A cozy little nest within the city
Pros:

The location is amazing for exploring Dublin.
The style of the hotel is very modern and cool- and the ecological aspect is a huge plus. Breakfast was fantastic.

Cons:

Beware of space limitations in the rooms. They are quite compact.

Zu klein und zu teuer.
Pros:

Die Lage ist großartig

Cons:

Das Zimmer ist wahnsinnig klein. 10 qm für zwei Personen mit Koffer ist kaum machbar. Die Anordnung wenig durchdacht. Das Bett zum Beispiel ist derartig in die Ecke gestellt, dass einer über den anderen steigen muss. Die Toilette Klein, mit einer hellhörigen Glastür zu schließen.
Das Toilettenpapier ist abgezählt und sehr knapp.
Licht, Reinigungswunsch und alles ist auf einem elektronischen Masterbrett zu regeln. Das Problem ist, es ist nicht selbsterklärend und macht sich gerne selbstständig. So hatten wir an einem Tag keine Reinigung. Von frischen Gläsern oder Handtüchern ganz zu schweigen.
Kaffee und Tee wurde nicht aufgefüllt. Und das, obwohl wir fünf Tage da waren.
Die Reinigung war sehr oberflächlich. Überall waren Schmutznester.
Das Frühstück ist zwar reichhaltig, aber es wird so gut wie gar nicht nachgelegt. Wenn man um 7:00 Uhr da ist, bekommt man die guten Stücken vom Obstsalat. Ab 7:30 Uhr ist er ausgesucht und wird nicht erneuert.
Überall muss man Brandschutztüren und den Fahrstuhl mit der Karte freischalten. Das nervt und ist unnötig.
Die Nebenstraße ist klein und schmutzig. Traniges Fischfett vom Restaurant nebenan wabert durch die Straße. Es stinkt!
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmte daher auf keinen Fall. Für die Hälfte des Preises wäre es okay gewesen.
Wer darüber hinwegsieht und nur auf die Lage zielt, ist hier sicherlich richtig.
Obwohl unsere Ansprüche bei reinen Städtetouren an das Hotel nicht sehr hoch sind, sind wir hier leider negativ überrascht worden.

Spartan but comfortable and good location.
Pros:

Good location, clean, stylish, nice breakfast, eco.

Cons:

Minimalism is ok but it is a touch Spartan without much room but as was staying alone on business trip it didn’t matter so much. Arrived Sunday evening and had booked dinner at 9pm on open Table, confirmed etc. bit day before I was due to arrive had message from restaurant saying they needed me to book a earlier table as kitchen would be closed by time my booking had been made. I protested as I would it get to hotel til 8:45 pm earliest . They relented but as soon as I arrived at reception they asked me to make my selection . I sat down before 9pm and noticed other people were still ordering food- so kitchen wasn’t closed after all? Strange palava and unwelcoming which tainted my experience.

Cosy rooms at super central, yet quiet location
Pros:

The room was small, but very well designed and the bed was very comfortable.
The location was fantastic -- super central, yet quiet at night.
A/C would keep the tempearture just right regardless of the outside weather.

Cons:

The breakfast buffet was pretty expensive at €20+ and could have been better for that price.
The electronic controls in the room were a bit difficult to figure out and honestly, would probably have been better as normal buttons.
No power outlet on the right side of the bed.

Super duży apartament w centrum miasta
Pros:

Lokalizacja, lokalizacja, lokalizacja. W samym centrum Dublinu. Wszystko w zasięgu spaceru. Apartament z cudownym widokiem z salonu. Pełna kuchnia, więc samemu można gotować, jeśli ktoś chce.

Cons:

Niestety w apartamencie są schody, więc trochę trzeba się nachodzić. Na szczęście dostęp do schodów przez drzwi, więc małe dzieci są bezpieczne. Dostęp do apartamentu aż dwoma windami, ale spokojnie wózkiem da radę.

We loved our stay at Wren Urban Nest- would definitely stay again! I’ve already recommended it to friends traveling to
Pros:

Gorgeous apartment- perfect location- clean and comfortable- awesome views

Cons:

WiFi problems at first that staff couldn’t fix, but I finally reprogrammed the WiFi and then it was fine. Warm with no AC, but that’s normal. Staff was often slow to respond via text
