The location of this is great. Beyond that the rooms are run down. I can see this as a step up from a hostel as the rooms each have a shower. But the beds were springy and there is no AC so the snug double (which we expected) was hotter than hell and the windows open much didnt heap, but we did and for an hr every night you could hear every car that left the car park next door. Don’t eat at the pizza joint next door. Worst mistake I made the whole trip.

Accommodation was clean and tidy - however our room fob didn’t work so we couldn’t lock our door therefore we had to take all our important belongings with us when we went out and about around Dublin - we asked the staff to see if they could help but they only showed us a demonstration on how to lock the door and after I told them for the second time that it didn’t work I had to leave because our taxi was waiting and the meter was going up and the staff then went on to say not to worry and they would check the door but it was still unlocked when we got back

Good location a short walk from many key city areas. Awkward bathroom but still very usable. Would recommend the room for 1 person but we were sharing between 2 and it was too small

This room was surprisingly spartan for the expanse of this residence. there was no shampoo or soap in washroom. Small room. Overall not very good value.

Decent accommodations

Check in process was simple, and lobby always had staff on hand. The bed is somewhat uncomfortable and toiletries provided are scant, but not unreasonable for price. Overall good, not great.
