Great spot to stretch out right next to Temple Bar
Pros:

Quite large space for a roomy and comfortable stay! Staff are friendly and communicative, and helpful to stow your luggage if you arrive early. We felt very secure as well with the card readers on the way past the lobby. And finally a place with a bathroom with ample shelf space! The location is right by so many lovely shops and places to eat

Cons:

Very minor nitpicks; we didn't realize what we thought was an oven was actually a microwave until trying to use it. It seems odd that the place settings include exactly two of everything requiring a wash in between having breakfast twice

Great location opposite Tenple Bar. Friendly staff. Relaxed
Pros:

Location and style. Comfortable and relaxed

Cons:

Not advised there is building work next to the studio. Started at 7am. I am a travel agent and building work is always advised. I would have requested a studio away from this and not the view we had. Never found the cutlery!

Wonderful place to stay while in Dublin.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good and lovely setting

Cons:

Nothing ..everything was great , including Robbie, the electronic genius who helped us figure out how to use the high end appliances in the kitchen. As well, Robbie is a wealthy of information about the hotel and the city.

Great stay in Dublin, but would not choose the apartment again, if we ever returned to Dublin
Pros:

The location was excellent and the reception staff very helpful with anything we asked or needed.

Cons:

The rooms were incredibly small given the price paid. The room was only serviced once per week, but we only had a 3 night stay, so that was disappointing considering what the room rate was per night.
