For airport transfers, the 24-hour bus number 24 from Church Street (a 3-minute walk) takes approximately one hour and costs €2.60. A taxi to the airport takes 20-30 minutes. The location is central for sightseeing and nightlife, but some street-facing rooms can be noisy until late.

Multiple pubs, cafés, and restaurants are a 3-minute walk away, including The Waterfront Cafe, Token, McGettigan's, Urbanity, Fish Shop, Dice Bar, WokeCup Cafe, and Three Young Mugs.
