“Mcgettigan's Townhouse strikes me as a genuine Dublin experience, centered around its traditional Irish pub dating back to 1776. I like that the hotel's location, near both train stations and the Luas tram line, makes getting around the city simple. Expect uniquely decorated rooms and thoughtful touches like Bluetooth mirrors, which I find appealing.”
