It is a comfortable hotel with small but nicely decorated rooms. I found the bathroom fixtures a little old fashioned for my liking and the shower (over the bath) was in a strange position. Lack of hot water can also be frustrating.
There is a cooked to order breakfast along with continental selections available in the hotel restaurant. This room features high ceilings reminiscent of an old classroom but I didn't find it particularly inviting during winter. The rest of the hotel seem well heated. Light meals are available in the bar which has a nice atmosphere.
There is no one particular aspect of the facilities or service which would prevent me from staying there again, but being at least a 30 minute walk into the centre of Dublin it is not in the most convenient location for tourists. During winter at least you need to use the DART - Lansdowne Road station is the closest at 5 minutes walk away. There is car parking available.
Taxis into the city centre (O'Connell Street) are approximately EUR12.00.
The hotel was once a school and carries this theme throughout.
