Great central location but you get what you pay for. Room is basic but everything worked as it should (I needed the shower on top form when I did and it certainly was!) and the bed was quite comfortable. The place overall is a bit maze like and could be a bit cleaner but for the price (€55 albeit with a voucher), it did the job.

check in was made difficult as partner arrived before myself and was made to pay 100 euro deposit to enter the room. the hotel and room were not very clean. the hotel was so hot and the noise from outside bars made it difficult to sleep and a very strong smell of cannibis around the hotel throughout the whole stay. overall we were disappointed with our stay and will not be booking again

Location: Good, in the heart of Dublin! People are not lying about the noise, it is LOUD. however, bring ear plugs and you'll be fine, bed comfy. Free tea and coffee in the room. For a one or two night stay and if your a heavy sleeper or just want an ideal place in the city I would recommend this hotel.

Not as much of a dump as other reviews might suggest. Photos of this hotel are also wildly misleading. More of a hostel than a hotel which doesn’t reflect the price. Decent location close to the city but the local area is rough

This is loosely called a hotel! No public toilet or facilities to change or freshen up if rooms are not ready. Outside broken sign, filthy dirty and up 2 stairs to get to reception. The showers are all mould, broken door in our room. Extremely noisy and also not the safest area to be in. Images are not one bit reflective of what’s online. Might have been 20 years ago. Totally disappointed given room was only ready from 4pm and €200 for one night.

The rom itself was fine, though the bathroom floor covering had a large hole in it. The hallway, stairs and reception are like travelling back in time - creaky, very stained old carpets. These areas are not shown in this listing. Misleading. It was very overpriced for the standard. If you do stay, ask for a room away from the noise, as it is above a nightclub, and rooms at the back are above a gigantic beer garden. Staff - absolutely lovely and helpful. Let us store our bags for the day.
