Apolonia, Apr 2019

Pros. The location is great . Close to shops and restaurants.

Cons. They had a fire alarm test while we were sleeping and we were scared running downstairs to find out it was a test and they did not let us know in advance. I found that really bad specially as i am at end of pregnancy.

Pros. Location. Amazing location. The bus 747 from the airport stops right in front of the hotel.

Cons. You cannot change it now...but the rooms are tiny and shower cabins are super tiny. A heavier-set person might have issues getting into the cabin.

Anonymous, Jun 2015

Pros. The staff throughout our stay were GREAT! Friendly, helpful, and polite, we were treated very well. The location is great for going out, just a short walk to Temple Bar.

Cons. The rooms are tiny. We were a bit cramped both in the main area as well as the bathroom. Smokers hang out just outside of the main lobby doors so you're forced to walk through a cloud of smoke on your way in and out of the hotel. Very unpleasant!
