Does the Job
Fair location and a comfortable bed. Bit of a wait for bathrooms but the facilities were fine. Two plugs at the beds was good but could do with a basket or shelf to organise what was being charged, put glasses in etc.

Ok - not great for parking
Great stay. Problem is using the car park. They say you should ring a number to get out (once you’ve paid) however when we were in a hurry to get out and called the number they had no recollection of a code to get out. Reception should just give the code out to people who pay for the car parking option

This was a great place if you’re looking for somewhere quiet to stay. The surrounding area is very quaint and an awesome place to walk around. I felt safe as a female solo traveler. Public transportation is close by and the front desk was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

2 tiny shared bathrooms, 1 large handicap bathroom for 16 people. Storage cage under the bed was small and inconvenient. Building location was adequate, you had to walk about 20ish minutes to the city center for all the restaurants, attractions, shopping. Overall, was a little cramped and disliked the bathroom situation but would stay again. They did pretty well with their facility cleanliness.

I did not stay at this property because I could not find the property. The GPS directions were wrong. I tried calling the phone number that Expedia provided for the property and it was the wrong phone. There was NO address provided on the reservation confirmation. When I did a google search of the property name, I finally connected with the After Hours reception and received the property address. The location is in Dublin’s city centre in a neighborhood that only had street parking. I did not trust that the car rental would be safe parked in the street. Therefore, I ended up not staying at this property.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay in our private room! It was exceptionally clean with towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, water, and tea/coffee in the room. We had plenty of space and the staff was incredibly kind. There were plenty of clean bathrooms so we never had to wait in lines despite being shared. We only stayed one night, but would have stayed more if we were in town longer!

The proximity of the property to downtown Dublin is unbeatable. Being located between the Guinness Storehouse and the Temple Bar made walking a breeze. The parking was extremely secure and I felt comfortable leaving my rental car. My only issue was exiting the locked car park early in the morning. I was given a number to call if I left before 10am to open the gate. They were helpful, but it still took ~20 minutes before I could get out of the car park.
