Guest Reviews
- Vito (8/5): Silenzioso e tranquillo, perfetto per un viaggio a due! - L'appartamento riservato alle prenotazioni tramite booking era quello al piano interrato, tipico in molte abitazioni irlandesi, ma nonostante questo era confortevole, riscaldato e pulito. Arredato con gusto e con diverse amenities sia in cucina che in bagno, ci siamo trovati molto bene e lo consigliamo a chiunque viaggi in coppia e sia alla ricerca di una soluzione alternativa agli hotel, ma che sia vicina al centro (circa 15 minuti dalla zona del Trinity College o da St. Stephen's Green), silenziosa e tranquilla. Ci sarebbe piaciuto avere l'opportunità di effettuare un late check-out oppure di avere a disposizione un deposito bagagli, ma essendo un appartamento ci può stare che non vengano offerti questi servizi.
- Giulia (10/5): Pulitissimo, nuovo e centrale - Comunicazione con l'host ineccepibile, risposte rapide anche per richieste e consigli durante il soggiorno. Check-in rapido e prima dell'arrivo vengono condivise molte informazioni utili sia sull'appartamento che sui dintorni. L'appartamento è esattamente come in foto, se non più bello. Nuovo e pulitissimo, davvero raro da trovare. Prodotti ottimi nel bagno (Rituals), letto comodo, cucina ben fornita. Perfetto per un soggiorno in città. La posizione è fantastica, un quartiere vicino al parco e centralissimo. Se dovessi tornare a Dublino, tornerei assolutamente!
Host disponibili anche per il late checkout gratuitamente. Nulla
- Justyna (10/5): - Pobyt Urban Rest to czysta przyjemność. Byliśmy w apartamemcie nr 4. Apartamenty łączą w sobie elegancję z domową funkcjonalnością, co widać już od samego progu stylowej kamienicy.
✅️ Wyposażenie i udogodnienia
Apartament jest niezwykle bogato wyposażony, co sprawia, że idealnie nadaje się na dłuższe pobyty:
✅️ Kuchnia: W pełni funkcjonalny aneks kuchenny z nowoczesną płytą indukcyjną, piekarnikiem oraz kuchenką mikrofalową. Do dyspozycji gości jest ekspres do kawy Nespresso z zapasem kapsułek, czajnik elektryczny oraz toster, a także mikrofalówka. Nie brakuje również pełnego zestawu przyborów kuchennych, w tym patelni, talerzy, garnków, kubków, sztućców. Są dostępne podstawowe przyprawy: sól, pieprz, oliwa, herbata. Dostępne mleko w lodówce, woda oraz popcorn. Miły gest.
🧯 Na korytarzu znajdują się gaśnice, w mieszkaniu koc przeciwpożarowy.
👕 Pranie: Na wyposażeniu znajduje się pralka, co jest ogromnym atutem.
🛋 Salon i sypialnia: Przytulny salon z wygodną kanapą i telewizorem oferuje widok na klasyczną zabudowę. Sypialnia dysponuje dużym, komfortowym łóżkiem z kompletem świeżych ręczników.
🛁 Łazienka: Nowoczesna i czysta, wyposażona w przestronną kabinę prysznicową z deszczownicą.
✅️ Bezpieczeństwo i design:
Wnętrza są jasne i urządzone z dbałością o detale, a o bezpieczeństwo gości dbają takie elementy jak koc gaśniczy zamontowany w kuchni. Mieszkanie znajduje się w bardzo bezpiecznej dzielnicy w otoczeniu kilku ambasad. Do centrum około 20 minut na nogach.
➡️ Informacje praktyczne
Warto zwrócić uwagę na dwa aspekty organizacyjne:
♿️ Dostępność: Ze względu na schody oraz specyfikę wejścia do budynku, obiekt nie jest przystosowany dla osób niepełnosprawnych. Apartament nr 4 znajduje się na 2 piętrze, więc trzeba samemu wnieść po schodach walizki. Dla nas ok, ale dla starszej osoby może być to duży problem.
