We booked the apartment on the internet knowing that it was located in the middle of Temple Bar and would be in the noisy and busy area. However we thought being a penthouse we would be well above the noise with views over Dublin. How wrong we were. The bedrooms were one storey above ground level with paper thin windows. You could hear conversations between people sitting at the cafe across the road! On top of the expected nightlife noise we also had to contend with bin ben wagons repeatedly coming past with flashing lights and the noise of empty bottles and cans. The noise was slightly quieter in the second floor living area so had this been a proper penthouse the noise would have been bearable.
On top of the misleading location the apartment was also dirty. We ended up buying our own cleaning products to clean the surfaces and floors as they were sticky and grubby. There were no lights in the kitchen, empty bear bottles and stubs left out side the back bedroom, make up smeared all over the window and rips in the settee.
There is also a distinct lack of storage, one wardrobe in the front double bedroom which blocks the one and only window, a set of draws in the single bedroom, where the bed is also like sleeping on a park bench it is that hard.
I have emailed StayDublin about out stay but have yet to hear anything back from them. Would only recoomend if you dont mind only having 4 hours sleep tops per night and a bad back!
