Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
For my purpose, the location of this hotel is very convenient. It is quite new, so everything worked impeccably. The room layout is novel - I loved it, but it may not be for everyone - check the pictures out carefully! The lobby is extremely nice and includes a full bar. I will 100% be back.

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin
The stay was absolutely beautiful! In every way. The only part that was a little sad was no hot water when showering and never refilled the coffee. However the coffe was to die for at breakfast!!!