🏷 Kaucja: Przy meldunku pobierany jest depozyt w wysokości 200 euro, który zostaje po kilku dniach zwrócony, jeśli nie było zniszczeń. ❌️ Wady: minusem jest brak możliwości zostawienia bagażu po check oucie, można zdecydować się na późne wymeldowanie, ale to koszt dodatkowych 100 euro. Walizki zostawiliśmy w oddalonej około 15 minut przechowalni.
❌️ Brak płynu do mycia naczyń.
❌️ Brak zmywarki.
- Ugur (10/5): Definitely recommended - Perfect location, great size loft style apartment, clean and has all the amenities. Very helpful staff when you need help. Definitely recommend.
- NEFELI A. (10/5): - ΟΛΑ ΗΤΑΝ ΦΑΝΤΑΣΙΚΑ . ΤΕΛΕΙΑ ΤΟΠΟΘΕΣΙΑ . ΠΕΝΤΑΚΑΘΑΡΟ ΚΑΙ ΣΟΥΠΕΡ ΑΝΕΤΟ . ΥΠΗΡΧΕ ΠΑΝΤΑ ΑΜΕΣΗ ΕΠΙΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑ ΑΝ ΚΑΙ ΔΕΝ ΧΡΕΙΑΣΤΗΚΑΜΕ ΚΑΤΙ ΦΟΒΕΡΟ ΜΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΚΑΤΑΛΥΜΑ ΤΑ ΠΑΡΕΙΧΕ ΟΛΑ . ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΠΟΛΥ ΓΙΑ ΟΛΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΗΝ ΕΞΥΠΗΡΕΤΗΣΗ ΝΑ ΜΑΣ ΣΤΕΙΛΕΤΕ ΤΑ ΑΚΟΥΣΤΙΚΑ ΠΟΥ ΞΕΧΑΣΑΜΕ ! ΤΟ ΜΟΝΟ ΠΟΥ ΘΑ ΗΘΕΛΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΕΞΤΡΑ ΠΕΤΣΕΤΑ ΓΙΑ ΜΑΛΛΙΑ ΓΙΑΤΙ ΕΙΧΑΜΕ ΜΟΝΟ ΜΙΑ .

- Callum (10/5): - Great apartment for long weekend.
- Jennifer (9/5): Will be back! - Really homely, very comfortable and super clean No refills of tea/sugar/coffee when requested which would have been nice. Also there was a beautiful study room in my apartment (bottom floor) but the wifi didn’t reach :(
- Fabrizio (9/5): Location piacevole e centrale - Tutto bene e perfetto Nulla
- Ester (9/5): -
- Craig (8/5): Great time, online support was superb, would recommend, only thing to be aware I would ask if in Flat3 as the bed is a s - Nice apartment, well equipped and we think is a great location for both rugby and town First apartment bed was very small and managed to get moved after some angst. That is the only thing should make people aware that Flat 3 is a small double, ok for one person not two adults,
- Fleur (9/5): -
- Florencia (10/5): -
- Giuseppina (10/5): Very good - Accogliente
Vicina al mio punto di interesse Da migliorare: lavastoviglie non c era ma capisco che lo spazio è ridotto…

- Chessa Scortichini (8/5): - I really liked that the apartment was very clean and cozy, and quite quiet. The sofa and bed were very comfortable, and the kitchen was clean. I also liked that there was coffee I didn't like the fact that the bathroom was a bit small and narrow, and especially without a window. Otherwise, I have nothing to say.
