The hotel is located near the 3Arena, making it ideal for attending events and enjoying the wellness facilities. The service was exceptional, particularly Orla at reception, who provided superb help. However, there seemed to be a shortage of staff affecting attentiveness. The dining experience was a mix of amazing dishes and slightly disappointing aspects. The hotel's soothing location near Bord Gais Theatre and wellness attractions like the pool, jacuzzi, and sauna area were highlights.

I had such a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were immaculate and had a fantastic view of the water and the Bord Gais Energy Theatre. The bed was large and the mattress comfortable, providing me with an excellent night's sleep due to the quietness and sound-proofing. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown, with limited choices on the hot plate buffet. Despite this, the service was top-notch, and the location was perfect for my trip.
