    Odd hotel - nice building, but no staff anywhere.

    The self check in process is not clear - you have to cover the top part of the lock with your hand to make the keypad appear, which isn’t clear from the instructions. When we wanted to check in at 16:30 (we had two bedrooms), the staff was still cleaning one of the rooms. Very odd, as it’s way past the earliest check in time. The only lucky thing about this is that she could tell us how to use the keypad on the door. We had two rooms in the basement, and for the first night a quite loud group of school children were staying next door. Additionally, the door lock beeps very loud when putting in the code, meaning that when your neighbour comes home in the middle of the night it will wake you up. One of the two rooms was very small: so small that the sink didn’t fit into the bathroom, but was in the corridor in the main room. Also, no present staff. We did not see a single member of staff during our whole trip, except the two members of staff who were still cleaning one of the rooms when we wanted to check in.

    I like the location. Although further out, the suburb the hotel is in is lovely. The hotel is in a nice building and it’s modern on the inside.

    The room was TINY. Certainly not at as as shown in the pictures on Booking .com. Smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in.

    Beautiful building, felt safe. Girl on reception was very helpful. Shower was great.

    Loud neighbors, random knocks on my door after 11 pm, the radiator was set on 40 during the summer so it was insanely hot upon arrival after a long travel day. Beds were hard and sheets scratchy. Found hair in the shower and crumbs on bedside table. Could be a cute stay if they work out some of the issues.

    It's a fine neighborhood but a bus ride or around a 3 mile walk to Dublin center

    I stayed in room 108. The room is in the basement, very dark and very small. TV - useless- no channels. Carpet not clean and walls stained. I didn’t enjoy it.

    The bed was very comfortable and the shower was powerful.

    For the few hours we stayed having not be able to check in til 2pm and had to be out by 10am the prices for hotels in this country are a joke. No breakfast included in price at €250 for less than 24hrs. The "rip off Ireland" saying is well and truly correct. Screwing there own especially when a concert is in town. (This is in no way a dog at the staff, the lady we spoke to was lovely) But at the owners and goverment

    Nice area. Room was clean and tidy. We stayed for a concert so literally only dropped bags and came back to sleep. Area is quiet.

    The room itself was absolutely tiny for the amount of money paid for 1 night. The bedsheets had a stain and hole in them and there was a crisp down the side of the bed. Hated not being able to wash my hands after using the toilet as it was it the bedroom part of the room :/ An absolute nightmare trying to get a taxi from the area not sure why as there was plenty around.

    The receptionist that checked us in and out was lovely 5 stars for her alone.

    . Self check in. Dormitory style room layout. Rooms clean but very basic. No information about the area or transport in room which would have been helpful, including taxi contact details. I really didn't think it was value for money. Stayed in 4 hotels over 5 days, including a 4 star in Dublin centre and this was the most expensive. Would recommend as a base but don't rely on local public transport.

    The lady who called us to take payment and give us the entry codes was lovely. Nice and clean.

    No reception person; no maps of city so no possibility for any info; not close to city center; we ran out of toilet paper after 3 nights and had to ask our neighbors for some...room is super duper tiny!!! No place to unpack luggage, and we came for 4 nights so it was a pain leaving everything in the suitcase.

    It was pretty clean and convenient to get in with codes provided by hotel. Lots of USB outlets. Great shower stream.
