    The walls were very thin I could hear the man next door and the floor really creeks. The bathroom floor was sticky. And the tap water pressure was very bad. There is no kitchen so no breakfast but there are loads of restaurants and coffee shops near by. From what I paid €81 it was worth it , it’s a lot cheaper than the nearby hotels! I don’t like hostels so this was perfect for me. There isn’t a lift in the building I was on the top floor (3rd floor) room 113 I had to go up 6 flights of stairs so it’s not wheelchair accessible. There wasn’t any side lamps in the room only the main light.

    The location was amazing only around the corner from the centre and 6 mins away from the train station. The streets were noisy but you’d expect that from being so close to the streets, I didn’t mind as I live in London so I had no trouble sleeping but if you aren’t used to it I would either find a different property or get ear buds. The room was very clean and I got small bottles of shampoo and soap and a hair cap. There is a kettle with coffee and tea in the room.

    Could be cleaner. That's not to say that it was dirty, but for this price you'd expect more.

    Location was excellent and the room was big enough and comfortable. But not the cleanest room and rather noisy as well.

    Rude staff

    It's the rudeness of the staff this time that prompted this review. I am very tolerant and have stayed in this problematic place many times because it's convenient, but the rudeness of the staff on duty, especially when combined with what they see fit to charge for a weekend night, is just not acceptable. Not all the staff in this place are rude some are pleasant but this time I arrived and they ignored me for five minutes, didn't greet me and snapped that I didn't have a booking. They continued this way despite the large amount they were charging, no welcome at all. They run the place as a migrant and homeless centre as well as a guest house and put the actual guests on the very top floor even if you email ahead and say you're disabled, so I got to the top floor and found there was no toilet paper and the shower drain was blocked. It wasn't worth going all the way back down just to deal with rude staff who would do nothing. And they really were rude. As is usual in this place, the walls are paper thin and the migrant family in the next room were horrendously noisy. Its not a place you can relax and enjoy a film in, and at the price I paid, it should be. I have to wear earplugs and headphones if I stay here. I've no doubt that speaking to the rude staff about the excessive noise which is usual here would be a waste of time. The television didn't work either, which is usual here as well. Don't expect basic comforts here, just bring your streaming device and watch online as WiFi is one of the only things that works. If you stay here, bring your own toilet paper and tea things and toiletries as they are extremely unreliable in what they provide and you may get toiletries or paper or you may not, you might be left with milk and sugar but not tea, or tea but no milk or sugar, no spoons or stirrers, and so on. The state of the room is hit and miss and you may have curtains that block out the light at the front or you may not.

    Its convenient, which is why I stay despite the dangerous area.

    I was in a room on the top floor. This was up six flights of stairs. There is no lift. It was exhausting to climb up and down every day . I asked for a room lower down but she said there was none available

    The bed sheets were dirty, but I didn’t notice until the next morning The neighbourhood is busy but a bit seedy. (I know Dublin quite well, so I recommend being cautious at night time, especially north of the river).

    affordable and quite comfortable I had a room at the back, so there was no street noise The staff were friendly

    Nothing too major, but the water pressure in the shower was a bit low and the TV didn't work. Since it's an old building, there isn't an elevator, so if you are a person with reduced mobility, I wouldn't recommend this place to you.

    After reading some reviews, I was a bit scared of what I would find, but the place is just enough for the price. I've lived some years in Dublin before and this is exactly what you would find when looking at apartments to rent in the city center: The building is old, but the room was clean, warm, and everything's doing its job. You can see they tried to make things nicer, like removing the old carpet from the rooms. It might not be the fanciest place, but it does the job for a short stay in the city and the location is great.

    Being on the top floor meant a lot of stairs.

    On the unfashionable north side of Dublin, but not a long walk to get to the better parts of town.
