My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms, albeit a bit expensive, offered a lovely view of the gardens, but they were not ready at the agreed check-in time. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, making it worth the price tag. The location was excellent, striking the balance between a quiet street and easy access to the main shopping and dining areas. The dining experience had its highlights, especially with fresh juice options for breakfast. Overall, a comfortable stay with room for improvement in room readiness and pricing.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were elegant, spacious, and immaculately clean, equipped with everything I needed from tea and coffee facilities to an iron and ironing board in each wardrobe. The service was exceptional, with staff going the extra mile to ensure every guest felt special. The location was ideal, situated close to major attractions like the National Art Gallery and Grafton Street. However, the dining experience could have offered more choices, and the room service prices were a bit steep.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms felt luxurious and well-appointed with beautiful linens and towels, especially the historic suites, but for the price paid, they seemed a bit dated and not entirely worth the money. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make my honeymoon special. The location was excellent, in the heart of the city, making it convenient for exploring, although it was near the busiest areas of Dublin. While the dining experience was fantastic and prompt, ordering it to the room could be rather expensive. The facilities were top-notch with everything well-maintained.
