Hotel Details

Location

Located on a tram line one block north of the River Liffey, 20 minutes' walk from Temple Bar and 10 minutes from the city centre.
The townhouse is situated at a busy crossroads with a pub opposite, a tram stop directly outside, and easy access to the airport express bus stop two blocks away. Dublin Airport is 9 km away. The National Museum of Ireland is a 5-minute walk, Jameson Distillery is 300 metres, and Dublin Castle is a 14-minute walk. St. Michan's Church and Trinity College are within walking distance. The area has many bars, restaurants, and cafés within a 2-minute walk. The Luas tram line provides direct access to the city centre and Connolly Station.

Accommodation

Adults-only, individually named rooms with private bathrooms, city views, bathrobes, streaming TV, and free Wi-Fi.
Room sizes vary; some are spacious and well-equipped with a comfortable bed and large wardrobe, while others are very small with a cramped double bed that may not suit two people. All rooms have a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, toiletries, and bathrobes. Rooms feature a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a tea and coffee maker, an electric kettle, heating, and parquet floors. Some rooms have a portable air conditioning unit. The property is older, and rooms have tall, knee-deep windows that must be curtained for privacy. Room temperatures can become very warm, and opening the window introduces street noise from trams and traffic. The building has stairs only, with no lift.

Dining

On-site Irish restaurant and bar with live music, open for dinner Wednesday to Saturday, and for breakfast/brunch on weekends and Mondays.
The Olives & Figs Bistro serves Irish cuisine for dinner from 17:00 to 21:30 Wednesday through Saturday. The pub offers a full bar and live music. Breakfast is available on weekends and Mondays at a reduced rate for guests; it includes a full Irish breakfast and vegetarian options. The bar and restaurant are closed from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday morning, so no breakfast is available on Mondays or Tuesdays. Guests receive a complimentary welcome drink at the bar. Special diet menus can be requested. The surrounding area is full of dining options within a 2-minute walk.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room away from the tram line and the pub if you are a light sleeper, as traffic and live music can be loud.

  • 02

    Plan to arrive for check-in at 16:00 precisely, as there is no reception or luggage storage before that time.

  • 03

    Book a room with a private bathroom and a larger bed if you are a couple, as some rooms have very small double beds.

  • 04

    Check whether the restaurant and bar are open during your stay, as they are closed from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday morning.
