Guest Reviews

• Leandro Ulloa (1/5): Una estafa sin gatos ni comodidades básicas - La zona no estaba tan lejos del centro. Pero realmente nada bueno para destacar. Las cosas que no nos gustaron son innumerables. La primera: el título es una estafa. No hay ningún gato, estuvimos tres noches y nunca apareció ninguno. Fue uno de los motivos por el cual alquilamos allí. Apenas llegamos, nos recibió de casualidad una persona que apenas nos indicó cuál era la habitación y no nos mostró las instalaciones ni qué podíamos usar y qué no. Al entrar a la habitación, diminuta y claustrofóbica, abrimos el sillón cama y estaba lleno de pis de perro. No pudimos usarlo en toda la estadía y no nos dieron ninguna solución al respecto. Las instalaciones son deficientes: el baño y la ducha son diminutas y están en la cocina, la habitación está pegada a la cocina y los olores y los ruidos son constantes e incluso de madrugada. Para colmo una noche el dueño de la casa se comió nuestra comida de la heladera y al avisarle nos dijo que pidamos algo que él lo pagaba, pero sin ocuparse ni de pedirlo ni de pagarlo en el momento, y era muy tarde por la noche para resolver. Hace casi dos meses que estamos esperando una respuesta de Booking por todos estos inconvenientes y no tuvimos respuesta. No se lo recomiendo a nadie no solo por el precio exorbitante sino por todas las deficientes anteriormente mencionadas. Para el olvido.
• Marija (1/5): Da mogu dati manju ocjenu dala bih. Uzas i sramota. Ako su ovo irski standardi kao sto mi je napisano u poruci, onda se - Ništa. Nista mi se nije svidjelo.

• Ger (3/5): Cheap, cramped sub-standard room. - Good location. Great value. Self check. Host provided the info I needed for late check in. Room/Cost was low so worked out fine but wouldn't want to stay more than one night or ever again. Make shift bunk bed. Smallest bathroom I've ever seen and it was pretty much in the kitchen-living room. Very cramped. Was glad to be checking out early. Would avoid and advise anyone to avoid unless it's upgraded to adequate standard.
• Olivia (9/5): -
• NDE (4/5): - Bed was uncomfortably, squeaky , location poor Nothing interesting
• László (6/5): Összességében elfogadható. - Reggelit nem tartalmazott a rendelés. A szállás csendes helyen, egy zsákutca végén található. A zuhanyozóban nem sikerült vizet fakasztani.
• Ophélie (3/5): - Le logement est bien placé plutôt proche du centre, il y a de la place pour se garer gratuitement mais il fait être chanceux. L'hôte a l'air très gentil par email mais nous n'avons eu aucun contact direct avec lui. La chambre était propre malheureusement les parties communes étaient quant à elles très sales. La cuisine n'avais clairement pas était nettoyé depuis un moment, le frigo était dans un état pitoyable tout comme le micro-ondes, la brouillard et tout le reste. La salle de bain est inexistante, ce sont deux pièces minuscules qui donne sur la cuisine. Les toilettes sont très exigus et la douche à l'air d'être dans un ancien placard. Il n'y a pas de place pour se déshabiller, se sécher ou se rhabiller. Les tapis sont toujours trempé et dans "la salle de bain" comme dans la cuisine on ne sait pas trop où poser ses affaires et on ose toucher à rien tellement c'est sale. Les portes ferment difficilement pour les toilettes comme pour la salle de bain. Notre chambre donnait sur la "cour" intérieur et la poubelle était directement sous notre fenêtre et débordait sur le rebord de notre fenêtre. Nous avons écourté notre séjour tant la situation était invivable. Quand nous avons essayé de discuter avec le propriétaire au sujet de la propreté du logement, sa réaction a été d'annuler notre réservation essentiellement pour ne pas avoir de commentaire de notre part.
• Vitor (10/5): Os gatos dão vida a casa. - Localização Casa de banho muito pequena
• Duggan (6/5): Perfectly cozy place to stay for a couple days. - The cats were as advertised and the bed was comfy and warm once you turn on the heat. I was easy check-in and check-out, very flexible, and the neighborhood was quiet. It was a very tight and narrow space, and there were issues with the water/kitchen/bathroom while we were there, including with the shower just cutting off and a leak into the kitchen.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Hendrik (6/5): -
• Qalalwa (9/5): -
• Kamil (7/5): - Cat ❤️ It was little but cold
• Heylove Robert (7/5): -
• Keanu (8/5): - Great location! Small room.
