Stayed here New Year's night 2010 in middle of severe front and snow. Roads and pavements outside were virtually impassable, no taxis were running so therefore spent quite a lot of time in the hotel. Not my first visit so knew what to expect, but if you're going to be stuck indoors, its a good place to be. Good sized rooms well-heated, spacious public areas,a large bar area, very helpful and friendly staff. Concierge even fetched boiling water to defrost car.
Ordinarily, it is also a decent place to stay in a good area, Ballsbridge, just outside Dublin city centre, very convenient for the new Lansdowne Road rugby ground, soon to re-open, for instance.
A short taxi ride into town (there's usually a rank outside), a bus stop, too, just outside the main gate or, in good weather, a 15 minute walk to O'Connell Street, St Stephen's Green and Temple Bar.
In better weather, too, there are excellent nearby restaurants, notably the Canal Bank Cafe, 3-4 minutes city centre direction and Furama, a Chinese/Asian, about 10 minutes the other way.
Another bonus is the excellent rates to be had on sites like lastminute.com, much cheaper than the hotel site... up to 30 per cent cheaper.
