Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for five nights. One of the best front desk staffs we can remember working with. They were very responsive to our needs. Laundry facilities are top notch. Great when you have been travelling with kids for more than three weeks. Loved the wings. Having a small kitchenette in the room was nice. The hotel is centrally located on one end of Mary’s Street. There is great shopping nearby. The Spire is a ten minute walk. The Temple Bar area less than 15 minutes. Guiness about 30 minutes. You cannot go wrong staying here. Great value - tons of great options."
