The hotel is situated in a lively area close to the city center, Trinity College, and other major attractions, making it very convenient for exploring the city. The rooms are cleaned daily and accessed with key cards but lack air conditioning, leading to stuffy conditions. The service is friendly and helpful, reflecting the warmth of French hospitality. However, the noise from nearby pubs can be quite disruptive, especially late at night, and may impact your sleep quality.

The rooms are cleaned daily and unlocked with key cards, but the lack of air conditioning can make them too warm. It's advisable to choose a room away from noisy pubs for better rest.

The hotel's location is right in the heart of the action, close to the city center, Trinity College, the Castle, and the river. While the proximity is fantastic for sightseeing, the noise levels from the street and nearby pubs, especially with single-glazed windows, can be bothersome, lasting until the early hours of the morning. Be cautious with room choice to avoid disturbance.

The dining experience is generally good, but there were issues with clarity on pricing for various options. Breakfast was excellent quality overall, yet some aspects were confusing. It's recommended to clarify prices beforehand to avoid any surprises.

The facilities include a bar area next to the breakfast seating and a restaurant above, offering a variety of choices. However, improvements in room amenities, especially air cooling systems, would enhance the overall guest experience.

However, the noise from the street was a downside, but they provided free earplugs in the room.

The hotel had very dated decor in the rooms, with the bed sunken in the middle and the bathroom in need of a major makeover. However, despite the issues, the room was lovely and warm, which was just what we needed for our stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean but barely met a 2-star quality, and the noise level was unbelievably high. Additionally, the room felt drafty, making us think the window was left open.
