Never again
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and the location was great.

Cons:

Communication with the property was nonexistent — I never received the entry code and had to sort it out myself upon arrival. The mattress was plastic, the room was never cleaned during my stay, and the noise from both the street and adjoining rooms was constant. The space was uncomfortably hot with no thermostat to adjust the temperature, and the coffee machine appeared dirty and poorly maintained. Overall, disappointing experience and not reflective of the listing description.

Alles top, sehr nettes Personal, aber aufgrund der Fenster nur bedingt zu empfehlen
Pros:

Hatte was von AirBnb, man musste sich vorab registrieren und per Code Zutritt zum Hotel und Zimmer zu bekommen. Sehr schönes neues und modernes Zimmer, tolles Bad

Cons:

Die Fenster!! Extrem laut, hatte ein Zimmer zur Straße und konnte kaum schlafen. Oropax oder ein Zimmer nach hinten buchen

Very friendly staff but facilities could be better for the price you pay.
Pros:

Staff are very kind and helpful. We were able to store our bags before check in and after check out. Great location near Stephen’s green and ideal for Dublin City marathon.

Cons:

Quite pricey but everything is in Dublin! No elevator which was not ideal as we were on the top floor. Some light stains on the bed sheets.

Good location near to park
Pros:

Excellent location with short distance to park and walk to Grafton street, friendly staff and useful lockers for leaving luggage after checking out. Good coffee machine and kettle in the room.

Cons:

Bed very firm, no breakfast facilities. Window not double glazed so quite noisy overnight (music from near by venue?). Booked 2 rooms which varied a lot in size. Smaller one more suitable for single person than couple

Uncomfortable and overpriced
Pros:

Location was good, it was clean.

Cons:

The bed was incredibly uncomfortable, there was barely any space to open my suitcase, and there was a lot of noise from the outside. I travel to Dublin frequently for work, and had never stayed here, but I will avoid it in the future.

Demasiado caro para lo que ofrece.
Pros:

La ubicación.

Cons:

Habitación y baño demasiado pequeño, sin ningún mueble para guardar ropa, el agua del baño con poca fuerza y se cortaba con 20-30 segundos y volvía. Los sábados el hotel de al lado se convierte en discoteca y no se puede dormir. Calidad/precio para nada ajustada a la realidad.

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

While the outside and foyer left a lot to be desired, the host and the room were excellent.

Kleine kamer zonder schoonmaak en veel geluidsoverlast.
Pros:

Het personeel is aardig en de locatie is fijn, het ligt in de buurt van St Stephen's park, waar je zo het centrum inloopt. Als je alleen bent en voor een paar nachten gaat (en weinig tijd op de kamer hoeft door te brengen) dan is deze locatie prima.

Cons:

Als je met 2 personen in deze kamer verblijft is het enorm klein. Het bed is geen volledig tweepersoonsbed, maar een twijfelaar. De kamer is ook best klein, je kunt niet naast het bed staan, en de koffers (twee kleine koffers) konden we moeilijk kwijt, vooral omdat er geen kast is om je kleding in op te bergen. We verbleven er 5 nachten, eigenlijk zouden we er 7 blijven, maar omdat de kamer zo oncomfortabel was voor twee personen hebben we onze vlucht omgeboekt. Ook de badkamer was zeer klein, je moest tussen de douche en de wasbak schuifelen om op de wc te kunnen zitten, en zelfs dan kwam ik (1.67m) met m'n knieën tegen de wasbak aan. De kamer was ook erg heet, ondanks dat het buiten 10-15 graden was.
Wat ik nog het vervelendste vond was dat er geen enkele schoonmaak inbegrepen was. Hier zou je 30 euro per keer extra voor moeten betalen. Dit is iets wat eigenlijk wel echt in de prijs zou moeten zitten, en omdat er al weinig ruimte was & handdoeken dus niet werden opgehaald en de vuilnisbak uitpuilde, leek de kamer nog claustrofobischer.
Als laatste was het geluid van de doorgaande weg voor de deur enorm luid. Dit stopte 's avonds & 's nachts niet. Het raam dichtmaken maakte geen verschil.

Basic room with convenient location
Pros:

Conveniently located next to major bus lines, easy to get into the center. Reception staff was really friendly and helpful. Bed is really sturdy and comfortable. Nicely renovated bathroom.

Cons:

My room was tiny, barely any space around the bed. Floor is crooked, but that's normal in these old buildings. It seems like the night club mentioned in some reviews isn't operating anymore, but the street is still rather noisy and the walls provide zero sound insulation. Could also clearly hear the conversation from the neighboring room.