- Giulia (10/5): Bellissimo appartamento - Appartamento splendido
Pulitissimo
Letto divano smart tv tavolo con sedie, cucina separata attrazzatissima (lavastviglie, frigo, micronde, bollitore, macchina caffe, olio sale e aceto)
Codice per ingresso con autocheckin
Posizione ottima, 10 min dal centro, zona tranquilla Se arrivi prima orario check in la porta non si apre e non ci son posti per lasciare le valige, bisogno organizzarsi di conseguenza
Gli appartamenti ai piani superiori si raggiungono solo con le scale (no ascensore)
- Alexandra (10/5): -
- Richard (1/5): 72 steps to a door that is reluctant to open for guests. - I chose this property because of its location - adjacent to Merrion Square and therefore close to the city centre. That's about all that can be said for it. This one-bedroom flat is at the top of the building owned/managed by Urban Rest - a company based in New South Wales. The flat is on the 5th floor and is the only one-bedroom flat in this block. There are 72 steps to the flat's front door. The last 20 or so steps are very steep. The apartment has been converted from what must have been servant's quarters in times past. There is no lift. There are keypads on the front door and on the door to gain access to the flat. The front door keypad works fine. The keypad for entry to the flat does not work properly - it never worked the first time. One evening at 11 pm it took us over 10 minutes to gain access. On entry there was a fetid smell. We managed to get rid of it by running the bathroom fan continually. The kitchen is tiny with not enough room for two people to prepare meals. The TV has no access to terrestrial channels, only streaming services for which you need to use your own login details to access. We never used it. We booked for a week, but only stayed 3 nights. The company agreed to refund the extra nights. We found a refuge at Hampton Hilton at Four Courts. Much better but without the space of an apartment. It was impossible to speak to anyone at Urban Rest. Thanks to Melvin at Booking.com who negotiated an early termination of our booking and the refund.

- Tarja (8/5): Viihdyin siellä oikein hyvin! - Sijainti, viihtyvyys Ovikoodini ei toiminut ja jouduin hakemaan kellarista avaimen ja pitämään sitä mukanani koko viikon.
WCssä ei ollut pistorasiaa, eikä asunnossa tiskikonetta.
- Bruna (10/5): Everything was perfect! - Perfect location, modern flat, very well equipped, clean, with coffee, spices, water, and various other amenities.
Helpful staff who respond very quickly, very comfortable bed, close to everything. Highly recommended.

- Jewell (9/5): We highly recommend this property! - Location, comfort and having all the amenities of home were a high priority for us. The Merrion Apartments hit a high score for us in all categories! With a two minute stroll to Merrion Square Park, the apartment is located in a quiet part of the the city and close to everything we wanted to walk to! The apartment photos featured are accurate. We asked for a split-level studio apartment. We were in Apartment 3, which was new, clean, and spacious (enough for our needs for the week;)!The kitchen was fully equipped, with the addition of oil & vinegar, salt & pepper! That was a nice touch! Appliances are user friendly! We could read a manual if we had any issues, like turning on the heat. Instructions with a link to a user manual was supplied via an email. All of which was user friendly!
Other contributors mentioned difficulty with the stairs. We had no issues with the hallway stairs or those in the apartment. Perhaps going up to the apartment above might be an issue, especially walking up the winding, hallway stairs with heavy or large luggage. We had no issues getting to our suite, whatsoever! And we would stay here again and highly recommend it!! There are some minor repairs required to the shower and toilet seat. The shower door kept getting unhinged. My partner could easily put it back on track. And the toilet seat is rickety!An easy fix for the property managers. Just needs a toilet seat that is properly affixed.These are minor, but worth being attended to.
- Pilar (10/5): Apartamento acogedor y cómodo - Un apartamento muy bonito, limpio y cómodo Supongo q por error no había cubiertos
- Viacheslav (10/5): - Staying was really amazing - 10! So long and boring Check-In, I've spent almost half-day until midnight to complete all procedures.
I even thought, that it's scam :)
Check-out was so early in 10:00.
Even after my 2 requests.
So, guys, you need to improve Check-In / Out.
- L (10/5): - Super helpful online staff, clean and a great location. Definetly would stay again !
- Candace (9/5): -
- Carin (9/5): Heerlijk - Begane grond en bed niet op een verdieping.
- Felix (3/5): - The apartment was nicely decorated and homey. It's location is really great to explore the city. We booked for a week, yet there were just three small trashbags (2 in the kitchen/living room and one in the bathroom). Also there was no teatowel to dry the dishes. We had no detergent to use the washing machine in our apartement. Support did not help me at all and just told me to look in the cupboards and use what is there. I searched these cupoard three times and didn't find trashbags, detergent or teatowels.
