excellent locationclean bedroombus access
The location is excellent for accessing nearby attractions. The hotel is a short walk from the Aviva Stadium. C1 and C2 buses stop directly outside, going to Heuston Station (a handy connection for exploring further). The bedroom and bathroom were both very clean and well kept.
The coffee and tea facilities in the room were fairly basic.
