“I think it's the thoughtful details that set this hotel apart-the fairy tale themed rooms and gin and tea room create an atmosphere distinctly its own. The garden terrace offers a rare tranquility, while still being a short walk from St. Stephen's Green. The personalized service seems to anticipate every need.”

lovely stay at the hotel

central location comfortable bed accommodating staff
the location was great, central yet quiet. the room had nice decorations, and the bed felt very comfortable. the staff were helpful and always accommodating to my needs. i found the bar and café to be enjoyable spaces for a quick drink (or a relaxed afternoon tea).
the room was slightly smaller than i had expected for the price i paid. it still had everything i needed, but extra space would have been welcome. i think a bit more attention to room size could enhance the experience.

small room useless fridge
the location was acceptable for exploring the city.
the room was far too small for the price paid. the fridge only worked when the key card was in the slot, so i couldn't keep anything cold. even when i left a card in, housekeeping removed it, rendering the fridge useless.

charming stay!

quiet street immaculate building red brick
I enjoyed the quiet street location just outside the city. the building is immaculately kept. The red brick exterior looked amazing! my room was very comfortable. It had everything i needed.
The lunch and dinner menus were more lite bites. I needed to go to nearby restaurants for a more substantial meal.
