The staff were wonderful. However, the room smelled like mildew. There was no vent in the bathroom so you could smell that the door was shut for a while with the dampness trapped in. There is no AC in the hotel so you have to keep the windows open all night. The noise on the street kept me up. This hotel has potential to be a 4 or 5 star but it needs to be updated.

Would definitely stay again
From the outside and hallways no it doesnt look great but the room was big, clean and had everything we needed. More milk tea and coffee you normally get other places. The staff were excellent .. very friendly and helpful. If you have mobility problems then no dont stay here as there are stairs and no lifts and it is loud from bar downstairs but doesnt bother me, great location ... would i stay again?? I absolutely would and will thank you

The hotel is in a good location to the shops and plenty of bars, however the outside is very run down, reception is on the 1st floor so you have to walk up stairs and then yr greated by someone with a desk and chair. Not much of a hotel reception. The room we were giving was on the 2nd floor so more stairs to climb.. they had no lift and this room was for my dad who is 75 with a stick so he had to stop a few times to catch his breath and steady himself. The room was small and basic. It was also warm but if you left the window open all you could head was the crowds of people in the bars and on the streets. Would I recommend this place .. NO. It was expensive for what you got. Very disappointed with the hotel

Not for resting
We were directly above the bar so we didn’t get much sleep all night. Once the bar closed, people were screaming outside for a solid hour. The people at reception also were not very friendly or helpful. Would recommend if you plan on staying out late

Very good location. However did not know it backs onto a bar and a night club down stairs. A bit noisy until about 3 am each night. The hotel is clean; very convenient and walking distance from everything. We liked the location. Staff were helpful and friendly and upfront about not doing service every day. I would recommend this hotel if you don’t mind the noise.

A little noisy in the evenings located next to murrays Bar. Facade outside on Parnell street was a little decreprid but deceptive. Couldnt be more wrong. Very clean and modern inside and staff very friendly and accommodating.

The check in process was quick and easy. Upon arrival was a little unsure of the neighborhood/neighboring businesses. The room amwas noisy at times from the neighbors which are pubs and clubs. The room also did not have air conditioning and was on a higher level- there was a fan provided but we had some very uncomfortable hot nights. Couldn’t open the windows because that would make the noise worse

This place was so weird i loved it. Twisty hallways only down side was no air so we did have to sleep with the window open that over looked a cool 5 bar courtyard so was a bit loud but 70inch tv drowned that out and if you are a big girl or boy their is no elevator and the shower is not meant for you but other that it was wonderful for a one night stay and i would stay again.

Awful
We were told on arrival that the hotel is above a nightclub that is open every night till 2am with loud music. This was not clear at the time we booked. No cold water in the sink. TV didn’t work. Electricians tape wrapped around wire - fire risk. Clump of hair on the carpet. I’d expect to be told about the loud music before booking. I’d expect basic amenities such as cold water & a working tv. I’d expect the place to be clean & safe. Hotel refused full refund despite the above.
