Didn't realize there was no maid service for the length of our stay. So we asked for towels after day 1 and the front desk staff said they would be sent up. It never happened. I asked again a day later and they said they would be sent up right away. Once again, no towels showed up. Also the lighting in the room was insufficient to see anything. And finally, no power in the washroom to plug in shavers in order to shave.

Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Location is excellent. I did find it difficult to keep the room cool (but I also like it really cool while sleeping). I was disappointed to not get a room with a washer/dryer. That was my main reason for booking this location given that I was one week into a 2 week trip when I arrived. Apparently you have to specifically request one when you arrive (so note that if it's important to you). They did have laundry facilities in the basement but was expensice to use.

Liked: Cleanliness

Bit run down, dorm vibe rather than hotel vibe

Felt more like a dorm room than a reasonably expensive hotel room. Concrete floor, bit of a 70s vibe. Also felt like maintenance costs were being restricted - lamp didn't work, heated towel rack didn't work, water leakage inside wall creating wood swelling around the door. Unfortunately also construction on a massive high rise tower outside our window that will be ongoing for a long time. On the positive side, staff were friendly and location was good. We had booked a second stay at Zanzibar but decided to cancel and book elsewhere.

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.
