Drumyouth Holidays from £279

We had a lot of trouble when none of the appliances worked because of an electric problem and you had to be a brain surgeon to get the washer to work

The hotel was really nice but our room was basically in the basement of the hotel and we needed to use two different elevators to get there. Although the floor was filled with rooms, I didn’t see any other guests on that floor. Only cleaning staff going in and out of their offices/rooms. The breakfast in the morning was great, I just wish they could have put us somewhere more conveniently.

The room was okay, it had a bad smell (I think it was the carpet) but we got used to it. There was only bath towels, no hand towels. The view was amazing. The restaurant downstairs was amazing. We did not spend a lot of time in the hotel, and more in the surrounding area, so that smell did not take the score down too low :)

The bedrooms were dark with hardly any natural light. The sitting room was comfortable. The kitchen tap was very loose. One bathroom sink cracked and partially blocked. The apartment was in a good location which was good.

We chose this apartment for its proximity to Temple Bar. We were a family of four staying here for a few nights. Pros: Great location and very walkable to many restaurants and bars. There's a separate living room and bedroom. Looks out over the river. The rental company was pretty responsive and our room was ready early when we arrived. Has a washer/dryer combo. Cons: It was noisy at night and kept up the two people sleeping in the living room on the foldout couch. There's no AC. We didn't realize this when booking it. It wasn't too hot when we stayed but it's definitely a consideration if it's the height of summer. The washer and dryer didn't dry our clothes. We watched the demo video the rental company had on the app but the washer we had didn't match the one in the video and the controls didn't make sense. While there was plenty of room, there wasn't much space to sit down other than on the foldout couch and bed. We weren't in the room a lot, though, so it was fine.
