- Fast wifi

Bad
- Nothing, except perhaps that it is a pity that the hotel has no bike to be rented (you can rent bikes at shared bike stations, but the closest station is pretty far from the hotel).

Value for $ or IHG Rewars Club Points? Would you return?
Yes, definitely.
The hotel is not in the very centre of Dublin, but you can reach it in less than 20 minutes walk.
Bus stop just next the hotel. Taxi ride is less than EUR 10 from city centre
Taxi drive to the airport with Uber is EUR 40
