Our Dublin hotel features open social spaces and is equipped with a café/restaurant and a bar on-site.

In the hotel there are a lot of facilities. Bar, bilhar.. etc Big tv in the room
Need to pay the towels. Doesn’t make any sense because you already paid the room. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in my room (401)even though in the booking they mentioned speed internet. The bed was a little bit dirty under the cover.

Make sure you contact them if you are going to check in late. Booked a stay for 2 nights on a busy weekend. Didnt go for the first night. didnt think this was a problem as booking.com had already took payment. We had the second night and it was non refundable/paid for. At 7am the next morning we were notified by email that our room had been cancelled due to our no show and also debited more than that the amount for our original stay on booking.com. There was no attempt by the establishment to contact us before cancelling the booking that had been paid for. We contacted them at this time, 7am. They initially said no problem they can re instate it. A couple of hours later they said they couldnt were unable to reverse this as had already let it out (this was 7am that morning!). They informed us they would refund us. They did however as booking.com had already took payment as well as them that day we are still out of pocket. Generator also took a larger payment than the price we paid on booking.com. Generator would also not cancel our other booking that was impacted due to this. Summary - Generator saw an opportunity to cash in. Very disapointed. used our card to take extra payment even though booking.com had already done this.
