Average
A basic place, slightly below average. Small areas beside the bed, shower that works but only has one place to put it (which is right on your face), flies around the bathroom, not very sound proof (could hear the man snoring next door and when he put his plug in the outlet). But it was a fine place to sleep and cheaper compared to the rest. It did the job we wanted.

After reading so many negative reviews, I was extremely worried before getting to the B and B… Our flight was delayed and I wrote them an email to let them know. When we arrived at 3am, the staff was there to greet us and let us in. Checking in was a breeze and so was the check out. The staff is just lovely. The rooms are small but we had expected that (we chose a cheap option and so didn’t need more than a bed, a bathroom, tv and coffee/tea). It was very comfortable and clean. It is walking distance from everywhere and we were very lucky. The only thing that I’d mention, and it’s not the fault of the hotel, is that it is a common area for party goers to hang out before getting on the busses home… so it was common for us to be woken up between 2 and 4 am.

B&B was within walking distance to a lot of tourist areas. B&B was clean, and all the staff were friendly. Only thing I disliked was that the room was quite dated, and a piece of the bottom of shower was coming off. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay. Fairly quiet location and had no issues with noise even though we had the window open all night.

I was extremely disappointed with this B&B. The price was too high for the experience. Avoid it if you can. Location is horrible, right on a very noisy, dirty and unsafe street. The rooms have no air conditioning and we had to keep the window open to be able to handle the heat, so it was terribly noisy ALL day and night long, either by passing cars or by noisy drunk people walking on the street. The neighbourhood promised convenience, which it fulfilled, it is located on a walking distance from the city Center, but it is not a pleasant walk. Streets were dirty, smelly and ugly. There are other better places were to stay, equally walkable, like the dock lands. The room was very small, it fit 5 people in the tiny beds, but there was no room for comfortably handling and leaving luggage. It felt cramped and ventilation was an issue, so again, window had to be kept open. The room was clean when we arrived but they do not provide housekeeping services during your stay. Toiletries are not provided besides a very low quality hand and body soap foam. There is also no hairdryer. The shower was small with broken shower doors. The only good part was the staff, though not all of them. The 2 Latino receptionists (a Bolivian girl and I believe a Mexican boy) were extremely helpful, nice and pleasant. We did not try the breakfast, we didn’t want to add any more disappointments to our stay in Hazzelbrook accommodation.

So-so
We booked two rooms here, but they were not able to give us two rooms close to each other. In fact, we had a room on the very top floor, with no elevator, and we are not young folks any more! And our family had a room on the ground floor. Dublin is expensive, so this place was fairly well-priced for Dublin, but was really pretty basic---not sure why it's called B&B. Our room had no chair, no desk surface, so rather hard to do any computer work, which we needed to do. So, overall, okay, but not outstanding, and we probably wouldn't return.

No frills but great location, comfy and safe
While it was very basic and no frills, it was perfectly fine for our 2 night stay. It was clean, not too noisy, great location. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a quad room #1 downstairs. The only things that we found lacking was lighting in the room and no hooks or shelves or racks in the bathroom to place anything. There is no breakfast included but they do have a kettle with tea and coffee in the room. You are just steps from dozens of cafes, pubs, shops, and restaurants Seems to be a neighborhood where people actually live. 1st timer to Dublin here and I never once felt unsafe

Very good hotel with friendly staff.
It was exactly what I needed, a clean room in the city centre for 1 night. The staff was very helpful and friendly, even though I was a bit stressed not getting a taxi to get to the airport. Very positive feeling from them. The room was a standard, clean with en-suite. The house is older so you could hear the neighbours a bit, but I slept good. Of course there are a few small tips that can improve the stay; a bottle of water in the room would be nice since the tap water is a bit bad tasting. Perhaps a local free magazine/newspaper in the room to read and check what’s on in Dublin. But over all, the hotel is price-worthy, and to be that centrally located very good value for the money.

No star luxury ???
The area was very poor as was the welcome. I was moaned at as I had the wrong reservation number on my print out, the room on the 'ground floor was small and smelly the 'shower room' was a shower !!, the hand basin fitting were loose, as well as the water being only tepid, the toilet seat moved when you sat on it, it did flush quite well but after a while water appeared on the floor around it and neither of us wanted to use the actual shower due to it's state. I must admit that the mirror worked ! The towels supplied - 2 hand & 2 slightly larger were semi reasonable The tea making facilities were there albeit the cups needed washing. We also had to be back in our room by 1200 midnight ?? What added insult to injury was the noise from not only the rooms upstairs but having to have the only window in the room open, was the loudness of the foreign language coming from the 'unit' next door that went on until 0230/0300 am.. No I would not suggest to anyone that they stay here. It's put a very bad slant on B & B's although in was in Dublin near to the shopping areas - nowhere near worth what was charged. A very bad choice on my part - it WILL NOT happen again

Considering this was the cheapest room at the time of booking it could have been much worse. Staff is very friendly and helpful, the room was clean although the bathroom had some weird stains on the ceiling. There was lots to do around, and it was located not even 500 meters from the Spire
