Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
A very vibrant hotel, with a great lobby area and friendly staff. The staff was great with interactions and recommendations. Of note, they accommodated an early arrival with a heads up and still had a valuable personal item which I had accidentally left in the lobby area for me the next day.

Fantastic location Everything within walking distance or bus Love that I could open the window, no refrigerator in the room but there is a safe Everything was so clean. But one thing to perhaps update would be the shower curtain, it looked clean just a slight musty scent
