“Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre has location nailed; right on O'Connell Street, you're steps from buses to the airport and easy walks to Temple Bar. I found the rooms modern and clean, though street noise could be a factor depending on the floor, ask a room on a higher floor. The included breakfast is more than adequate and overall, it's a solid value for exploring Dublin.”
