Great location and price. We did not use the metro so idk if the location is great for that, but if youre just planning on walking around dt Dublin, it's perfect. The hotel even had a dinner show, Celtic Nights, which was fantastic! The front desk let us check in 30 min earlier w/no fee, and when we were checking out, my friend's uber app wasn't working so they were able to call a cab for us and the cabbie actually came inside to check w/the desk (which they told us would happen - thats more of a cool perk of Dublin formality/hospitality vs a TON of cabbies who will park on the other side of the st and make you walk with your bags and some who won't even put your bags in the trunk!) If i could say anything negative about the place, it'd just be that the room was a little small but it was totally manageable and not out of our expectations - places in Europe tend to be smaller in general.
