A pint of Guinness at its source is practically mandatory, with the Storehouse tour ending at a rooftop bar with panoramic city views. Trinity College houses the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript that makes modern graphic designers weep with inadequacy. St. Stephen's Green offers respite from Dublin's famously changeable weather, which locals discuss with the detailed analysis normally reserved for sports teams.

8/10 Good
"The location is perfect if you are wanting to be in the heart of the city! Transportation is easily accessible. Many wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and pubs within short walking distance. Staff very helpful. Laundry facilities were a bonus! We did laundry mid week so we were able to just bring a carryon! The kitchenette was a great asset. We bought some groceries from the Tesco down the street. We were able to cook in the room. Which saves a bit of Euros! We loved J.McNeill Pub! It was right around the corner. The live music was top notch! We used the Dublin Express to get to and from the downtown area. The transportation was very easy to navigate with the help of google. We bought the Leap cards and used them for payments for using the transit "
