The Morgan, Dublin

Advantages: An excellent hotel
Disadvantages: Outside noise from revellers disturbs sleep

...INTRODUCTION My wife and I agreed that our next holiday would be in Prague. But after the events of September 11th I did not want a long flight so we agreed to a 5-day stay in Dublin. My parents have this stupid habit of visiting our flat when we are on holiday. This means that they can go through all our documents eg bank statements in the flat without being disturbed. But as my parents are currently in India we went to Dublin without them knowing about it. We booked the trip via British Airways Holidays.

In fact, the front entrance to the Morgan is so small and discreet that if you happen to blink as you walk past, you’d probably miss it. ~ ~ This is cosmopolitan living of the highest standard. Each of the Morgan’s 61 en-suite bedrooms are individually furnished in ultra-modern fashion... Read review