- Zaida (9/5): -
- Jose (10/5): Top quality apartment in Dublin city centre - Apartment was very modern and we'll equipped. Quiet neighborhood in the city centre and plenty of amenities.
- Fatima (8/5): -
- Marco (3/5): Sehr unzufrieden - Lage Es war Kellerapartment. Keine Privacy. Die Stufen zum Apartment mit Koffern sind eine Zumutung.
- JOHN (8/5): -
- Catherine (9/5): Easy & enjoyable - The location was extremely practical, allowing us to walk everywhere we wanted. The flat felt brand new, tastefully decorated, very well equipped, and perfect for enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner at home. We stayed in the basement flat which, luckily, was not too noisy, although we could sometimes hear the guests upstairs. It’s also worth mentioning the steep steps to get there. Nothing
- Patricia (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Katja (8/5): - Super Service vor Ort. Cara war super. Gab ein paar Kleinigkeiten, um die sie sich sofort und effektiv gekümmert hat. Küchenequpment war nicht so sauber wie es hätte sein können. Wenig Stauraum für Kleidung und Gepäck.

- florent (2/5): Une très mauvaise expérience nocturne pendant 7 nuits - L'emplacement geographique et le style proposé Je logeais dans l'appartement 3 de la Résidence. Mon critère principal lorsque je réserve une location c'est d'avoir un grand lit. Malgré ma requête je me suis trouvé face à un lit d'1m40 et 2m de long. On est un couple grand et on s'est retrouvé plus qu'à l'étroit dans ce lit. De plus, le lit se trouve au niveau de la mezzanine, donc toute la chaleur de la journée monte. Il a fait assez chaud à Dublin sur la période où j'étais, et le soir c'était difficile de dormir avec la chaleur accumulé en hauteur. Il aurait fallu a-minimum que le logement soit doté d'un ventilateur.
Au bout de 2 jours présent, la porte d'entrée était cassé, donc n'importe qui aurait pu rentrer.
Le salon et la chambre sont côté rue, et comme les fenêtres ne sont qu'un simple vitrage, on entend tout ce qui se passe dans la rue, les gens qui discutent, la circulation, le bip du feu piéton... et cela toute la nuit. Enfin, il y a un chauffe eau qui, lorsqu'on arrive n'est pas en fonction Marche. Donc à la première utilisation il n'y a plus d'eau chaude. C'est un comble que ce soit à nous de gérer cela. Et la dernière nuit, le chauffe eau s'est mis en surchauffe et l'alarme s'est déclenchée à 5h du matin dans le couloir de l'escalier commun. Bref, je ne recommande pas cet appartement
- Mariacristina (10/5): Good choice - Cozy, comfortable, clean apartment in the heart of Georgian Dublin, walking distance from city centre. Nothing
- Eliška Hrbková (10/5): - Skvělá lokalita, výborně vybavený byt. Vše bylo v pořádku.
- Patricia (10/5): Happy space - Great location
V comfortable bed and really happy with the apartment
- Jean (10/5): -
- Jean (10/5): -
- Katrina (5/5): - Glad they were able to sort a partial refund. Felt like the staff were trying but let down but poorly managed systems and processes. It self service but unlike other really hard to contact the team for something that should be an easy fix
- Jean (10/5): -
- Cathy (8/5): Great location with right amenities - This place was close to the bus stop that took almost every where we wanted to go in Dublin. Even though I could hear a car alarm and the ticking of the crossing signal, my mildly deaf husband couldn’t hear anything.
The room was the appropriate size for our stay and was comfortable too. Being in a foreign country, we had a problem with the hot water, but the host was quick to help us solve the issue. We also noticed that the toilet seat was loose and the shower door kept coming off its tracks, but we let them know about this issue too.
- Mark (9/5): If you can set aside the feeling that by staying here you’re contributing to the shortage of longer term rented accommod - Central location, well-equipped, very clean, remarkably quiet for such a central location The bed is a touch on the narrow side.
