This property was excellent to stay at. The rooms were clean with plenty of space to sit your stuff down on and even unpack if you were there for a few days. The bed was comfy, but the pillows were very flat, so this could be improved on. The area felt extremely safe and even had multiple scans to go from building to building. It was within a 5 minute walk to two of the hop on and hop off bus tours pickup and closely located to pubs and a small convenience store to get food and drinks. It was also a 8 minute walk from the Dublin Express that gets you to and from the airport.

We liked that we had the train station very close and also walking you can quickly reach different places, very central.
The bed was very comfortable and the truth is that we were very comfortable. Recommendable!

It was great. Very secure. Super convenient to Heuston Station, the Luas, and Phoenix Park, but in a pretty quiet neighborhood. Very secure as well.

The location was great and the staff very friendly. The room was tiny and very hot unable to control temperature. There was a communal kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee but no cups or spoons or coffee but the station is nearby with lovely cafes. It is student accommodation and was handy for us for a few days.

The room is ok, cleanliness could be better in communal areas.
There is a kitchen in each apartment as advertised but your not allowed to use it, an email was sent out to tell people not to use the kitchens as they don’t advertise them although they do.

Dreadful stay - rude staff, poor facilities
Awful stay from start to finish. Rude staff, dirty rooms, facilities that don’t work correctly, unsafe windows, incorrect check out information given, insisting that I received an online check in form and being rude when I said I had not received one. The room was awfully hot with no way to control the temperature. No fans available so we just had to be very uncomfortable in the room. This place is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I would never go back. They won’t listen to concerns, they just give you an email address that nobody ever replies to. The support reviewed from hotels.com was also awful, they asked “what do you want us to do about it” basically abstaining from taking any responsibility for a hotel listed on their platform

Great base for exploring Dublin
This is great for an affordable few nights in Dublin.
The accommodation is a block of student flats which are rented out when students aren't there; as such it's very well kept and secure. It's impossible to get into any part of the complex without a keycard, which is a really nice reassuring touch. The bedrooms and communal areas are all clean and well maintained, and everyone was friendly.
Location wise you are a little out of the city centre here, but the area is quiet and it's very easy to get around by bus, tram or train - the nearest bus & tram stop is a 5-10 minute walk and the train station is only a few minutes further. There are local pubs, cafes and restaurants a street or two away and everything else is easily accessible via public transport.
It's important to know that this will be a no-frills experience - the rooms are small with no TV or kettle; there's no option for breakfast; and rather than staff, the people on the reception desk are largely students. They were all lovely but obviously inexperienced. There are no 'extras' - we asked for extra pillows and towels on day one and didn't get any by the time we left. Also information is hard to come by - we were given no guidance on check-out time or any procedures at any point.When we stayed the property had recently been taken over by a new management company, which could explain a little of the disjointedness.
I would definitely stay here again, overall it was positive - and now I know what to expect!

Tiny uncomfortable bed! Only 1 pillow each. I have arthritis I was in agony. Begged! For another pillow, toilet roll and towels. Had to ask! No cups at a very poor tea/coffee station. Dirty bins. Staff didn’t seem interested at all, sat with headphones on infront of laptop. Room was far too hot. Couldn’t turn it down. Blind broken , window leaked. Water all over floor ect. So sadly not many positives. Security was great. Guy was very helpful and always checking who was coming in and out. It’s a very Basic accommodation, yet for what we paid! Sadly very expensive for what we god. Not ideal for a couple as bed is too small and against a wall! So anyone with mobility problems like myself will be a problem.
