    Perfect for a quick stay in Dublin. Not too far from the city and located next to a lovely canal.

    Host was very nice and accommodating. We were up for a concert and she immediately told us the best way to travel out to where the concert was located. The room was also very comfortable.

    That's dirty and the smell of smoking is everywhere. It was noisy, because it's clear to hear everything that happens outside the room

    Pretty nice room with a beautiful view from the window.

    Nice stay in private room near center for good price. More like a home stay.

    The double bed was too close to the wall on the left side barely leaving room to get in and out of bed. It could have been easily pulled over so there was equal space on both sides.

    The host of as very helpful and the accomodation was very clean and well maintained

    It was quite far from the city center, so we took a bus to get there. The room was a bit too small for 2 people.

    I liked the place in general, the owner pays lots of attention to make it a comfortable and nice place for staying. I like how quiet the house was

    the tea and coffee area was not very clean, no milk or whitener for tea or coffee. no internet access. there was a lot of noise that carried throughout the house our room had glass panels above the door which let in all the light from the hallway when the lights were switched on and one more thing was the toilet seat was loose and did not fit properly.

    it was close to the canal so we had a nice walk along, bed was comfy and the neighbourhood was quiet.

    The location is close to the centre and is within walking distance of many bus stops, shops and restaurants. There is a nice canal side path just in front of the house, so if you’re a runner, it’s a nice spot. When it comes to the room itself, unfortunately we could smell cigarette smoke in our room, and on the corridor, which wasn’t the most pleasant experience. All in all the bathroom, the room and the sheets could be cleaner, but the shower was easy to use and the water pressure was okay. We were welcomed very warmly and the host was a very nice person, they were helpful and friendly. They were also understanding of our check in and check out hours (we had to go to the airport at 3am and there was no issue with key dropp off or checking out).

    Very good value for money in Dublin. Comfortable bed and cosy room with coffee and various teas to choose from. Loved the old fireplace and decor. Helpful to get parked for free in a nearby street and garage for petrol closeby to refuel before heading further south. Nearby coffee shop for a tasty breakfast. Worked well for my two night stay.

    Dublin canal hotel review

    The property was effectively a room in someone's house, the room was very small for two adults. The house was very noisy with doors banging and the owner had a young toddler/child that cried regularly and made my partner and I feel uncomfortable where we spent a vast majority of time out of the hotel to feel relaxed. The room wasn't great in terms of cleanliness. The floors could have done with a clean as there were bits all over, the mattress and bedding was covered in hair and the tea and coffee could possibly have been there months or years due to the scattering on the side table. It is advertised as a garden view but the garden and surrounding buildings are effectively a building site, that is quite noisy at certain periods (late Saturday night) I could hear machinery working. The toiletries are effectively the owners personal toiletries, they're not hotel style toiletries and you're sharing the owners bathroom which can feel uncomfortable at times. The WiFi is non-existent, you'll almost certainly be using mobile data.

    It was on the lower side for prices at the time of booking for a stay in Dublin due to the expensive nature of the city. However still, the price was roughly £90 per night, equivalent of a decent budget hotel and this wouldn't compete with the standards of a decent budget hotel in reality.
