Fordstown Vacation Packages

Room fridge was never less than warm (not even cool). No hand towels exist. No outlet in bathroom for hair dryer or other appliances. No cable channels- only a few local news channels accessible. Most rooms overlook a moldy run down rooftop & furnace area.

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.

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.

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.

The bedrooms were dark with hardly any natural light. The sitting room was comfortable. The kitchen tap was very loose. One bathroom sink cracked and partially blocked. The apartment was in a good location which was good.
