Lucan Vacation Packages

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

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.

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.

Great place & great location

Wonderful hotel in a great location will definitely be returning in the future

The location can’t be topped. Easy from the airport with a shuttle and to and from Heuston with a bus or shuttle. Walk to everything else. Bathrooms were very clean, sheets were clean. Older building with some broken things, moldy smells. Would give it 5 stars if it were half the price, but maybe that’s Dublin?

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.
