Very disappointed. Very small and cramped hotel. Bedroom overlooking (filthy) alleyway. very noisy at times at night and early morning. The so called newly refurbished Bar was a small room with a tiny bar on the first floor and no sign of life or any sort of draft beer. Limited drinks had to be got in the small cramped italian resaturant downstairs which was attached to the hotel. Overall very poor and would not stay there again....... and where are all the irish people working as from what i saw in the hotel and most of the places we visited in Dublin (Bars, Shops and other hotels it looks like they have all emigrated or are unemployed).
