Ich war sehr gerne in dieser Unterkunft. Bequemes Bett, sauber, viel Platz um auszupacken, reichlich Toilettenartikel und Handtücher. Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es ist ein relativ ruhiges Haus (hängt von den Zimmernachbarn ab) , ein bisschen abgelegen von der Innenstadt (aber auch zu Fuß gut zu erreichen) , nahe des Bahnhofs. Gerne wieder !

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was filthy. They give you one thin towel. I asked for a fan twice and both broken. For $200, this is absolutely unacceptable. I cannot remember the last time I had such an awful experience. $200 you think you could at least offer a shower towel. You cannot charge prices like that for experiences like that. AWFUL!

We liked that we had the train station very close and also walking you can quickly reach different places, very central. The bed was very comfortable and the truth is that we were very comfortable. Recommendable!

Jessica

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property was excellent to stay at. The rooms were clean with plenty of space to sit your stuff down on and even unpack if you were there for a few days. The bed was comfy, but the pillows were very flat, so this could be improved on. The area felt extremely safe and even had multiple scans to go from building to building. It was within a 5 minute walk to two of the hop on and hop off bus tours pickup and closely located to pubs and a small convenience store to get food and drinks. It was also a 8 minute walk from the Dublin Express that gets you to and from the airport.

The location was great and the staff very friendly. The room was tiny and very hot unable to control temperature. There was a communal kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee but no cups or spoons or coffee but the station is nearby with lovely cafes. It is student accommodation and was handy for us for a few days.

The room is ok, cleanliness could be better in communal areas. There is a kitchen in each apartment as advertised but your not allowed to use it, an email was sent out to tell people not to use the kitchens as they don’t advertise them although they do.
