"Just what we needed: near enough to the train station and action but away enough from the noise when we wanted to sleep. For the morning, there are 3 cafes you can almost roll out of bed into. Our room had a second twin bed, but there are a few rooms for two people as well. It even had a small fridge to keep our samples from the cheese monger and some fruit from Dunnes. Staff helped with dinner ideas (cost and quality) and making sure we were prepared for outings. Do keep in mind if you get in late that there may be people sleeping below you (helps to take off your shoes when walking on wood floors)."

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely old building with Latin Quarter literally on the doorstep. We had some reservations about noise and room size, having checked the usual review sites. But our room (overlooking Cross Street) had secondary glazing so the complimentary earplugs were not needed. The room was compact, but absolutely fine (my husband is 6'3" and he had no complaints), and was equipped with everything needed. It was thoughtfully laid out, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and attractively decorated. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the continental breakfast buffet was varied and more than sufficient to fuel us up for the day. There was a dear little book on each breakfast table, with a history of the building, which was a lovely touch. A few more plug sockets would be useful, but I guess our medieval ancestors didn't have so many devices to charge :) Would not hesitate to stay again."
