If you're after a simple pied a terre in the centre of Dublin, The Earl Hotel Leeson Street, Sonder, is cetainly recommended. That said, the emphasis is on "simple": the rooms are clean and neat, but quiet small, and there is no lift to get you to those on the upper floors. The venue is pretty much "room only", so you'll need to find food somewhere else (hardly a major endeavour, given the location). Underlining that is the price: you'll be paying to be in the centre of Dublin, so the price can feel much higher than the room should command.

I felt that the Earl was a great place to stay; it was very walkable to St. Stephens Green and beyond. The room type was cozy enough for me, a solo traveler. I did think the bathroom was a tight space but I managed fine. The surprise was that I was on the 3rd floor without an elevator; I hadn't been aware of that when booking. I managed with my suitcase and the staff had offered to help with luggage. I'd stay again but on a lower floor.

What we didn’t like was how HOT the room was. They had put 3 fans in the room prior to us checking in, the window opened a little, but there was no proper airflow. The fans felt like they were just blowing around hot air. We had brought chocolate from our precious destination, it completely melted and we had to toss it. Also, we asked for ice, there’s no ice machine, we were given the smallest ice cube tray we’ve ever seen, the tiny ice cubes lasted only seconds in our drinks. For a Marriott property, it should have been better equipped for this scenario.

The staff was lovely but the bed sheets and bed were a challenge. The mattress wasn’t comfortable at all and the “fitted sheet” was just a sheet so it slid off the silk-like mattress immediately every time we got in bed. We, along with other guests, also struggled to get in. We originally planned for early check in but after waiting at the door for someone to help us and let us in, we found out that the code to get in was due to the prior person not closing out their cc properly with the company… not our problem…but it became our problem which was frustrating to say the least.

Pros: -The neighborhood: close enough to main city center and destinations, but not in the super touristy area -Toiletries were excellent, and self-serve refills on towels, etc. was convenient -Luggage storage was easy, the locker style was nice. -TV with Chromecast Cons: -Room was unbearably hot. Had to keep window open and fan running, but truly to no avail as it was still hard to get a full nights rest in these conditions. -Additionally, the window overlooked a busy corner on top of a night club that had cars honking until 4am. -Our room had a distinct mildew smell and visible mold in the bathroom. There was dried vomit on the wall. Sonder customer service offered a 50€ voucher for this which I found offensive. -Sheets were thin and uncomfortable.

There is no AC so it’s best to keep the windows open. They provide a fan but it’s not that powerful. Having the windows open means that you will hear people partying in the streets through the night. They do provide ear plugs which helped on the second night

I liked staying here because it was accessible to a bus stop, airport coach, coffees shops and food places. The concierge was really nice and helpful and was able to call taxis for me when I needed it. The only downfall was no elevators and the temperature was hot/cold but Europe is known for no elevators in most places. As for the hot/cold, we didn't stay in the room often so it was fine for us. I would highly recommend this place since it was a cute boutique hotel.
