I am a Dubliner and i have drank in the hotel bar for years but decided to actually stay one night recently and i have to say the staff are excellent,very efficient (for example I asked them to call Marco Pierre Whites to book a table at 8 o clock on a Friday night,i got a table for quarter past nine!)it probably wouldnt have happened if i had called up to MPWs in person,way too busy! the bar is excellent,very FUNKY and full of the beautiful people,warning if you aint beautiful,stay away, you will stand out! the room...............hmmmmm well in fairness i was told by a friend there are different size and type rooms,we got a room you couldnt swing a cat in but still very nice and very very white but thats the luck of the draw.the mini bar is a moot point as there is a TESCO 10 yards from the hotel,just fill up there before you book in,
the "double" bed is one of those beds that zips down the middle into two single ones so that took a while to zip back up and make double again,annoying but not a huge pain.The hotel is noted for its funky interior but i have to say the bathroom is getting a little worn out,a fresh lick of paint here and there would be nice,this hotel is PARTY PARTY in the bar and on the night i was there the Party continued into the room next door,some very drunk and excited French people in the next room woke me up from a lovely sleep at 4 am,my fault really tho,being asleep in temple bar on a Friday at 4 am! my only gripe about this hotel is the PC in the lobby on the floor ,its wrecked looking,looks like an old pentium II with a panel missing on the front and just looks out of place compared to the rest of the interior,also what looked like candle wax will be noted as you walk into the lobby to your right,where i guess candles burn on the table each night, finally the location is ridiculously perfect,words fail me how handy the location is,close to everything,a pool would be nice but even that is taken care of as CRUNCH fitness has a beautiful pool/sauna/gym etc 5 yards from this hotel,its a few quid for a session but again right beside the hotel entrance.I would give this hotel 3/5 would have been 4 but the room we got was tiny : (
