My room was not ready upon arrival (4.45pm) and I had to wait for it to be tidied there and then. The tv in my room was not working, the carpet wasn't hoovered, there was no toilet seat lid and the toilet seat itself was loose. The bed was uncomfortable and there were no extra bed sheets to hand, on the coldest night of the year to date. Finally, there was a man sleeping in the room below who could clearly be heard swearing continually, at his radio.
Staff (Ekram) was very friendly and the location was good for my work purpose in Drumcondra.

The top room was just a little small, but other than that, just creeky floor boards, but was good and clean otherwise. Location is not too much distance if walking from city centre (O'Connell st)
Quiet area, cosy, and staff was good and polite. Shops and local amenities close by.

“Perfect for the price and location.”

As its an upper room I could hear all of the noises coming from the hall and the room beneath me., My front door rattled when the downstairs door was opened, There was a strange popping noise that happened regularly during the night as was the sound of the water going to downstairs shower. TV didnt seem to work, tho I didnt bring this to the managements attention, be aware, the steps to this room are really really small and care is needed all the time.
The single room was warm and the ensuite was fab. It had a proper family sized kettle and plenty of tea bags, the room had just been prepared for me and was in great condition. Bright.

Said there was parking but it was just down a back alley and it was an issue that we had 2 cars. The place was very untidy and very grubby, could do with a big clean. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

we booked very late because of booking.ie making a error, of which I was very cross. we were happy to get anywhere at such a late date and it was in a perfect location to the 3 Arena. they say you pay for what you get, but in this case I think we got more. thank you. we will be back.

Very Poor

The bed had stains on it. In the toilet there were exposed electrical cables. We were sitting in our room and the staff just came in without knocking and told us to pay. We arrived at 4pm and our room still wasn't ready. The walls and carpet were filthy and when we came back after our room was ready for us the door was left open with our bags inside. Would not recommend anyone to even consider staying in this place you should not be expected to stay in a place of this awful quality.

“Small, noisy and cramped with 'parking' being a dodgy alley”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Room was tiny with a low ceiling meaning even at 5ft 5' I spent half my time hunched over. The B&B advertises parking as a facility at the property- in factct the available parking was an alley way a few doors down from the house big enough for one car, not wide enough to get in and out of the car and seemingly blocking in residents. This is not a parking facility. The B&B only took cash. And also it's just a bed (no breakfast) making an €88 box room a night very expensive. Noisy (kept up and woken up) and cold in the morning.

House appeared dusty - looked as though building work was in process, or had finished.
Location was excellent for purpose of visit. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom and shower facilities looked new and were clean. Parking space was available. Mick, night manager, friendly and helpful.

Matress all stained covered over with just a sheet. Room itself a shoebox, washroom no space to use basic facilities . I paid €110 for this KIP !! Stayed in the HAMPTON HOTEL on the previous night for €130 which was excellent and value for money.
This place is a disgrace ! A complete let down, can't figure out how this place got a 3 star rating.

When we arrived, we attempted to contact the owner 5 times over 2 hours to ask if it is possible to leave our things before checkin (we attempted to call between 8am to 10am) When we finally got through to someone, i asked if that was ok and was told yes and that someone would let us in in a couple of minutes. We knocked on the door multiple times over 40 mins, attempted to call the number on the door of the property and only when the cleaner came out for a smoke did we get let in (10.45am) we explained the situation to the cleaner and he said he was not informed of this. I asked if the room was ready for us to leave our things and he told us that we can check in early, gave us the keys and that was it. We were told we could pay later so we left that till later. As soon as we entered the property, there was dirty linen everywhere in the corridor downstairs (understandable considering we were early what i did not expect was a wardrobe door left outside our room for the entire stay, and for downstairs not to be tidied at all during our stay. We have not had any access to the communal area and were not explained anything at all on our arrival. When we entered the room it was not to the standard a 3* should be. Black marks along one wall, a hole in another. The room was not clean and did not feel at all welcoming like the pictures showed. The room was cold, and the bathroom window does not close properly, letting the cold in throughout the stay. One of the lights have not been working at all in front of the floor length mirror which is irritating. We contacted the owner again to get the wifi password at around 9pm on tuesday. The owner seemed surprised that we were already at the property and asked if we had a room. I informed him we checked in this morning. He said that he will ask someone to bring the wifi details asap to us so we could use that. We did not receive the wifi details for the room till the evening wed. This is unacceptable.
was walking distance to centre

A bedside lamp and a hair dryer would have been nice to have in the bedroom.
Location was good for me as I needed to be in that area for work. Staff were polite and friendly. I slept really well as my room was in the back of the property and there was no noise at all at night as the location was quiet.

“As this property was advertised as a B & B we think this is a gross MISREPRESENTATION!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
This was advertised as a B&B but there was NO breakfast on offer not even a cup of tea although there was a kettle and tea bags in the room (we were told we could get a breakfast in a pizza restaurant on the corner of the road we checked and we could at a cost of 9.95 euros each) But this didn't open til 10am no good to us as we were going for a ferry. It was advertised as having TV this didn't work, and a hairdryer, refrigerator, ironing facilities, free toileteries there were non of these. As we were only there for one night we could live with it but if we had booked for longer we would have been very unhappy. We parked outside the property and were told this was ok (it was dark when we arrived) in the morning when we left we saw a parking meter, if we had been late leaving we could well have got a parking ticket. We think we should have been warned of this!
The room was small and clean and the bed was comfortable and it was very nicely carpeted
