Perfect for location - within walking distance to Trinity College and Temple bar. 10-15 minute walk from the River Liffey also. Clean, spacious apartment with everything you could need for a stay including iron/ironing board, pots/pans, cutlery etc. Couldn’t fault it! Easy process to pay deposit (receive an email link 24hrs before) and key box code / access details are sent through once apartment is ready. Only issue we had was finding the internal key box but once found was easy to access.

Our stay was very comfortable. It was well equipped. The apartment was clean and convenient for all city attractions and amenities. Only one observation. I only received the request for the security deposit less than four hours before we arrived when I had switched my phone off for our flight. Hence I didn't get final check in details until just before we arrived.

Check in nightmare

Had to chase on the day to get link to pay deposit despite getting passive aggressive emails saying I couldn’t check in until I had paid the deposit. Should have been able to check in at 16.00 but had to phone at 17.00 to try and get check in details. Unnecessary stress. Exposed brickwork is ok but exposed plasterboard looks dirty and unappealing

All registration is done remotely. Never a face to talk to and when they say 4 o’clock registration. That’s what they mean.if you want or need to talk to a face, forget it.

The check in process is ludicrous. You have to call a call centre in who knows where that you can barely hear to get a code to let you into the building. Once inside there is nowhere to leave your cases or bags and you can’t check in till 4 o’clock so we had no option but to leave them next to a door until our return. In all I made 12 calls trying to sort out check in and the bag fiasco. The room itself was grotty. The walls are all discoloured and dirty and the toilet wasn’t cleaned and I don’t know what was on the bed spread but it was brown. In my opinion, don’t bother booking here it’s not worth the hassle, it’s grotty and there are no actual staff to talk to.

My comments are similar to others posted. The check-in process could be a lot smoother. The unit we had, 203, was perfectly adequate. Bed, tv, small bath, kitchenette, all good. On-site staff was super friendly and helpful. Emails to staff for additional supplies or maid services were address immediately or at requested times. Unit was close to Trinity College but far enough removed from crowd noise. Clean, modern unit. Would definitely stay again.

It was fine once you got in. It was horrible getting in. There is no staff on site. They require a deposit through an online portal that didn’t work. Once paid, they didn’t send entry codes at the checkin time. I had to call them and remind them I had paid the deposit before they sent the codes. Stay elsewhere. This place isn’t worth the trouble.

I would rate this place a 1 star on the check in process. No check in counter. It was self check in. I got there and nobody was there. Had to call on my cell phone and probably spent 20 bucks in phone charges trying to get into the building. A few other customers were really unhappy about the check in process also. Part of it was Expedia's fault for not displaying the fine print of self check in on their page. Once i got in to the room i was pleasantly impressed with the room. Clean, comfortable beds spacious. If the check in process was easier i would have rated this place 4 stars. Just beware no hotel clerk will be waiting for you.

Property was nice, clean & tidy. The additional €100 security charge on top of standard price of a room is a bit high in my opinion, and you must pay this charge before you receive the entrance codes. However would I stay there again yes
