Fairly cheap compared to other hotels in Dublin and staff were friendly.
Other than that there’s not a lot nice to say: room not particularly clean, rogue hairs on the bed sheets and shower head, some suspicious stains on walls, dusty surfaces, and I wish I had never made the mistake of looking under the bed (well the part that isn’t hidden by a wooden box)
In a rough area which a taxi driver informed me is one of the worst around Dublin. A lot of homeless junkies wandering around, household and commercial waste scattered on the pavements and apparently used to be famous for prostitution. “easy hotel” could be interpreted a bit differently in this context…
As a broader point I wish budget hotels would stop framing cost-cutting as being eco friendly, just be honest and say that you don’t change the towels, clean the rooms, and automatically switch off the aircon to keep overheads low rather than pretending it’s about saving the environment (which is particular laughable for a company who are primarily known as an airline)
I’ll end on a positive though, the staff did seem genuinely lovely so this isn’t a criticism of them, but a criticism aimed at the corporate and management level.
