This is a small hotel on a residential street, not the most common location for a hotel anymore. However, the Maples has been in business here for quite some time - the grandparents of my drinking partner for this evenings visits had their wedding reception here in the 1950s. The hotel is capable of hosting civil weddings and appears to be quite competitive price-wise, should anyone want to have their own there.
The bar is a fairly generic hotel bar that feels like it is probably also the breakfast room. There was no real atmosphere to speak of for a Friday evening, but there does appear to be a cohort of local regulars as well as any guests eating or drinking there. Some of the smaller hotels in Dublin only hold a residents bar licence, however a full licence is in place here - meaning you do not need to be a resident. Not that that requirement dissuades a few of the residents bar licence holders around!
