It's a great great hotel for a shopping trip to Dublin, a 15 min walk to the centre but don't forget the bus stop just round the corner!

I loved the fact that we could go a few doors down to a nice grocery store, pharmacy, and a few really reasonably priced and non-touristy restaurants.

There are plenty of small shops, including a small Tesco and Spar, coffee bars, pubs and eating places in the vicinity.

The bar/lounge in the hotel is fairly souless (especially for Ireland) but there's plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and bars 100 yards round the corner on Baggot Stree.
