Fantastic
This was a great place to stay with our 3 kids. It was nice to have a private room for the family, and each kid could have their own bed and locker compared to sharing beds at a hotel! This was the first time we tried communal bathrooms but it actually was not a big deal! The bathrooms were clean and convenient and there was a sink in the room for brushing teeth. There is a grocery store right down the street which was convenient for grabbing things before heading out to see things. The Dublin express stop, to get to the airport, was only a quick walk away and the public transport was also close by!

Convenient location, rooms and beds were decent. Biggest drawback is it’s not quiet at night especially with World Cup matches taking place.

Solo stay

Bathroom was dirty and not very clean. Sink was way to small to put things to brush my teeth and the shower was clogged so water would accumulate, and the second day there was no soap. The bed was uncomfortable and only a small space to store your phone wnd other stuff awkwardly above your head.

Stayed with family

I wish I could give this hotel a zero star rating, but unfortunately one star is the lowest I can go. I couldn’t spend the night because of how bad this hotel is. It is way over priced. Here’s a list of issues I had. Cons: -dirty room -not a safe area -door didn’t lock -door was on it’s hinges, but vary lose and almost came off when someone pounded on the door. -window to the ally did not close securely. -8 euros extra if you want a towel -3 euros extra if you want shampoo -Staff was not helpful, and even hostile to work with. -despite failing to provide the advertised accommodations, the hotel refused to process a refund.
