Beautiful old hotel. Great location. Very nice staff. First red flag when Dublin resident/cab driver mentioned we were lucky to check in on a Sunday night as the clubs on Harcourt Street and the next street over (open until 6:00am) were the noisiest in Dublin. As it turns out, they're bustling every night of the week. We stayed on the 4th floor and tried to block noise by closing windows, but with no air conditioning (old bldg.) it was stifling. We listened to the party down below in the street until about 5:00am, then the loud garbage trucks arrive to clean up. Very unfortunate as the location is perfect, hotel is very nice, and the staff is very helpful. Evidently, there are on-going legal fights regarding the all night clubs and the surrounding hotels and apartments.
