    Some more storage would be appreciated. The bathroom is too small, the tap of the sink is too "vintage" ;) The music from the pub below is very loud. Though not so bothering. Fortunately, it occurs only on week-end evenings.

    The guesthouse is very well located, a few steps away from the Liffey River, Trinity College and Temple Bar street. Many shops, coffee shops and restaurants just down the street. The main touristic sites are within foot reach. The room is clean, beds comfortable. The staff is so kind and helpful and efficient ! We ate breakfast twice at the Celtic lodge. It is a wonderful full Irish breakfast, served by lovely ladies. We had a great time there. The pub also serves good food, with good music, in an authentic Irish atmosphere.

    Rooms are a little run down, bathroom was grubby with a piece of metal sticking out of the wall, which could be dangerous. Bed / pillow uncomfortable.

    Great location with very helpful staff who gave brilliant recommendations. Cheap price for centre of Dublin. Perfect as a base, to get your head down and refresh before heading out in Dublin.

    Safe box not working, phone not working. I was there for a weekend so we could not fix the safe. Looked thought that they just know and not care to fix them.

    Loved the pubs right below, amazing food, amazing live music and lovely, cozy place to hang out. People are friendly and helpful in the reception and the pub and restaurant

    Hotel had no lift and being on the second floor required climbing 8 flights of stairs with luggage. Room was advertised as "boutique" but this was not the case as plaster was peeling from the ceiling and no chair as advertised. The bathroom was poor with toilet seat cracked although this was fixed after advising reception. The sink had taps which were push down and didn't stay on, with no plug in sink making it hard to wash. The room was very small and the bed mattress was uncomfortably soft.Heating was hotel controlled and very cold in the night with no option to switch on during storm Kathleen!!.

    Staff were fantastic and very helpful and knowledgeable. The location was good, bang in the centre of town near shops with a great traditional Irish pub underneath. Breakfast was lovely but felt a little rushed with the speed of the service.

    The room they gave me was 211. It was smelling really bad, so bad that I couldn’t stay inside. Smell when something is closed and there is no fresh air at all. First day reception gave me a fresh spray because all rooms were full. Also another bad thing is that there is a window but you can’t see outside because when you look outside it’s just walls ( it’s inside a pub) so there is no light from the sun at all.

    Nice location, helpful staff

    They say they have parking, but it's not close to the hotel and you can't get your car before 8am on Saturday mornings, so it wouldn't have worked for our flight. Pretty annoying since we booked this hotel specifically because of the parking. Lesson learned.

    The staff was nice, the room was comfortable, and it was close enough to popular sights.

    Bed was absolutely awful to sleep in, there was what felt like a dip in the middle of the mattress. Pair of dirty socks in the corner of the room upon arrival. Shower head was not ideal and we had no hot water running tap.

    Good location and good value for money. Short ten min walk from the main parts of Dublin so was great to walk back to in the evening. Staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful.

    -Hot tap was scalding hot -one of the receptionists tried to charge us €15 for breakfast when a different receptionist had informed us it was €10 if you paid downstairs -Breakfast disappointing not much continental eg no fruit , yogurt and as a vegetarian the breakfast wasn’t worth the price paid I had (2 poached eggs i asked for , hash brown , baked beans , 2 tomato’s and toast). No mushrooms or extra beans, hash browns etc

    -Central location , right next to O’Connell street, luas stops , and a pub that is great craic and plays live music every night. -Blackout blinds, rooms small but homely , cleaned every day, complimentary tea and I slept well each night. -warm shower
