Highlights
Location: Steps away from Parnell Square, key attractions
Rooms: 130 comfortably appointed rooms
Dining: Old Music Shop restaurant & afternoon tea
Entertainment: Traditional Irish music every evening
“In Dublin, this is a hotel with a strong sense of place, steeped in Georgian history and offering live traditional Irish music. I think its location just north of the tourist district provides a quieter base, while still being an easy walk to major attractions. For me, the blend of period charm with practical amenities makes it a distinctive choice.”

historic charm and friendly service
distinct personalitysuper friendly stafflive musicuneven floor
I really appreciated that the hotel possesses such distinct personality. the location suited me well. It's just outside the busy tourist areas, something i found very nice. the staff were super friendly. It was easy to chat with them. the restaurant downstairs had live music, a nice surprise after a long day (i enjoyed a pint or two).
the room decor felt a bit old. the floorboards in the corridor creaked a lot, i could hear noise from other rooms, especially early in the morning.
