Beyond that the rooms are run down. I can see this as a step up from a hostel as the rooms each have a shower. But the beds were springy and there is no AC so the snug double (which we expected) was hotter than hell and the windows open much didnt heap, but we did and for an hr every night you could hear every car that left the car park next door. Don’t eat at the pizza joint next door. Worst mistake I made the whole trip. ##### Carole Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jonathan Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities It's ok place to stay for the night. ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francis Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic location with friendly staff Fantastic stay in a modern room with a good sized double bed and good shower room. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The communal area is well maintained and spacious. Good location close to Smithfield and some great pubs. ##### Francis Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abby Jul 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely modern room for a decent price ##### Abby Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### James Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location a short walk from many key city areas. Awkward bathroom but still very usable. Would recommend the room for 1 person but we were sharing between 2 and it was too small ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mirella Aug 17, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Access to kitchen balcony gym bowling ect Close to centre town Comfortable spacious room ##### Mirella Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily Jul 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Really friendly reception staff who were present at all times to answer any questions we had. The room and the shared kitchen were clean and ideal. About a 20 minute walk along the river to temple bar, and less for many amazing restaurants and pubs, etc. Perfect for a short term stay. ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Derek Jul 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Decent accommodations Check in process was simple, and lobby always had staff on hand. The bed is somewhat uncomfortable and toiletries provided are scant, but not unreasonable for price. Overall good, not great. ##### Derek Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lena Jul 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Nice room but not in a perfect condition, door could only be locked with a 'trick', nub in shower missing etc. Overall an okay accommodation even though quite pricey for what it is. Nevertheless the are is perfect to visit Dublin. ##### Lena Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Luke Jul 27, 2022 This room was surprisingly spartan for the expanse of this residence. there was no shampoo or soap in washroom. Small room. Overall not very good value. ##### Luke Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lorie Denise, Saskatoon Jul 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It was assessable to certain areas that we needed and to transportation and Mike was the noisy birds and they need to put something on their doors it’s too much slamming ##### Lorie Denise Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sabbina Jul 2, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Accommodation was clean and tidy - however our room fob didn’t work so we couldn’t lock our door therefore we had to take all our important belongings with us when we went out and about around Dublin - we asked the staff to see if they could help but they only showed us a demonstration on how to lock the door and after I told them for the second time that it didn’t work I had to leave because our taxi was waiting and the meter was going up and the staff then went on to say not to worry and they would check the door but it was still unlocked when we got back ##### Sabbina Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrea Jul 16, 2022 Liked: Communication Disliked: Amenities If you want to sleep, do not book here. I think the room feeling stuffy and warm was a rare thing in Dublin but because of this, we really needed the window open to feel comfortable. Unfortunately people yell in the courtyard all night long and you can’t get any sleep. Even with the window closed it was loud and didn’t stop till around 5am. It also doesn’t help that people pound on the doors from the inside as well. Also the bed is like sleeping on flat plastic water bottles, and a double is tight for two adults. I guess if you were two very small humans it’d be fine, or maybe if the bed was comfortable. The sink was clogged and took forever to drain. Also there are no extra sheets, towels, blankets, pillows or hand towels. It’s rough. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Rosa Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Rosa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexis Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Alexis Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jette Aug 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jette Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### prateek Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### prateek Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Benjamin Jul 26, 2024 Disliked: Room comfort ##### Benjamin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilyass Jul 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ilyass Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Patricia Jul 15, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Patricia Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bayleigh Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Bayleigh Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tania Jul 3, 2024 ##### Tania Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen Jun 27, 2024 ##### Helen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chloé Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Chloé ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great budget option in Dublin Nice budget option, so no TV or shampoo etc but well linked up for transport via the Luas (tram) ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Sandymount Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Sandymount-Hotel.h176111.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Newlands-Cross.h2191510.Hotel-Information) > > [The Metro Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-The-Metro-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1498773.Hotel-Information) > > [Clontarf Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Clontarf-Castle-Hotel.h108214.Hotel-Information) > > [WaltDisneyWorldResort Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Resort.0-0-d178294--bWaltDisneyWorldResort.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Executive Plaza Hotel Metro Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Executive-Plaza-Hotel-Metro-Vancouver.h201072.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Canal Hotel Dublin](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Grand-Canal-Hotel-Dublin.h984485.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Ballsbridge.h2232529.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Midtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Midtown-New-York-Hotels.0-n6203489-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels.d5292.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [InterContinental Dublin by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-InterContinental-Dublin.h475902.Hotel-Information) > > [Dublin Skylon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Dublin-Skylon-Hotel.h558967.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Leopardstown](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Leopardstown.h2210669.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-London.h15868.Hotel-Information) > > [The Croke Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-The-Croke-Park-Hotel.h1194479.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Burlington Road](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Burlington-Road.h22147.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Toronto -
