all times - room clean and comfortable- food of a very good standard - fresh and tasty - excellent location for getting in and around Dublin-would definately use again and wiil reccomrd it to frriends and faimliy . After a rcouple of recent and very dissapointing stay s in holtes -one at one of the Hilton hotels in London we had lost faith in hotels and decided just to use travel lodges it was really nice to stay at a hotel thatt was good value for money with helfpul staff and clean rooms - we will be checking out your other hotels on future breakes that we take- please extend our thanks to all the staff - even the male `chambermaid` was polite and helpful- for making our stay in Dublin such a pleasant experience.

good breakfast-excellent staff-poor shower net curtains should be replaced enjoyed stay

Bedrooms clean and comfortable. Breakfast -enjoyable and good quality Staff -pleasant and extremely helpful Bedrooms - clean and comfortable Breakfast - tasty and enjoyable

Nice budget hotel in a convenient location. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Only issue was the noise. We were facing the street and it was very noisy at night with people walking past singiing and shouting. Also, there was a bit of an issue when one member of the reception team agreed a late check out with us and didn`t tell anyone.

The room was clean and basic but very small good for a weekend break if your not planning to be in your room for long

excellent location, good breakfast,friendly staff. Unfortunatley our stay was spoilt by noise,1) other guests slamming doors in the early hours of the morning,2) a boiler(or something else)immediatly above our room(309) constantly running all night.

This is a great hotel if you want a good clean basic friendly little hotel if you want to be in a central location to explore Dublin at a budget price. The rooms are small but clean and compact and had our towels changed daily (stayed 3 nights). The breakfast was nice and the staff helpful, polite and friendly. Very close to the legend that is TEMPLE BAR, it is paradise for pubgoers, didn`t find the hotel particularly noisy for a city centre in the party capital of the world. Would recommend it to all, if you want luxury and to spend all day and night in the hotel then its not the place for you but it is for sure a fab place for a little break it a great city for a bit of a party within short walking distance of all amenities. Wish I could have stayed longer. xx

Lovely little place within walking distance of anywhere you need to go. Staff chatty and friendly. Some pleasant outdoor spaces to sit. Breakfasts substantial. Rooms clean and airy. Would go again.
