“In my opinion, this hotel distinguishes itself with a rock 'n' roll theme and bespoke cocktail bar, setting a vibrant tone. However, some rooms may show signs of wear, which feels inconsistent with its four-star status. Its central location near Temple Bar and custom dining curated by Oliver Dunne are clear advantages.”
