This is a trendy, boutique-style hotel in the upmarket suburb of Ranelagh, a neighbourhood which is known for a great selection of pubs and restaurants and is around 15 minutes from the city by car. There are 40 cosy guest rooms, which are comfortable and well-equipped with a mini bar of drinks and snacks and lots of convenient gadgets. The Americana cocktail bar on the ground floor is a large, bright space with an excellent cocktail and tapas menu, and Layla's rooftop restaurant has a classic Italian menu, a great selection of wines and cocktails and good views of the surrounding rooftops. There's a coffee hatch, and guests can also book in to see movies in the comfortable Stella Cinema in the basement, which has its own bar.
Step out of the hotel's door into Ranelagh village and have access to many great pubs and restaurants.
It's a short walk to Rathmines, where you'll find the shops, art galleries and cafés. A 20-minute stroll north will take you to St Stephen's Green and the city centre.
By plane: direct flights to Dublin from Manchester and Birmingham (1 hour), and London (1 hour 15 minutes). It's a 30-minute drive to the hotel. Parking costs €15 per night. skyscanner.net
People who like fun, art, good food, cocktails, a movie night and a comfortable sleep - or locals on a night out - will enjoy staying here. We loved the colourful art and the stylish rooftop restaurant, with views of the surrounding low-rise buildings and distant mountains.
Rooms are very well equipped; there is a speaker, kettle, Nespresso machine, hot water bottle, clothing steamer and hairdryer in the room.

The standard Double room was compact, extremely comfortable, well-equipped and had nice views. We liked the picture windows at the end of corridors and appreciated the extra touches in the room: interesting magazines to read, snacks and toiletries for sale and a clothing steamer.
