Great location. Old property but very clean. Room was very clean, towels replaced daily. I did not like there was no lock or chain lock on room door and on a few days housekeeping just walked right in without knocking or announcing entry; one of which I was in the shower. Reception staff was generally friendly. Microwave, utensils and napkins provided in lobby were helpful.

I was disappointed with my stay in this place. The reception team are great and friendly. The location of the hotel is great with close accessibility to O’Connel Street and easy access to trams, buses and all major Dublin City centre attractions. However the room, cleanliness of the room and amenities are all sub standard and over priced. It shocked me that the chair in the room didn’t have a backrest support. While the cleaners do the basic task of hoovering and general cleaning, I really feel they could have done much better. A note to all fellow travellers is that if cost is the main concern for you then this hotel is good. But if you are looking for comfort then look elsewhere as there are plenty of other better hotels in the vicinity of this hotel.

After reading the reviews and finding out about the amount of stairs and NO lift I decided not to stay there. I was also informed after I had booked that there was no breakfast but No discount on price. I went to The Gresham instead . Much the same price with breakfast and lifts .

I've stayed in most of the hotels in Gardiner Street in my time and so know what to expect. This one however was a pleasant surprise as it is cleaner, better maintained and generally feels more like a hotel than the others in the street while still offering the convenience of a central location that the area offers. Good stuff, I would gladly stay again.

Hotel/hostel
The staff in the hotel weren't the most friendly and welcoming - best welcome was from another customer who opened the door for us when nobody was on reception. The room itself was fairly clean and well kitted out. The decor is dated and the place could do with some work as it looks little run down. The walls are paper thin and not great if your next door neighbours are loud until the early hours. The location of the hotel/hostel is great; near to the bus station and walking distance to several attractions.

More hostel than hotel
Great location and room very clean. There was a hairdryer ,iron and kettle in the room with plenty of tea and coffee. However I didn't realise that it is also a hostel so was a bit noisy at times. Also as I was on my own I didn't feel safe on the street after it got dark

Hotel / hostel conveniently located near central Dublin, very close to main routes to the airport and central bus station. Hotel is fairly basic although room was very spacious, quite noisy as the room looked out over a busy road. Overall good value and friendly staff.

This place was awful. I would not recommend staying here at all. It was run down, the carpets were filthy, the bed was so uncomfortable, the neighborhood is rough, and I would never stay here again. They make you leave your room keys at the front desk for “security reasons”, but it really just sounded like an excuse to ransack your room. We took all our valuables with us whenever we left. This place was not cheap either, and the value for your money does not even come near to being worth it.

Very basic hotel, small rooms with little amenities, and very small bathroom. No shampoo nor toothpaste, and being pregnant I couldn’t really fit in the shower. Handy location for Busaran station, especially if you have luggages, as its less than 500 meters

A great little place on the north side of town. We stayed in a hotel room there and it served our purposes wonderfully. Only thing that was a downside is that the walls are a little thin but most of the other guests were very courteous with the noise level during the night and early morning.

Whatever you do, don’t stay here. The walls are filthy, once you flush the toilet the water in the sink and shower need a while to start, the fuze blew the second we turned on the lamp, there is no elevator so be prepared to walk up flights of steps, only 4 channels on the TV.

friendly, helpful staff. good location. this place is in an older building and is part hosted/ part hotel, so serves a mix of clientele, the steps are creaky and the walls between rooms are thin, but I didn't have any problem with late-night noise from younger people.

SO AMAZING FOR THE MONEY!
I stayed here with my daughter. You cannot beat the location, in the heart of Dublin! You can walk to everything. 24 hour service and the staff is so nice. Fantastic security, very safe. great wifi connection. Yes it's old but who wants to stay in a big sterile chain hotel when in Ireland? this was perfect.

Overly expensive for a rabbit warren of a hotel. Small bedroom made smaller because of extra single bed. As a result moving around and tea making facilities not good. Breakfast okay but you would get sick of it after awhile. Quality of room and breakfast enough to make you want to move on. Walking distance to everything, including O'Connell St. Especially convenient to Abbey Theatre.