• Dennis (1/5): - Lo único que está cerca al aeropuerto Empezando por el cuarto tenía una capa de polvo toda la habitación, la persiana tiene moho aparte de oler toda la habitación a moho y polvo, telarañas en la litera la ropa de cama con manchas poco higiene, aparte la habitación claustrofóbica si vas más de 2 personas, ya el baño y ducha creo que no llega ni al metro cuadrado, y la limpieza brilla por su ausencia, a y como no olvidarse de que hacen ruido a las 2 o 4 de la madrugada, si tú intención es de paso para ir al aeropuerto lo pensará mucho.
• Cao (10/5): -
• Pj (10/5): Everything I needed - Everything you need Nothing
• David (6/5): The chaps over at The Blind Ref are all legends. - The neighborhood it’s in is excellent. Quick walk into town. We came back pretty late one evening and there was no issues. So very gracious in that regard. Same issue as everyone else, the shower is very small and so is the toilet. The top bunk needs a railing or something on it. However I knew all this going into it, it was a cheap stay in a fantastic city so I have no real complaints.
• Tutajewicz (6/5): -
• bontempi (5/5): Esperienza mistica - Io prezzo relativamente allettante rispetto alla media, di strada per l'aeroporto. Il gatto della struttura é molto dolce. La descrizione sulla pagina non rappresenta esattamente la location. É un appartamento condiviso con due camere da letto. Bisogna sperare di non avere come coinquilino un indiano che urla al telefono tutta sera e che cucina piatti speziati come é successo a noi ( abbiamo dovuto aprire tutte le finestre per arieggiare). La camera era molto piccola, senza corrente. Bagno minuscolo non ci si riesce nemmeno a lavare la faccia.
• Jenna (10/5): FANTASTIC - Bloody amazing! Although we didn’t meet the owners, they were excellent at communicating, so flexible and welcoming and provided an excellent room, very neat and clean. Bonus points for the adorable kitty! nothing!
• May Wen Lim (5/5): Owner was friendly but not a comfortable stay in the property - Afford able stay outside of city Kitchen is clustered. Toilet super tiny Owners need to improve as a host: owner n kid may come home late at 11pm cause some noise outside your ground floor bedroom. Owner used washing machine next to our bed room from 12am till 4am.
• Aleksandra (1/5): The place is a health hazard at best, you're being welcomed by stench of overflowing trash, organic - The place is a health hazard at best, you're being welcomed by stench of overflowing trash, organic waste basket on the counter, in the bathroom there was a bin overflowing with bloody and plasma stained tissues, in the shower as shown on the photo there was hair clumps and spiders under the shower. After 3 days out of five the kitchen was cleaned. If you planning to stay bring a cleaning cre.w with you
• Petr (5/5): -
• Valérie (7/5): - La proximité avec le centre-ville La communication par SMS avec le propriétaire Ce n’était pas très propre, et malheureusement nous n’avons jamais vu notre propriétaire
• Crozzolin (1/5): - Relativamente vicina al centro Sembrava una discarica
• Andreas (7/5): -
• Cyril (3/5): Sale et bruyant - Le seul avantage est que le bus n'est pas loin. Logement mal entretenu, sale et bruyant. Pas de petit déjeuner alors que c'est indiqué dans la description. Des aliments en état douteux dans la cuisine et dans le frigo. La porte principale et la porte arrière du logement restent ouvertes en permanence donc sécurité des bagages aléatoire. Pas de proprio sur place, juste un "gardien" qui ne sort de sa chambre que très rarement. Sur trois nuits, nous avons été réveillés 2 nuits par des arrivées tardives (jusqu'à 2h du matin). Insonorisation zéro, on entend les discussions de la chambre voisine. En conclusion plus cher et moins bien que les auberges de jeunesse et autres b&b que nous avons testés.

• Liam (10/5): -
• Annette (6/5): Pleasant - Nice people, good kitchen Problems parking, you have to park on the street and depend on free parking lots nearby. The second bed was just a seat you could fold out and it was too short, so I had to sleep diagonally. It was comfortable, though. There was no jacuzzi. as it had been promised in the add
• Setro (1/5): Bad -
• Mkhwanazi (1/5): Bad -
• Rikiah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lilli-ann (9/5): All and all was a great stay and would definitely recommend and stay again :) - The host was very friendly and helpful. Check in was quick and easy. Bed was comfortable. The only thing I found a bit annoying was where the shower was located in the house. Getting in and out was a bit of a struggle.
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Aidan (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly people, cool decor and cute animals.
• Bingley (7/5): Take a gown to shower - Brian and Priscilla were very friendly and welcoming Didn't like the toilet and shower in the kitchen
• James (7/5): Good -
• Phakamani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (1/5): Bad - Nothing I had to walk the streets with a 2 year old because the rooms were so cold it was warmer outside than inside 😑 The way we were treated and had to walk the streets with a 2 year old at 3am she was crying with the cold in the room
• Chelsea (9/5): Superb -
• Chelsea (9/5): Superb -
• Haji (10/5): Exceptional - It was very cozy. A nice place to stay. Everithing was clean and nicly kept. The staff were very helpfull acomodating our special request.
