For the money i would have thought the hotel would be cleaner, have wash clothes and soap in the dispensers. And the last day we were there the elevator wuit working.

Dissapointed Price and Rooms Don't Match
Quite expensive for this older property that was under renovations. I was debating staying here or Holiday Inn Express and decided to go with a "boutique hotel." Was originally given a tiny room for $135.00 with the heater stuck on high. Room was big enough for a double bed and that was it. I asked to see about turning it the heater off but wasn't an option. Was then moved to another room and happened to be a larger room with a door that opened to the outside. I think anyone using Hotels.com gets screwed over on rooms after seeing what we could have been given and wasn't from the start.

Where else would they iron your shirt for you?
All staff great and helpful. Even got my shirt ironed for me. Rooms are basic and TV complicated (to turn on or off mostly). Beds clean. Just basic but would stay again for the value.

Unclean and not a nice place to stay
The hotel is not clean, the walls were scuffed and dirty from spills, we found hair on the bedding. We stayed two nights not consecutively so we had two different rooms and neither was nice. The first room had a broken toilet seat and the toilet did not flush well. The shower had the worst water pressure I have ever encountered. The second room was slightly nicer but it was still just okay. This was the room with spills on the wall. The toilet in this room also did not flush well. The hotel was also very warm and we had to open windows while we slept but it is in a very loud neighborhood. The bar below was closed for renovations at the time of our stay so I imagine it is normally even louder. I would not recommend staying here. I wish we had spent a little more to find a place to stay that didn’t seem so dirty.

Good for a night
Our room was nice but we weren’t aware the place was under construction. We arrived at night and there was an interesting night crowd out and was glad to have arrived with family and not on a solo trip. The staff was friendly and helpful to provide local tips and arrange for a taxi to the airport. Good for a one night stay and central location in Dublin.

The staff go above and beyond. I am from Florida and I freeze. The first night I stayed there I just couldn’t get warm and I went down to ask the staff if they could turn up the heat in my room. The staff were unable to get a hold of someone to turn up the heat so they brought me a portable heater. They were so kind and helpful. I recommend anyone to stay and I would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was really good as well.

Good location
Room was small but comfortable. Check in seemed very disorganized. Ringing a bell to get in wasn't ideal.... they need a better system. Perhaps a pin code for guests? We waited outside one evening unsure if anyone was hearing the bell then the staff was very sharp with us for ringing more than once! Standing outside in a strange city and unable to get into your hotel is not ideal. Location was good for exploring on foot.

Hidden gem
Doesn't look like much from the outside but the room was spacious, staff very helpful and polite and a simple continental breakfast was included. The location couldn't be better. Hotel was under renovation but I wasn't disturbed by noise. The receptionist let me stay in the room an extra hour and stored my bag due to my late flight. Will definitely stay again.

WARNING: TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!!!!!
Freaking horrible experience. Everything is being renovated or under construction. Their hotel is NOTHING like the pictures, and what little space they offer is dingy/dirty and smells like ass. I tried to back out of my reservation at check-in because of the obvious discrepancies between the actual quality versus what they advertised online, but they weren’t having it. I left anyways and they kept my money. ***DON’T GO HERE!!!**

Don't stay here if you want to sleep!!
Felt more like a hostel. Convenient location, staff friendly and beds were clean and comfy. Unfortunately after this, can't say many positive things. Not sure how it is rated 3-star, Google's rating of 2-star is far more accurate. Arrived quite late, took half an hour to get in the room because they couldn't get a key card that worked. Listing states it's great for families but it happens to be right next to a nightclub with no soundproofing so there was extremely loud music, vibrations and screaming until around 4am. Window didn't close properly either. Bathroom mostly clean but toilet had not been cleaned properly from the previous stay and had various dried stains! Listing states TV with cable channels, we had a TV that wasn't connected to anything or work. Breakfast was extremely disappointing, nothing more than packets of cereal, a loaf of bread and packet cheese. Was meant to stay 2 nights but ended up checking out and paying for another hotel for the second night. Has definitely made me research more thoroughly before booking hotels and not just go on pictures and the listing description! Overpriced for what it is. Would only recommend it if you are a serious heavy sleeper or just looking for a place to crash after partying all night. Extremely disappointed.

Location and price are great
Location was perfect and so was the price. Biggest downfall was the lack of water pressure in the shower. There was almost zero pressure. Hotel was under renos for the Adelphi so we missed out on that but overall would stay here again.

Location and value for city center was all good. Easy walk to Temple Bar. A few things in the shower were funky, like the head was incredibly high up, but it was wonderful to take a bath. Soap dispenser was missing. It was cold and the radiators wouldn't turn on. Street noise was as would be expected for city center. Not too bad from 4th floor. I would stay there again in spite of deficiencies due to location and price.

Started out fine, the afternoon front desk girl was really nice. When we got to our room we weren’t expecting anything fancy but we also weren’t expecting dirty walls with something dripping down them and a tampon wrapper on the floor. When we went to go to bed that night we noticed the blanket was too small for the both of us and the sheets didn’t stay in the bed because it was a flat sheet sorta tucked under the mattress. First morning was ok but the WiFi wasn’t working and when I asked the morning receptionist she gave me an attitude and told me maybe someone would get to it later. Unfortunately my husband had work to do so we have to find a cafe with free WiFi. The next day the morning receptionist fixed it but said the other girl never mentioned anything. The second morning we were abruptly woken up at 7:40 to the walls vibrating and a crazy drilling noise. It lasted for almost two hours. Apparently they were doing work on the ground floor. These are just the highlights of our stay at this hotel, we won’t be returning.

It is near the sites but the hostel was nearby where we saw public drug use. Also, the night clubs next door are very loud. The hotel itself is a 2 star hotel but it was clean. The tv did not work and the breakfast was minimally continental. Staff was nice. It's fine for 1 or 2 nights.

Good value for your money
Very clean quaint hotel. In the process of being updated. Centrally located to everything. Good value for your money. Room is not large but very clean. We would hesitate to stay here again. Elevator for accessibility access. Continental break is truly continental, however based on the prices for breakfast in Dublin, we appreciated the basic start to our day. f you are looking for a bed bigger than a double, look elsewhere. We managed fine.

Hotel was ok, room was clean and staff were happy to help. Not a hotel I would bring the family too due to pubs and clubs nearby, can be noisy (not sure about midweek as I stayed on a weekend) Due to location it’s an ideal place to stay if you are away with the lads.
