the location was convenient and near temple bar, it was an easy walk. the room was equipped with an iron and ironing board.
the bathroom had poor ergonomics with taps too close to the edge. this caused water to run everywhere, it was a design flaw. the noise from the pub next door was loud until midnight. there was also city noise late into the night.

good locationold roombad duvet
the location was good, it was close to many places.
The room felt very old and not so clean. The bathroom was not great. the bed and duvet were also quite bad, not what i expect from a hotel like this. i think the room needed a deep clean.
