Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Parking is difficult — Guests report nightmare parking situations at night, with several lots full or closed. Staff have given conflicting advice, so plan ahead if you drive.
- No in-room tea or coffee facilities — Some rooms lack a kettle or coffee maker, which is a common expectation in this class. You can still get coffee from the bar or breakfast.
- Low facilities rating — The facilities category scores 7.2 out of 10, suggesting the shared spaces or hardware may not match the quality of the rooms and service.
- Shower privacy can be awkward — At least one guest felt the shower design offered limited privacy, which could be a consideration for some travellers.

8.9Verified guest“A lovely stay overall — the friendly staff made me feel at home, and the room was clean and comfy. The Marshall speaker and flat-screen TV were nice extras, and the bar area had a calm atmosphere. Breakfast was good, with a nice selection of breads.”
8.9Verified guest“Staff were friendly, the vibe is modern, and the location is excellent. A free cocktail for Christmas and a cool Bluetooth amp — plus a guitar you can borrow — really added to the stay.”
8.9Verified guest“Great location, with main sights just a short walk away. The staff were friendly, but a few service hiccups took the edge off. Still, it was a quiet, comfortable stay that worked well for families.”
8.9Verified guest“Parking was a real struggle — we drove around at midnight and tried five different lots before finding one open. It was frustrating, and the staff didn't have solid info on parking options. Not the best start, but the hotel itself was fine.”
8.9Verified guest“I really enjoyed Ruby Molly — the design is modern, everything was spotless, and the welcome cocktail was a lovely gesture. The room was cozy, though the shower privacy was a bit awkward. Would still recommend it.”
8.9Verified guest“Perfect spot, just a short walk to Temple Bar. Breakfast was a highlight, but the pillows were a bit too big for me. Overall, I'd recommend it.”
