...of primarily young people are being joined by others from all around the globe, all eager to partake of the spoils of the aptly named “Celtic Tiger”. ~ ~ The entertainment and service industry has had to respond in kind to cater to this new market. The last few years have seen an average of 10 new hotels every month opening their doors for custom, and the cities’ pubs and night-clubs are now the talk of Europe. ~ ~ There has always been plenty to see in Dublin, as it is an ancient city, founded back at the time of the Vikings. Indeed, there is now a Viking longship permanently harboured in the River Liffey just up from the Custom House, to remind Dubliners of their Scandinavian forebearers. It looks particularly well over the Christmas holiday period as it is all decked out in lights. ~ ~ There is enough history... Read review

Advantages: Excellent location, Lovely rooms, friendly staff.
Disadvantages: This hotel is so good you don't want to leave!

The Bedrooms have everything you need - very comfy bed, mini bar etc, 24 hour room service (room service menu is very good), and also the bathroom has the best shower! If you need anything or have any questions, the staff can't be more helpful. I have stayed in lots of hotels and have to say this hotel is definetly at the top of my list (as well as the Morrison Hotel also in Dublin). The location of the hotel is good, St Stephens Green. Very nice part of the city, close to Grafton Street for shopping. Also close to lots of good restaurants and bars.
