Coole Vacation Packages

Perfect location and friendly workers willing to help with all of our questions!

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

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.

Place look way better on paper was a terrible experience staff was excellent and understanding about our disappointment

The only positive is the location is excellent. And that they will allow early checking if available which is great if your coming off an overnight flight like us. The negatives: Check in process is a pain. You need an app and codes and you need to use the app to open the door instead of a simple code. But you only find this out right beforehand so you won’t know the actual address or how to get in till right when you get there basically. The staff do answer the phone and get you answers promptly but again you have to go looking for it. There are 4 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS. No mention of this on the listing. It was a major hike with our luggage and if we had any seniors or small children with us it would have been really difficult if not impossible. The apt building is a bit dirty and cruddy in the common areas. The unit itself was clean. We were in unit. It was shabby and has obvious water damage to the floors and cabinets adding to the cruddy feel of the place. Hugely overpriced in my opinion and a very far cry from the photos online. I was just very disappointed to pay that kind of money to stay somewhere obviously quite shabby.

The reviews on this have been variable so it’s time to weigh in with my own. Bottom line - if you want a decent stay for a cost-effective price, DO consider this. If you’re looking for the Ritz, it’s probably wrong for you. This is normally student accommodation and so is way better than a hostel while not being a hotel. You get your own, modern, fairly smart room with an en suite shower room and toilet. There’s also a modern shared kitchen/TV area with oven and microwave and washing up facilities just down the corridor. The crockery, kettle etc seemed to have come from Ikea and some were still in their plastic, to give you an idea. The fridge/freezer looked new as far as cleanliness goes. Yes, the shower was a bit slow to drain (design flaw I think), but that’s as bad as it got. Bella on reception was ever-pleasant and helpful and I was able to leave my suitcase for a few hours on the last day. This place is on the edge of the centre, so not a bad location. There are one or two places to eat, plus takeaways and convenience stores in easy walking distance. I personally feel I nailed it with this as a choice for a cheap city break - it met my expectations and did the job very nicely. Recommendation for a good break? Leave your car at home and order yourself a visitor’s Leap Card to get around. Dublin hates cars and has pretty great bus, train and tram (Luas) systems. I didn’t know what I was doing and I didn’t go far wrong.
