Straightforward accommodation in heart of Dublin

Conveniently located but in a very touristy part of Dublin close to Temple Bar. Room was quiet and clean but not much character (a bit like an IKEA showroom). Staff were helpful and pleasant. Lighting in rooms is very dim with overly complicated controls. Our room had a kitchen (which we had no need for) but I may have missed this on the booking. There is a gym but, in general, it felt like a "no frills" accommodation.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and comfortable room. Very comfortable bed. Could adjust thermostats to our personal liking. Very good quality shampoo and conditioner. Tasty, quick breakfast cafe on premises. Other very good breakfast spots very nearby for variety.The only things that I didn’t like were that: 1) there is a massive construction site behind the hotel -although we were up at 7am and out of the hotel by 9am, so it wasn’t a problem, and honestly, it was pretty interesting to see how a building is built. 2) whenever we needed the window curtain closed, the room felt somewhat dim because the various lamps left a couple of darker areas. They earned their 4 star review however because they cheerfully gave/loaned us things we needed. They found a power outlet converter for us when we really needed one which was a huge relief.

We initially had a room that had an issue with a terrible odor coming from the shower drain. They were prompt to provide us with a new room. Turned out to be a better space than our first one. I appreciated their willingness to help resolve the issue.

Excellent Aparthotel - would recommend.

Really happy with our stay - staff were really welcoming, the reception smelled great and was well maintained. The room isn't cleaned daily (which is not a complaint - I prefer the more sustainable approach) so when I had to pop down to reception to ask for more coffee sachets, the staff were really helpful. The room was perfectly proportioned with excellent amenities and spotlessly clean. We chose to use the kitchen for two dinners, the correct utensils were available for a basic meal. The bed was comfy, and the sofa was of decent size to sit us two adults. Couldn't fault the location either. We had a great stay - thank you to the cleaning and reception staff!
