Liked everything about the hotel, had some difficulty with booking otherwise was 5 stars

It's just a student accommodation thats been opened up for use during the summer. It's a nice area. Felt very safe and has some food and shopping nearby. Probably a 20 minute walk from the station and city centre. The accompdation was nice, modern and comfortable. Not as good as a traditional hotel and definitely not as quiet/sound proof. When people entered the building the door opening and closing was very loud. They gave me 1 towel for a 4 night and said they'd charge me €5 for a clean towel. So from a hygienic point of view not good at all. It's a cheap enough accommodation but wouldn't stay again. It did what I needed it to.

Felt only negatives were showers and taps which turn off water every 10 seconds. Apparently this is to save water but there’s much better ways like maybe having it turn off for a minute after 3 mins of use. It ends up being super frustrating and you can hear others in your pod and those next door banging taps every 2 seconds to get water going. Have to pay for towels taken every day. Also there’s no pool table and the social area besides the bar is actually very small. Not super social hostel, not for younger vibe I would say. Overall the room, pods are clean and bathroom is reasonably clean. Note that it’s not the safest area outside of the hostel itself, walk towards direction of main city if going out. Hostel itself secure.

Check in was easy. My daughter and I arrived in Dublin early in the morning and had no issue accessing early check in. The room was clean, spacious and well equipped. The location was also great. Would definitely return.
