Great price and location. Great facilities. The only problem I have is they took a €100 payment off my card instead of a €100 hold and now I have to wait days for it to go back on my card or even be told when it is getting refunded.

Despite it being a self check in and out and a bit of confusion at the start, it was a lovely large room, more like a large bedsit, immaculate and great shower, 5 mins walk to Grafton Street.
Ill be back.

Great place to stay, central enough. Clean and full of everything you would need. Lots of food and drink options around. A brilliant place to stay in Dublin.

Great Studio. Poor communication from Hotels.com
My stay was very good. The accommodation exceeded my exceptions and good value. However the poor communication to me from Hotels.com regarding the checkin procedure & security deposit left me out in the rain before getting into my room. Had it not been for the staff at the hotel guiding me it would have taken longer. The Hotel and staff were great. Hotels.com not so much.

It is a wonderful place to stay, centrally located and within walking distance of most places that we wanted to visit. My one wish would be that there was a way to recycle plastic and paper.

Was locked out of the building before I could check in. Worst experience Ive ever had with a hotel. Refusing to refund me after not letting me in to the room. Never using Expedia again.

Great accommodation, irritating check in
A lovely stay in high standard accommodation. A good location too away from the immediate noise and crowds but still within walking distance of everything. The room was large. The check in was very poor though, when we got there we discovered we should have been sent pre information and also had to pay a security deposit outside of our booking app through a random payment tool. After making phone calls and payment we were allowed to check in. The communication should have been better and I resent paying a deposit outside of our booking app.

The room was great. Clean, well-kept, with excellent wifi, the only thing is we could not figure out how the heater worked, so it was a little bit cold

Room was clean, but there was no privacy for a 2 bed apartment. Only one bathroom. No doors to separate the beds.

Quite quirky rooms with interesting layouts. It doesn't feel very secure when travelling alone with no key lock, or chain lock on the doors (there were 2 connecting doors to my room). Bed was very comfortable, shower was great and had everything I needed in the kitchen. Check in was fine as others said it was difficult but once you follow the instructions it's pretty simple. Rooms a little on the cool side with breezes through the vents but this didn't bother me too much.

Would recommend
Great value for money, lovely place. Very clean and fairly quiet given it's location. Free on street parking from 7pm to 7am. Jervis parking is €15 for a day. Should add that you enter via the back entrance. The front door should add an arrow pointing right. Also I was given a code for the room but not told it was for a lock box to get the key for the room. Not being familiar with this I'd to ring on arrival. Was assisted immediately do all good. Lovely lunch spot across the street Tang and a fab wine bar below.

Being put in a fully equipped disabled access room wasn't the best start. If I want to wash my arse in a sink fine but I don't.
And we didn't need a room next to the front door on the ground floor with its slamming and banging.
And we I didn't want to keep the blinds closed because people were walking inches from the bed and the street outside. I will try and post a picture later. It's comical.
And having no staff creates its own problems and mild anxiety when things go wrong.
We were moved upstairs into a cold room (there's no central heating) with a weird stairwell outside where people were smoking and laughing at 5:10 in the morning. Pissed from the night before.
This wouldn't happen in a hotel with on site staff.
The rooms are clean and the apartments are new. The showers are really good although in the disabled room they were lukewarm presumably because they don't want to burn people sat in the disabled chair in the bathroom.
They need to work really hard on the stairwell which is industrial and echoey.
It was €175 a night which I think deserves better even though Dublin is expensive.
There's no class so if you're looking to impress your wife or girlfriend it's not for you.
I always try and post good reviews but it's difficult in this case but I'm not bitter. The offside star for his helpful as it could be although I had to wait till the last minute to get my new room code. I felt untrusted.
It's basic clean and if things go well it's fine.
