Very Good

Was ok for short stay, but wouldn’t stay long. No staff on site, but they respond quickly to messages and are helpful. As far as the room, the blinds were broken, the wood trim in the bathroom was rotted and you could hear every step from above room. Bed also wasn’t comfortable and had dips in it.
The property is in a very nice location south of the city and there is several bus stops with in a 5-10 minute walk from the property. The rooms are ok, not bad but not really the cleanest. There is no staff on property except to clean up after checkout. The check in process is very easy without having staff on the property.
We arrived quite late, room had not been cleaned from previous guests’ stay. Bathroom and shower had hair in it. Bedsheets had been slept in. Carpet was filthy. Towel was folded but when opened had make up stains on it. Tried to email and call hotel no response until more than 12 hours later, with “sorry about the inconvenience “ they say security person is there, we saw no one.
If you choose to stay, you need to request housekeeping prior to your arrival.
We checked in late at night and have first noticed the bathroom fan that was super loud. We tried closing the bathroom door, however the fan was on the whole night.
In addition, another guest was able to enter our room and unlocked our door because the management 'mistakenly' gave 1 room to 2 different guests. I was already resting when I saw them open the door. In full shock that we had to ring the management that same night to move us to another room because of these 2 issues that happened within a span of 3 hours upon checking in. We demanded a refund due to this experience however this wasn't granted. Never got another room as they managed to fix the fan on our second night (out of 4 nights being there) therefore we had 2 sleepless nights because of the loud fan noise.
Since they haven't moved us to another room, they have mentioned to change the locks as I expressed my concern about our security since knowing another guest knows the door code and was able to unlock this. Again, unfortunately they never changed this.
The room and the location was alright. It's the experience that was disturbing and unsettling. Never got compensated for the bad experience despite raising concerns.
A lot of room for customer service improvement here.
DIRTY- Terrible Experience. Wouldn’t recommend.
On arrival we noticed that the carpet was filthy- I’m talking debris, fake eyelashes and new and old stains.
Also the shower mat was folded away very wet.
As you can see in the picture they ask you to email them if you want the room cleaned a day in advance. So we resigned ourselves and emailed. No response. Nobody came to clean. The second day we saw a cleaner working on the room next to ours, asked her if she could please JUST hover. Mind you it was a tiny room. She said yes and didn’t do it. Nobody came to clean or responded us in 3 days.
Spring old mattress to make your experience a bit more tiring. And sink in the room, not inside the bathroom. Can hear other guests snore.
Access to the guesthouse and room with codes so they don’t require staff- no one at reception when we arrived or in the mornings, regardless of what the information might say.
A hostel would have been cleaner and cheaper for what we received.
Location was south of Dublin City Ctr which was OK especially since it was harder to find accommodations at the time of booking.
It would be helpful if pre-arrival instructions provided some instructions on how to get to the location from airport. Just enough for first-timers to save some time...and possibly $$...if so inclined. We were able to take a local TFI bus and bought a 24-hour pass from the airport convenience store at Terminal 1.
The 14/15 bus line was close to the room and it got us into (and out of) the city in about 20 minutes.
The self check-in was fine but I barely received my entry codes in time for my arrival.
The room (304) was hot with the unexpected nice & sunny weather because it was only room that faces the sun. Only one window could open fully and we had to try and use fan to clear the warm air out each night. We were lucky to have cooler nights in the month of May.
The fridge was not working properly so we could not keep any food in our room...the fridge had cold walls inside but temperature was not even cold enough to make soda pop cold.
Not having a front desk person made it more difficult to have conversation on other issues and feedback thoughts that we were having. It would have been good to have some kind of personal touch at some point.

Good location. Clear check-in instructions. Nice to have a coffee machine. Room was on the smaller side, shower sprayed onto the floor, toilet was tight and the coffee machine needed cleaning out as stale water had been left in it. Room was really hot and restricted windows. Quilt thick, pillows x2 per person and I had to fold in home to get any volume. Half the tv channels didn’t work and people park like idiots. Lines need spraying or painting with how you want people to park. Location is fantastic, on a bus route and the room was plenty adequate for a stopover! Communal area downstairs to use too.
