Smotscourt Holidays from £124

Was clean & secure with a seamless check in, but somewhat misleading. Is typically student housing that is turned over in the summer for short-term rentals. Room had a bed, desk, storage. There were two of us that shared a double bed. Was a “cozy” night in a little bed. When searching for a room we selected A/C as a search parameter and this listing popped up. When we arrived we noticed it was fan in the room, no AC, so we required our window open overnight which was quite loud with outdoor activities well past midnight. The shower was plugged so was only able to take a shower in short bursts in order for it to drain in between soaping and rinsing. Was also disappointed that towels were only provided for one person. This was discovered late at night and we have a very early departure, so one used a towel to dry off the other used a hand towel. Staff were friendly and receptive but communication through the app was quite delayed. They had a whatsapp number for quicker response. Was safe and secure but all at the cost of comfort.

The property is a little dated. No elevator. Great beach view. Very good restaurant and bar. Wide selection of food styles. Great breakfast. Small bathroom.

Great stay, friendly and accommodating staff. Good location!

Incomparable city centre location just off Grafton Street, opposite Bruxelles. Have stayed multiple times. Great studio apartments, spacious and really well appointed. Ideal for a weekend stay in the city . Cannot recommend highly enough.

We loved staying at Buswells! Our first visit to Dublin and we couldn't be happier with our stay. The staff are so courteous and helpful, the scones are amazing, and the charm exceeded my expectations. It is so centrally located, you are close to so many museums. We will be back!
