Extremely pleasant stay in a leafy suburb of Dublins south side
Pros:

Yet another extremely pleasant stay in Waterloo Lodge. Spacious room, super-comfortable bed, good TV with lots of channels and other digital options. And in the morning an excellent breakfast at a very reasonable price. The area is also in one of the nicest parts of Dublin which is quite peaceful at night.

Cons:

Nothing

Muito agradável
Pros:

Localização: região. linda, tranquila, central. Atendimento da equipe (Matilde, maravilhosa), quarto confortável.

Cons:

Já era di meu conhecimento a ausência das comodidades, mas, se contasse com frigobar e ar condicionado, seria perfeito.

Nette Unterkunft in ruhiger Ecke
Pros:

Ein nette Unterkunft in der ruhigeren Ecke von Dublin, mit sehr hilfsbereiten Personal. Das Zimmer hatte alles was man in Hinblick auf eine Unterkunft für einen Städtetrip braucht. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht probiert.

Cons:

Leider gab es an beiden Morgenden an denen wir da waren einen Feueralarm (Fehlalarm), der uns einmal auch geweckt hatte. Sonst alles gut!

Super consigliato!
Pros:

La struttura è molto bella, calda e pulita… tutte le mattine la camera viene pulita, rifatto il letto, cambiati gli asciugamani e riforniti i saponi. Si trova in un quartiere molto tranquillo, in una bella via. Si dorme molto bene sia per il silenzio che per il materasso comodo. Si trova a circa 2 km dal centro, 10 minuti a piedi oppure la fermata è sotto l’albergo. Il personale è gentile e sempre sorridente.
