"Attractive riverside hotel... Stylish and well-run."
Concierge
"Unforgivably at these rates, service can falter, veering madly from friendly-polite all the way down to rude."
Insight Guides
"City-centre, riverside location, backing onto Temple Bar. The Art Deco interior has been lovingly restored by new owners (who include U2)."
Lonely Planet
"A handsome boutique hotel designed to reflect the aesthetic of a 1930s gentlemen's club."
