Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was very central, lots of amenities nearby and 10 mins walk to Temple Bar. Hotel and room were very new and good condition, galley for tea and coffee was unusual but worked OK as it meant you never ran out of milk or tea/coffee. Vending machine on our floor was out of order but got a lift to another floor so not too bad."
