excellent temple bar stay

central location double-paned windows easy check-in discounted parking
the location was central, i walked to all attractions, shops, and restaurants. the double-paned windows worked well, yet i used a sound machine at night. self check-in was very easy and the contact with the hotel staff was responsive. i was happy with the discounted parking rate of 21 euros per day.
I would have liked more espresso pods in the room, because i drink a lot of coffee. That would have been awesome

mixed experience, some issues encountered

unsecured bag drop off building instruction
the location is really prime for walking around.
i found it hard to get clear instructions on how to enter the building. it felt overpriced for what it offered, it wasn't exactly luxurious. bag drop off was unsecured in the hallway, made me nervous.