• Colin (7/5): Good -
• Shoab (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sara (10/5): Great value - Nice quiet and cosy place in cul de sac with great kitchen facilities, including a coffee machine. The owner is super friendly and quick to reply to email enquiries.
• Alina (7/5): Good -
• Aziz (1/5): Bad - Disappointed. The house is very cold. There is heating, but the owner of the house did not turn it on at night. The outside temperature was below zero. The bathroom and toilet, narrow and open to the outside, are inside the kitchen. I've never seen this before. The poor cat was cold. regarding the mattress you can feel the springs stinging ,no lock on the antrance door 😶‍🌫️
• Kirsty (7/5): Good -
• Sonny (4/5): Disappointing - Host was sound. Bed linen was clean. Parking and location were handy. WiFi worked fine. It was a last minute booking for €40 so it suited our purpose fine. The amount of noise from 11pm onwards until 8am was insane. Loud bangs and conversations through the whole night, dishes being washed at all hours. We were in the top of a bunk bed on the ground floor and felt like we could hear everything through the whole house. The toilet was very small, and was not kept in a hygienic state. Another guest opened our door "accidentally" around 11:30pm.. and during the night I heard our door handle turn again as someone made their way through the corridor, but luckily we had the door locked this time. So we did not have a very safe feeling during our stay.
• Terry (9/5): Superb -
• Rogerio (4/5): not a great experience. - has free parking close by. bathroom was terrible. very dirty and small. it was by the kitchen, right on the kitchen. didn’t have the heating working. was freezing the bedroom.
• Shiloh (7/5): Good - Great location and friendly cat. I was really looking forward to the hot tub, but it was too cold to use. The shower is in the kitchen...
• Nic (6/5): no cats - It was as expected from the reviews so a last minute booking on a budget it worked out. Firstly if you dont like cats (and smell of cats) this is not the place for you. But if you're fine with that it's OK. I was in a single room at the top, what was unusual was it had a UK 13 amp square type socket. I didn't see the cats. Arriving it was dark so needed the phone torch to follow the access instructions. WiFi worked OK. Not too far from transport links into the city though I decided to walk. I missed a flight connection so got the airport shuttle bus to Drumcondra and walked to the property from there and the reason for my stay. Many pictures of cats and cat ornaments. This is or was a family home converted into a place for people to stay. The bathroom, which is adjacent the kitchen is very small, this is the shower and the toilet and if someone is in the kitchen when you want a shower it could get interesting. I appeared to be the only person staying there so it wasn't a problem. Shower had lots of others gels and shampoos, but that could be an advantage if you forgot yours.
• Samuele (6/5): Pleasant -
• Norris (2/5): Far too expensive for the facilities provided. The one cat was a bit friendly for a while. - Convenient location close to city centre if you can walk. Cabin bed in a tiny bedroom!! Too close to the ceiling for my husband to sleep in safely and no indication that you needed to be able to climb a ladder to get into bed. No other furniture in the room apart from fold-out chair underneath.
• Katrin (8/5): In summary it was a good and payabke spot for exploring the city when having no much money to spend - It was cozy like staying in a friends home. The kitchen was very good equipped. The room was very small. The toilet within the kitchen is a bit uncomfortable, but due to the limited space in the house.
• Denise (2/5): If I didn’t love cats, I could not have spent a single night here. NOT a suitable booking. - The best things about this lodge were the quiet and the owner’s 2 cats. The owner was good about keeping the kitchen sink area clean and was around enough to answer important questions. This is a long list: 1. My room was upstairs and there was no handrail, which was unsafe to say the least. 2. There was only a single “bathroom” in the lodge and it was located downstairs in the kitchen! This washroom (toilet and sink) was the size of an airplane lavatory (I’m not exaggerating!) with a sink barely large enough to wash my hands. This was extremely inconvenient for me because I was sick. 3. The shower was basically a closet adjacent to the lavatory with an inner shower door; there was barely space to remove my clothing, hang it, and keep it dry while I showered. 3. No dressing area, as both closets opened into the kitchen. 4. Importantly, both the lavatory and shower had windows, but they were locked each time I used these facilities so there was no way to air out the toilet after use, or to let out steam from the shower! Very unsanitary given that the kitchen was just outside the toilet, which was often smelly! 5. Kitchen refrigerator was packed with minimal space to store personal items. 6. Room: My key was a “skeleton key” that was tricky to use. I almost missed my appointment one morning because I was locked INside my room, trying to manipulate the key. 7. The room had no chair to sit on, and was too cold (the heater control was downstairs on a timer that couldn’t be changed). The electric blanket on the bed only worked for half of the bed. 8. This place was advertised as having a sitting area and a hot tub: the sitting area (literally the only place to sit other than one’s bed) was a sofa that doubled as the owner’s office space/work area, and the hot tub was just outside the front door and visible to all neighbors on either side and across the street (with absolutely no privacy during the day, or convenience of use at any time).
