“Good Location and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I booked a two bedroom apartment for my family, when we were staying in Dublin.
We checked in at their office in Parnell Street, the apartment wasn't ready so we at were able to leave our luggage, park our car and were tolded that the apartment would be ready after 2 pm. When we got our apartment it was clean and comfortable everything we needed was there, the apartment was located in the city centre so it was ideal for getting to the attractions and sight seeing.
I would recommend these apartments because of the location and the price was very reasonable, Eur99 for 4 of us per day.

“TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

The people who work there do not have an idea of what customer satisfaction and care is. These apartments are terribly dirty, the TV did not work and they told us they could not solve the problem, as soon as you move something out of its place there is dirt everywhere, in the kitchen and bedrooms, humidity in the walls that can also be smelled, etc. Although we payed 2 months in advance the people in reception did not have our apartment. Nor did they put the baby cot we asked for. Thay say they have daily housekeeping... this means they just change the vathroom towels (if they remember to do it!!) and nothing else at all. They do not even make beds or clean a thing... what a terrible experience!!! like a nightmare we were trapped there for paying in advance, no one would reimburse ud the money...

“VERY GOOD!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2010

I've stayed in Dublin 3 or 4 times in the past and never had a nicer place for the price we spent. The apartment is massive and easily accommodates 5 people. It's very well decorated in a modern clean style and has a great balcony on each bedroom so you can sit outside on those warmer lighter nights.
That said there were a few bad points. The shower was absolutely freezing every time, no-matter what we did it never warmed up! The alleyway in which the apartments are situated look like something from a low budget horror film, not too bad if your five big lads walking around together but I certainly wouldn't recommend girls traveling on their own to wander down there late at night. That said the security on the building was pretty good. I would put this place down for a great location (15 mins from Temple Bar area) at a great price.

“They could be great, but are being let down!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009

person found this review helpful

Ok, first let me start by saying I'd read the reviews and got a tad panicky as I was travelling with my husband for his 30th birthday weekend and our friends, however, I like to make up my own mind so figured I would check them out anyway.
We arrived at the apartments and I have to say 'thank god' we weren't staying in the hotel, the receptionist was totally clueless! We were handed our keys and directed to the apartments at the back of the hotel. There is no lift and the 2 x bed apts are at the top so expect a few flights of stairs. When we got into the apartment I was quite shocked at the size, we had a penthouse 2 storey apartment, living quarters upstairs and bedrooms downstairs. For 'health & safety' reasons we weren't allowed the key to the balcony, maybe they've had a few jumpers ;-), however the apartment itself was more than we'd expected. If only they spent a little time on them all. We managed to see 3 other apartments because the rooms weren't exactly what we asked for and a light fitting was hanging off the wall but we did have the biggest of all the 2 beds so stuck with what we had.
One thing, I wouldn't recommend these apartments to families if you intend to go out after dark, the taxi driver told us some pretty horrifying stories about the area, it's about a 15 minute walk to Temple Bar/O'Connell Bridge and I certainly wouldn't want to take my daughter there now I know.
The kitchens are fully equipped with everything you would need self catering and the bathrooms are nice marble wetrooms as stated, but if you're larger than a 10 yr old you may benefit from taking a decent size bath towel.
Amenities are all accessible and taxi's are available on the road at all hours.
We had quite a nice stay to be honest, Dublin is a great city (although unbelievably expensive) and the Irish are really friendly and accomodating.

“Great location, nicely kept apartment - no wi-fi though promised”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2009

Stayed for 8 days at the aparments. Got a nice 1 bedroom apartment with fully stocked kitchen. Great location with walking distance to all in Dublin. Only downsides: no wi-fi at apartment (or hotel) though promised. The hotel staff directed us to a nearby Internet café at own cost. The front door of the building slams very loudly, so be prepared to be awoken at times by people coming home late.
