We tried for two days to have our shower unblocked, and our fridge never worked at all. Very frustrating.

It was great. Peaceful. Lots to do. Gorgeous food in Tom's bar.

Great place & great location

This is one of those places where you seldom see staff. Everything can be done through your phone. Check in / check out / door locks / luggage storage can all be done without involving a human - which I didn't mind.Hotel was clean and very well situated. Rooms were a bit "thumpy." I kept hearing what sounded like furniture being moved around or sacks of potatoes being tossed around. Never figured out what the commotion was, but it was consistent. Overall a recommend.

I booked Parnell Corner Apartments in July during high season. While centrally located north of the Liffey, the area is run-down, dirty, and unsafe. We witnessed three fights in one hour and multiple drug deals at Parnell/Moore St, forcing us to avoid walking at night. The apartment was a nightmare. Facing south during a heatwave with 15+ hours of sun, it had zero A/C or fans. Opening windows for air let in deafening noise from the tram (every 10-15 mins) and street shouting; earplugs and white noise apps couldn't block it. The main bed was saggy, lumpy, and lacked support, pillows were paper-thin, and there was no top sheet—only a heavy winter comforter. The "blackout" curtains failed at 5 AM. Floors were filthy with foot-pinching cracks. The bathroom had water damage, mold, and a poor layout that flooded the floor. The water heater rarely worked, forcing us into cold showers. It was advertised with a "washer and dryer," but there is no dryer, only a rack. Logistics are terrible: four locks to enter, and check-out rules require leaving keys inside, which kills elevator access so you must haul bags down stairs. Worst of all was a severe privacy breach. Staff entered while we were out and replaced our dining table without notice. Management took 15 hours to reply, blaming a system error. This violated their own terms for non-emergency access. With no in-room safe, we felt unsafe leaving belongings. It negatively affected our family trip; do not book here.

We were surprised by the check in process. You have to collect your keys quite far from the apartment. So plan for a delay to use transit or a two-way taxi fare. The apartment was dirty. Mould in the closet. The beds were terrible (one like an air mattress & the other was hard as a board). The pillows were so used they were hard packed. The air freshener system is needed because a sewage smell came from one bathroom. The photos used to advertise the unit were not the same as the unit we stayed in. The unit has no views. It was an interior unit that looks only into courtyards. It was dark because it was on the first floor and the perimeter units towered over us. The only sunlight that came in was a reflection off of other apartment windows. The air freshener system malfunctioned & needed repair as it beeped every 10 seconds. The washing machine broke. We tried to spend as little time there as possible. The only thing I can say that is positive is that it’s located on a LUAS line.
