Great location at a good price, 2 mins walk from Ha'penny Bridge and O'Connell street, where the airport bus will drop you. Ten-minute walk to Trinity and Grafton Street. The Luas tram passes through Abbey street on its way to Hueston station. Arnotts Department Store is just across the street.
Abbey Hotel is situated above Mojo's Bar and restaurant, great pub food and á la carte. Breakfast is full Irish breakfast including hash, black and white pudding, an excellent way to start the day.
The rooms are on 4 floors and there is a lift. Rooms are not very spacious, but there is enough room to walk about for two persons at the same time. Complementary tea, coffee and biscuits are very welcome after seeing Dublin's sights.
We booked through www.irelandhotels.com and found that their prices are better than walk-in prices. we paid for a twin €82 (2007) walk-in price was €150.
