Fodor's Review:

A stone's throw from the famous shopping street that gave the hotel its name, these two, unattached Victorian Gothic-style buildings have been tastefully transformed into one of central Dublin's coolest little hotels, and one of its best bargains. The rooms vary in size, but not price, so be bold and ask for a bigger one. They have a clever, unfinished-but-very-finished look, with original wood floors, and quirky, individual touches like exposed beams. The second-floor cocktail bar has a fireplace and is destined to become a very hot Dublin spot. The understated choice of the wall art hints at the overall style. Try to get a room in the main house on Fade Street. Downstairs you'll find Hogans Bar and L'Gueuleton restaurant, both favorites of discerning locals. Pros: best value in city center; classy, underplayed design; cool cocktail bar. Cons: some rooms are cramped; located over a busy bar and restaurant; somewhat new and untested.
