  : quiet place, perfect for a rest/energy refill after full days of visitingeasy to get to downtown, bus just outside the location. Dart is 5 min away, ideal to centre, Malahide, or Howth (recommended)ideal for airport connection, 703 just on the other side of the roadTesco 8-10 min awaynon-smoker place, everything cleanheating just perfect for some cold April nightsnice garden in the back, perfect for warm evenings to chill outsideFriendly stuff, helped with power adapter until we purchased some (forgot the island power adapter thing completely ☺️), also to replace a night lamp in same day as reported.
  : cutlery and plates, maybe one more extra chairthe room a bit small for 3 persons but still comfortable (the table with TV/microwave becoming small for 3 for a breakfast etc)

  : Location good. Jennifer who was the only staff was as pleasant and helpful as she could.
  : Terribly impersonal place. No atmosphere only one person on staff. More like a hostel, dowdy reception area. No staff from 8:00 p.m. until 11:00 a.m. leaving guests without recourse. Doors activated by buzzer and designed to slam shut. Doors did slam at all hours and buzzers buzzed. Would not recommend staying there.

  : No breakfast available
  : Zero atmosphere. Only staff 1 foreign girl with a computer. When she left no staff at all till the next day. One telephone number for “emergencies “. Tried to get us to download an app so we could get into the building and our room. Didn’t work so got a “physical key”. No cleaning etc unless staying 4 nights or more. Milk ran out after first night, no more available. Floor dirty. Pigeons roosting above our room- woke us at approximately 5am. Paid by debit card before we left England but charged 12+ - why?? No information about how to get into Dublin until asked girl we met when arrived. She was very helpful but seemed rather embarrassed that the key to get into the building and then the room didn’t work. She was v helpful explaining about buses but this was her own personal experience rather than info provided by the “hotel”. More expensive than fantastic hotel we stayed in in Galway . We will never stay there again

  : we had the family suite and it was wonderful. so much space and well equipped.
  : we had a problem with the plug sockets which we couldnt get a maintenance man to see and it was far from town if you didnt return before the last bus it was hard to get a taxi and too far to walk home (so only applies if you go for a night out)
