Baconstown Vacation Packages

My husband and I stayed 11 nights and it was absolutely wonderful from the time we checked in til we checked out. The property as well as the staff are so warm and welcoming. Our room was spacious and so clean. The breakfast each morning was amazing. On a couple of mornings when we needed to catch an early train, they had a breakfast to go bag ready for each of us. The location is perfect for exploring Dublin as well as catching a train to explore other areas of Ireland (we went to Cork, Galway and Belfast). This was a once in a lifetime trip for us to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and we are so glad we chose this particular hotel.

Check in was easy. My daughter and I arrived in Dublin early in the morning and had no issue accessing early check in. The room was clean, spacious and well equipped. The location was also great. Would definitely return.

The property is only a couple blocks from the spire/needle and lots of shopping and restaurants. There are a few nagging maintenance issues that need to be addressed, i.e., diverter valves, door handles, window hardware, TV service (no audio for the main platform), etc. More importantly, the property is a half block from a street maintenance lot. Consequently, it is very noisy late night into early morning when these services are in full force. Ergo, leaving windows open leads to constant noise and closing them only slightly mitigates the noise from the near constant activity.

We booked the property because we had a party of 8 and their apartments accommodated our party size. The floors had not been cleaned when we arrived. There is a train that runs behind the property so the noise is consistently loud during most of the day. We requested clean towels on our third day and even though we were told they’d be sent up, we never received them. The space of the apartment for our party size was great, but there wasn’t much within walking distance in terms of food or grocery accommodations. If we were to return to Dublin we would definitely stay closer to the city center and make sure we select a place with AC.

It’s a really great place. I chose it because of the proximity to Nassau street where we were catching a tour on the last morning. While it’s a great place I won’t have chosen it because of price. The rate doubled on the weekend and normally be more than I am willing to pay.
