Basic boarding-house style accommodation for travellers seeking a low-cost, no-frills option in a central location
Pros:

I booked a stay at City Nest. based on its strong reviews on Booking.com, so I was disappointed that my experience didn’t quite live up to expectations.

The positives, the location is excellent — around a 10-minute walk to many of Dublin’s main attractions, including Temple Bar and the Bord Gáis Theatre. There are also handy amenities nearby such as Tesco and several eateries. The proprietor has added some thoughtful touches, including tea and coffee facilities in the room and complimentary toiletries.

Cons:

There were a number of issues that affected my stay. Check-in is strictly from 4pm, with access dependent on collecting a key from a lockbox once the code is issued at that time. I found the lockbox difficult to open, which wasn’t the most welcoming start.

Although I had booked a single room, it was in need of maintenance. A loose floor strip (see photo) moved each time I entered or left the room. The towel provided was marked (photos attached), though to be fair, when I raised this with the proprietor — who is based on the ground floor — fresh towels were brought up promptly.

The biggest issue was the bed. It sagged noticeably and creaked with any movement, which resulted in a very poor night’s sleep. I also found what appeared to be a bug on the floor, which was concerning.

Overall, this is very basic boarding-house style accommodation. It may suit travellers seeking a low-cost, no-frills option in a central location, but unfortunately it wasn’t comfortable enough for me, and I wouldn’t choose to stay again.
