The room was clean and newly redone. However, I did not know it had no reception which caused issues in getting my delayed luggage delivered. The hallway smelled like sewage. It was truly disgusting. My room fridge was warm and I couldn’t adjust it so my leftovers spoiled. Housekeeping is upon request only.

About 2 and half stars. Quite expensive but clean
Room was ok. Very clean. Kettle, coffee machine, iron, hair dryer, towels etc. Not a lot of space. TV doesn’t work properly. No staff on the premises and no reply to an email request for information.

This is not a hotel- it’s basically a room to rent with no physical welcome or service and no included room cleaning. Virtual check in was efficient but the room was tiny, barely room to get around the bed and the only basin was right by the bed, not in the tiny space that held the shower and loo. Literally no space to put suitcase except across the door - not ideal if emergency exit required. Very very disappointed indeed. One light bulb not working. Overall very unwelcoming and very poor value. We will not be staying here again.

Everything is remote access codes for entry and reception which we didn’t get until we phoned at the front door. However access and room very good. Our room was above the front door which did seem to bang closed a lot. Neighbourhood was excellant and bus transport ample to town

Awful excuse for a hotel
No receptionist at any time, tiny room at more than $230 a night, tiny bathroom so small sink is actually in the bedroom, pictures are not accurate on the sites as it shows Victorian house with ornate features which is only true at the front of the house. The rooms are mostly in the back in an ugly red brick extension with little light narrow corridors and small rooms. Overall terrible and I'm shocked to see anyone unless their friends give top reviews. Oh and ironing board is the one you place on your bed and half the size as normal and it was a tiny thin piece of fabric on top otherwise iron mesh that I ironed into my shirt!

The property is in a very nice location south of the city and there is several bus stops with in a 5-10 minute walk from the property. The rooms are ok, not bad but not really the cleanest. There is no staff on property except to clean up after checkout. The check in process is very easy without having staff on the property.

I have stayed t this property many times and always been satisfied. Good location in South Central Dublin with easy transport to the city and many amenities close by. Good value for money.

Wouldn’t stay again
The room is small and has a comfortable bed. There was no water provided in the room. Unfortunately there isn’t good soundproofing and I could hear doors closing, tvs and loud conversations happening well into the night which prevented me from getting decent sleep.
There is a walk in shower with good water pressure but the spray from the shower was coming out onto the floor while I was waiting for the water to heat up. Then the drain couldn’t keep up and the water overflowed onto the tiled floor. There was also some mould where the tiles meet the shower tray.
I wouldn’t consider this to be a 4 star hotel, in fact it’s more of a hostel or at best a guest house.

There was no hair dryer which would have been very nice to have, especially since traveling there from the US.
