    The 24/7 reception was very convenient, and the location is excellent - right in the heart of the city.

    The hotel was not very comfortable. Unfortunately, the bed was one of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in (and I’m not usually picky about beds) — it felt like nothing but springs, and I would wake up at night because of it. My room was on the third floor, but there was no elevator, which made access a bit inconvenient. Upon arrival, the bathroom was not properly cleaned, as there was hair in the sink. Housekeeping could also be improved: while they made the bed, the cushions and bed runner were left on the floor.

    I know Dublin is an expensive city and reasonably priced hotels are in short supply, but i wasn't quite prepared how very little 100 Euros gets you. I couldn't fault the staff, and there were tea and coffee making facilities and an iron in the room that was tolerably clean....

    ...however, the room itself was extremely tatty, with broken and damaged furniture, a saggy bed and forlorn looking curtains, giving an overall impression of neither being well loved nor well cared for, which was rather depressing. I'm sure margins are tight for the hotel industry, but I'd rather pay more than stay in a place that made me feel a little sad and uneasy. My expectations were not particularly high as I saw how much it cost to stay in the main chain hotels, but surely it's not too much to expect a better standard than this.

    The location, is located a just 10 minutes walking from the Spire. You have all close to you.

    The bed was very uncomfortable.

    Great place if looking for affordable accomodation. Right in the city center: corner of Purnell/ O'Connell street that is the main one. Bus/tram stations nearby aswell as train station too. Lots ot shops/pubs. The hotel on the 2nd level -1st one occupied by rock bar/pub/shops. Easy polite check-in, TV, toiletries, towels, comfy bed, hairdryer, iron and view to main street. Small kitchenette with el.kettle, mugs and some coffee. We really enjoyed our stay, do recommend.

    10/10

    The hotel located in the City Center which leads to easy commute.The staff was really nice as they always there to hear our concerns and solve them as quickly as possible.The rooms are good but with very basic amenities.

    There are lot of noise in the night time from 9:00pm to 15:00 due to the nighclub which was located just below to the hotel.This was the greatest negative point as it spoiled our sleep time.But, the staff was really nice to change our room to the third floor which leads to really low noise and was able to sleep properly.

    The property was okay but the it’s very noisy you can’t even sleep the whole nice because of the people down the hotel . I had ask for a quit room but I don’t get it … could not sleep the whole night While checking out I informed the staff about the issue the staff was like we always say tells the guest before booking the room if they k now the issue that you should have a sound proff glasses . It was horrible at night I could not even sleep well not worth paying so much when you can’t even relax

    To louder and lot of distractions of people after 11 pm while people are half asleep

    The location is great. Perpendicular to the main street, O'Connell. The bed is comfy. Concierge available 24h.

    The place didn't seem very clean. The bed and towels are changed and cleaned everyday if asked, but the facilities need a good scrub. The room and furniture look old and not very well maintained. The pictures were quite deceiving. The room was very hot and as my only window was giving on the roof, I didn't want to open it. There's a fan at your disposal but mine was old and loud, so I did not use it for long. Please note that the place is awfully loud during the weekend at night. It's true the hotel informs in advance of the bar downstairs, but in this case, my whole room floor and bed was shaking until 2AM. If you are good to party, join the bar downstairs, the music is good. If you are planning to have a good night and wake up early to visit, forget about this place.

    - Prime location - Friendly 24/7 staffing - Good pricing - Even though the property is above 2 nightclubs, and there is some expected noise, it was not to the point where you were disturbed - Clean room/facilities

    If you are after a place to stay where there is no noise in the evening this is probably not the property for you, but with that said, the noise from the clubs below did not disturb our sleep/relaxation at all

    Property response:

    Dear Priscilla, Thank you for taking the time to review our property. We apologize for the issue you had with the noise, had you mentioned it to our night staff he would have asked the people to be a bit quieter. With regards to the drains and the fittings these have since been resolved. If you will visit us again, we hope you will give us another try and see for yourself the improvements that have been made. If you will be in Dublin again, please give us another try, and we are sure you will not encounter issues like mentioned above. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
