There are some 63 rooms in total, all serviced by lifts. You’ll get the usual single, double and triple rooms, each with its own en suite. They're fairly spacious rooms with light wooden furniture, large comfortable beds and cream walls. You’ll get a decent range of amenities; in each room there’s a TV with cable, a telephone, coffee and tea making facilities, electronic door locks and Internet access (though you’ll have to pay extra for this). All rooms also have air-conditioning which is handy in the summer, though Dublin wouldn’t get too hot even in peak season. There’s also a hairdryer and if you ask at reception they’ll give you an iron so you’ve no excuse for not looking well groomed.

Each of the rooms has a large window which opens out to give decent views of the Dublin streetscapes - from many of them you can see Dublin Castle. You can request smoking rooms at reception as well as a cot if you have youngsters in tow (the hotel also offers baby sitting services if you fancy a night on the town without the kids).
