Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
The room was large and really funky - I loved the guitar amp! The hotel is a little away from the busy area which means it’s quieter overnight but close enough to make a quick wander back after an evening in the city. Everything was clean and the staff were great. I had never stayed at a Ruby hotel ...
