Reality check

- You are attending an event at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD)
- You prefer a modern, predictable hotel over quirky B&Bs
- You want to be near the 3Arena or EPIC Museum

Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'Pavilion Pantry' in the lobby sells snacks and drinks 24/7 at a markup—walk 2 mins to the Spar or Marks & Spencer in the IFSC for better prices.
- ✨
Use the Luas (tram) stop 'George's Dock' right behind the hotel to zip into the city center if it's raining.
- ✨
The lobby bar is decent, but Urban Brewing in the CHQ building next door has far better atmosphere and craft beers.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during the morning rush hour.
💡You can watch the Jeanie Johnston famine ship directly from the river-view rooms.
💡The 'gym' is functional but tiny—go during off-peak hours or run along the Liffey instead.
💡Housekeeping sometimes misses dusting the top of the wardrobe or behind the nightstand.
💡The hotel is in the financial district, meaning the immediate area is buzzing weekdays but can feel a bit dead on Sunday nights.
