County Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Holidays from NZ$914

What I liked: The staff were generally helpful and provided a good service. The restaurant/bar food and drinks were of a high standard, including breakfast which was very good. The restaurant has nice decor and is probably the nicest place in the area. The bathroom was nice and the bed was comfortable. Good public transport links by bus nearby. What I didn’t like: bar/restaurant was expensive. The area of Dublin the hotel is in is quite rundown and very congested, particularly with cars (the whole city is car heavy though). The room itself was quite bare, definitely had a budget feel, but was also a bit dirty (marks and stains on the walls and some on the curtain). There were some sockets above the bed which made a high pitched ringing sound and made it difficult to sleep, had to use my earphones to block it out. I told the staff but they were unable to fix or offer a different room. They said this was the same in every room. A few things were a bit broken or shoddy, like some of the tv channels not working or repeating, the card socket for electricity was hanging out of the wall (which seemed dangerous), the shower head was missing some rubber bits, flickering light in the bathroom, etc. Also, they need to cover the pastries at the front desk and at the back for breakfast. They were covered in flies!

Love the location! Great restaurants, walkable and super nice property.

We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The rooms are clean but small. A couple of nights here are perfect but might be a little too small for a longer period of time. The staff were very friendly.

In the right area of the city, close to all the pubs and sights. Room was a bit hot without AC, but the free water and fruit each day was a nice touch.