• Michael (2/5): Negotiate the price. It's way too high for what you get. - Location For 50 euros it would have been reasonable. "rough and ready" but acceptable. For 95 Euros it is massively overpriced. The toilet and the shower are a long way from the bedrooms and absolutely tiny. All sorts of details like clean windows and chipped paint all over the place were not taken care of. I would definitely not recommend it at this price.
• Mujib (2/5): False advertising and reviews luring hapless budget-conscious travelers to their misery and doom - Bedroom had enough storage for one person, and just enough room to move around and/or bend over without knocking anything over or scraping elbows and knees. Cute cat. A toilet so tiny I actually regretted not going in the plane. Unbelievable. And you step out from the minuscule shower right into the kitchen, mumbling apologies to anybody cooking. There are four rooms with guests, and all of them are forced to share the same microscopic execrable facilities. The support email is handled by different people providing conflicting information. Ran out of toilet paper one day. I was asked to replenish my own by one person, but the host quickly chimed in to say he would take care of it. One fine morning the shower mysteriously stopped midway, and I was left with soap in my eyes. Apparently, I had to go to the front of the house and fiddle with some fuse box to fix this. Which I learned after I had checked out. This is the worst place I've ever stayed in, and I grew up in a Third-World country. The neighborhood is sketchy and unclean. The house is noisy, and I could hear people talking loudly late into the night. It's a good 45-minute walk from the city center, which was fine by me, as I could use the steps. If only that helped me lose some weight to fit into that infernal toilet. I will be having nightmares of that sink and mat for weeks. Brr. All this happened due to my lack of thoroughness in vetting the listing. I was hoodwinked by glowing reviews (9.0 and 10 Exceptional rating), which, had I dug deeper, would have found were all provided by one Olena from Ukraine (possibly a plant). I'm pretty sure the host will delete this listing soon and put it up under a different name in the future. Booking.com should do something about this. I loved everything about Dublin, except for the stay. I can only wish now that I was more prudent in my choice. My advice: Stay far away. Go find a hostel instead. I bet it would have much nicer and spacious facilities, while being significantly cheaper. This one's a scam, pure and simple.
• Jakub (9/5): Superb - Very cool hosts, clean apartment. A bit tight but you can feel like at home. Perfect for 2 persons a bit tight for 3 but it’s fine and not expensive. Good localisation - 16 minutes to airport with a car, less than 30 minutes to city centre on foot We met a cute cat in the morning :)
• Brettell_ (6/5): Met our requirements (the bare minimum) - Decent location, comfy bed and clean bed linen, the one cat we saw was lovely, plenty of toiletries to use and decent kitchen facilities. The floors were pretty filthy, had stains and crumbs on them - there was a rug in the kitchen that was very dirty and the bathmats were also in desperate need of a clean. Our bed linen was clean and smelled nice, however was bobbly and clearly well used - in need of a replacement. There was also dust on the top of the bed frame. The facilities weren’t great - the bathroom was a tiny room with a toilet and mini sink, you could barely move in there. There was a separate room with a shower that took up the whole room, very limited space to put a towel and clothes. The microwave was very dirty and smelled bad. Although we’re sure the host is lovely, we didn’t feel very welcomed as he didn’t speak to us or introduce himself, despite overhearing him having friendly conversations to other residents. Lastly, we only saw one cat the first day, and then didn’t see any again.
• Cernickey (5/5): Messy and small and bathroom inconvenient, no cats - It was alright but not what the post expected it to be. What did I like? There’s nothing I liked tbh but I’ve been in worst places. I could have gotten a hostel I feel like A lot I didn’t like. It really isn’t what the property portrayed it as. I’m really not picky I’m a very well seasoned traveler and don’t expect much but the bedroom was super small and it wasn’t cleaned. The blanket and pillows look like they have been through so much. Like with the 90 euros I spent on my stay I’m pretty sure they could get a new bed cover and pillows. The pillows were so think from being used so much. The toilet and sink room is so tiny. I couldn’t even bend over to spit from brushing my teeth. The water cut off in the middle of the shower and since the house is with many people and the shower is literally in the kitchen where people are using it I was walking around the house in a towel trying to call the person to help me turn the water back on. The lady seemed a little annoyed everytime I tried getting her to help me. Idk I’m done writing this, it was a frustrating stay and I personally don’t think it should be on booking. It’s just a person trying to make money as much as possible and not caring about how clean or what the person who’s paying money to stay there to keep clean.
