What our customers say
This small, really well situated, wonderfully designed boutique hotel in the heart of Dublin is a real treasure! Yes, the rooms are small but they still have room for your suitcase and for you to move around a bit. What is also impressive is that everything is designed for efficiency - energy, conservation of resources, concise control of utilities (even opening and closing curtains) - all done on on a clear, small, easily understood LED panel. The hotel has a charming little restaurant where you can eat, read, use your computer, drink wine, relax and listen to music. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The staff is friendly, thoughtful, going above and beyond. The decor is bright, clean and cheerful, bed was comfortable. Trinity College is a few blocks away, as is Grafton Street and other places of interest. I recommend this hotel most enthusiastically!
Reviewer, Trip Advisor
Unique eco friendly hotel perfectly situated in temple bar. Quick walk to tons of pubs, restaurants, and amazing sites. It’s also tucked away on a quiet street making it ideal for sleeping. The service was great and the vibes were immaculate.
Kallie Rogers
Super stylish and eco friendly hotel. The location is perfect for being central in Dublin and walking to many places. Room was small for sure (but that’s what you sign up for when you stay here!) but was comfortable and clean and exactly what we needed. Also, the front desk staff are sooo friendly and helpful. We got some great info and recs from them and really appreciated it.
