Leeson Inn Downtown

The room was exactly as described. It was small, as all European hotel rooms are compared to the US, but it was comfortable and warm. The bed was comfortable, and the pillows were ample. The bedding was super clean and soft. The bathroom was small but modern. We had everything we needed. The supplies in the main lobby were useful, especially the bottles of water and the adapters for plugs. I would recommend to them to update the adapters to the "C" cable for charging up phones. The newer phones don't have a usb cord. Also, the TV was not a "Smart" TV, so you need an additional device to use streaming services. The location was spectacular. Many buses, including the express bus to the airport stopped on the same block as the hotel. There was a coffee shop and a restaurant on the same corner. It was walking distance to many places for tourists, including the park, the museums, shopping, Grafton Street, pubs, restaurants and tour groups. If you don't enjoy walking the bus is right there to take you all the way through the tourist areas. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. They went over and above to make sure we had the best time. The area is very quiet. I had heard there were loud parties on the weekend, but I was on the first floor with the window open and did not have trouble with the noise. There are not many traffic noises either. I would definitely stay here again. The check in and check out were so easy. The code to get in and get out is a fantastic idea, no key cards to lose. I felt very safe all the time, even coming back after dark. It is an excellent city to visit, lots to do and not too expensive by NYC standards. There is a lot of variety, and it is a diverse city. They accommodate all types of people. And they are very environmentally conscious. I can't wait to come back again!

Good accommodation in a very good location. Really good value for money although would like to see some water in the room as well as the coffee and tea. Very close to St. Stephens Green and Grafton Street plus the must visit pubs in Baggott Street.

Staff propped open all the fire doors serving the staircase which are critical for life safety. The doors clearly state 'fire door keep shut'. Real safety hazard as sleeping occupants may become trapped in their rooms in the event of a fire given there is only a single staircase escape route.
