Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Really enjoyed our stay, it's much better than other hotels of the same type and price was good. Bathrooms are a bit on the small side but staff are lovely and the decor is super modern. Would recommend it for a city break

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
My check in was really nice. The front desk person was very friendly. The room was spotless. I had dinner at the hotel, a thing I normally don’t do. It was delish. The server, sorry can’t remember her name (Spanish) was just a delight. I’ll be back.