More generally, the availability of apartments such as this for short term lets exacerbates Dublin’s housing crisis
- James (10/5): A wonderful apartment in the most perfect location! -
- Leanne (7/5): Few days stay - The decor and overall facilities were great. It was easy to check in and the apartment was immaculate. The apartment was very hot with the windows opening only a fraction and with the noise outside, it did make it tricky for a restful night sleep. I imagine it would be a lot better in the cooler months.
The toilet seat was also broken on arrival.
- Simona (9/5): Superb -
- Angelina (1/5): Avoid!! - The noise levels from the apartment were ridiculous. The support from the staff was extremely poor, just platitudes no action or respect for guests. I would avoid at all costs, book a hotel with competent staff or air BnB with responsive hosts. Never had such a sleepless and disturbed 4 nights stay anywhere.
- Coral (9/5): Superb - Great space and location! Very clean.
- Janine (10/5): Great stay Merrion Square - Very nice, cosy warm, great shower, great bed great location We did complain about some rubbish near our front door but they cleaned it up. We had the basement unit and the stairs were quite steep down to it.
- Luna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebecca (8/5): Very good - Great location- safe and easy walking distance to a lot of key locations No where to store luggage if late flight or early arrival.
- Nasruddien (10/5): I Felt Special 😌 - It was amazing, elegantly furnished, and all that is needed were there even beyond my expectations.
The team was nice, communicating effectively through (Booking app) messages.
Complementary stuff gives an idea of these people knowledge about valuing their guests 😎🙏🏼 No elevator (troublesome when carrying heavy luggage).
I came in during a very cold weather and the warmers weren’t switched on, thus it took around 8 hours till it became comfortable.
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment was well-equipped and central to restaurants. Easy walking area and beautiful Merrion Square Park just around the corner.
- Heather (8/5): Like a corporate apartment - Our studio had a bedroom over the kitchen. What you can't see from the listing is this:
Ceilings in bedroom and kitchen are maybe 6'-0" if I'm being generous. My 6'-4" husband had to continually hunch or keep cracking his head. That was the biggest surprise and disappointment for us.
I'll start with the positives:
* It looks exactly like the pictures.
* It's well fit out with all the appliances you'd expect in an apartment.
* The host company was responsive on entry questions.
* The location is near a lovely park and in a safe and quiet neighborhood (even with construction next door, which we saw but never heard).
* Easy access to bus lines to get all over the city.
* It's easy entry and access and even without an elevator the stairs aren't bad.
* The apartment and the building were well maintained.
* Extremely clean!
Now for the less-than-positive because while it was good it could've been great.
* The bed is in a niche with only one person having access to get in/out; it's already a double bed so with this, may be better suited for a single than a couple.
* The coffee maker is Nespresso. Lovely when you have the handful of pods provided but a pain to find to buy more.
* We didn't get two full sets of towels, just a bath mat, two bath towels, and a single hand towel.
* It's stocked for your entry, not your full stay. Usually okay with this but not when I'm booking from a hotel site instead of a b-b type.
* Roku TV. Have your own streaming accounts or no TV.
- Robin Michelle (10/5): - This was a fine property! Absolutely immaculate, well stocked with all essentials, and extremely well located for my needs.
- Donald (8/5): Could have been perfect, but poor noise insulation is hard to deal with. - Good location, modern, clean, well appointed and a lovely studio. Noise from the street and upstairs, no terrestrial TV channels and no "tea-towels".
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional - Well equipped.
Gorgeous comfortable apartment. The Tv isnt on a rotating bracket. The sofa is quite small so if you could rotate the Tv you could watch Tv comfortably from the bed.
There were no oven gloves (from where I looked) - reccomend for future.
- Samantha (9/5): Would not hesitate to book again - We loved the decor, the comfy bed , the apartment had everything you needed .It was a great size .The checkin was so easy . If I needed to know something communication was amazing too. I would of liked a paper form information booklet
