The one time I was in Dublin we stayed round the corner (or down the road) from here - it was very easy to get in and out of the city centre by public transport. Was quite jealous because this looked much nicer than our hotel. Love black pudding salad too ;-) Good review, Caroline xx by carcraig

some useful tips but I would have loved to have heard more about the hotel - lyn x by arnoldhenryrufus

"Never has so much been written by so few about so little". This restaurant is a disaster. The lack of diners and the unpleasant smell that hits you as you walk up the stairs should have been enough to make me turn away. The food was tastless and bland, the place lacks atmosphere, and the place needs a makeover. Go if you wish but at your own peril.
