This is where to come if you like the idea of a cosy 'nest' right in the centre of the city in Dublin's most sustainable hotel, with museums, shops, pubs, restaurants and nightlife right on the doorstep. Rooms are compact, with power showers and remote control black-out blinds. The hotel has zero carbon footprint and all of the heating and energy systems are carbon neutral, with recycling, zero waste and no single-use plastics. The design of the hotel's bar and restaurant features warm, earthy colours and there is a great selection of Irish products from mini-bar treats to beers and spirits in the bar.
We loved not having to take public transport or taxis anywhere, and being on the doorstep of the city's social and nightlife.
In the heart of the city, visit the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Castle, Temple Bar and shops on Grafton Street - all within walking distance.
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 €16 per day. skyscanner.net
People who want a cosy city centre base and are also eco-conscious and want to lower their carbon footprint will enjoy staying here. There's a cosy warm feel created by light wood, lighting and plants in the design of the bar/restaurant.
There's a water machine on each floor for guests to fill their water bottles.

Our Cosy room had views over the rooftops towards Grafton Street. Rooms are quiet - you do feel cocooned, as if in a nest.
