In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Staff go above and beyond — Guest review after review calls out the friendliness and helpfulness of the team, from early check-in to sorting lost items during a nine-day stay.
  • Solid food and drink — The bar serves high-quality meals and the Full Irish breakfast earns particular praise. Takeaway breakfast is also an option for early starts.
  • Practical location with easy parking — On-site parking and a straightforward bus route make it handy for drivers and those arriving from the Munster area, while still being close enough to walk into the touristy areas.
  • Quiet and comfortable rooms — Rooms are described as spacious, with comfortable beds, good showers, and a peaceful outlook – some with views over the park.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not in the centre of Dublin — The hotel sits in Chapelizod, a 5-minute walk from the Liffey but a longer walk to the main tourist hubs. You'll need the bus (which guests say is regular) or a car to get right into the action.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's policy states that pets are not permitted on site, so you'll need to make other arrangements for travelling with an animal.
  • Check-in is limited to 14:00–23:00 — If you're arriving very late, there's a narrow window for check-in. The 24-hour reception does help, but you'll need to time your arrival to before 11 pm.
  • Value rating is moderate — While most guests find it good value, the Value score (8.3) is the joint-lowest rating category alongside General. It's not cheap, but the positives seem to outweight the price for many.

“We loved the takeaway breakfast – it was excellent.”

8.4Verified guest

“A peaceful, spotlessly clean hotel with great views of the park. The food was good, staff were professional and attentive to both service and cleanliness. The location is quiet and convenient, not in the heart of the tourist area, and Liffey Valley shopping centre is close by.”

8.4Verified guest

“Everything was very good – a comfortable stay, clean room, and a good breakfast. It was central to where I was working. The staff were friendly and always smiling. I would stay again.”

8.4Verified guest

“It was a lovely stay, and every staff member was kind and helpful. It makes a difference when the whole team is so willing to assist – it's the right way to run a hotel. Everything was clean and there was plenty of parking. I imagine anyone who stays would want to come back. If the price is right, people will come. Thank you for everything.”
