Guest Reviews
- Peter (10/5): -
- Koldy (10/5): Byli jsme velmi spokojeni - Velmi dobrá nic
- Jonatan (9/5): -
- Happy Sonya (10/5): - Pohodový hostitel, umístění v moderní výstavbě.
- Yvonne (8/5): A nice clean apartment and our host was very helpful. Also a lovely breakfast provided. - It was a lovely view and not too far to walk from the bus stop from the airport. Clean accommodation and our host was pleasant and helpful. The water wasn’t so hot in the bathroom on the evening but probably something to do with the boiler.
- Elise (9/5): - Logement tres propre, tres bien placé
Grande chambre
Petit dejeuner varié
- Oleksii (10/5): Un posto meraviglioso dove si ha voglia di tornare ancora! - Luogo ideale per una vacanza in famiglia! Vista mozzafiato sul Mar Tirreno, di cui si può godere direttamente dall’hotel. Camere molto pulite, accoglienti e spaziose — grandi, luminose e completamente attrezzate con tutto il necessario per un soggiorno confortevole.
Un ringraziamento speciale al manager dell’hotel, Oreste — una persona estremamente attenta e disponibile, sempre pronta ad aiutare con qualsiasi richiesta e a rendere il soggiorno ancora più piacevole e confortevole. Nessuna nota negativa — tutto è stato perfetto.
- laurence (10/5): - Accueil chaleureux et super emplacement !
- Tomas (9/5): -
- Veronika (8/5): Příjemné ubytování v blízkosti centra - Ubytování kousek od centra Dublinu, autobus před domem, vlak cca 6 minut pěšky. Vše po ruce, včetně potravin i restaurací. Do Temple Bar jede také přímý autobus :-) A ubytovatel Shy je velmi příjemný.
- Alessandro (9/5): - The host has been very helpful throughout our stay. The apartment is beautiful, situated on a lovely dock.
Highly recommended.
- David (10/5): Excellent séjour, c'est un lieu où on se sent bien, la compagnie discrète mais sympathique de Shay, son sens de l - L'emplacement, la vue, l'appartement, l'hospitalité de Shay, le petit-déjeuner
- Dace (9/5): Jūtos priecīga un gandarīta, ka varēju savu darba komandējumu pavadīt Dublinā! - Atrašanās vieta ir ļoti laba- 20-25 minūšu gājiens līdz centram un galvenajiem apskates objektiem. Mazāk kā 50 metru attālumā ir autobusu pietura, kas arī atvieglo nokļūšanu centrā. Ar autobusu jābrauc apm. 15 min. Tuvumā atrodas veikals Eurospar, kur iegādāties visu nepieciešamo. Apmēram 5-7 minūšu gājienā, virzienā uz centru atrodas viens no atpazīstamajiem un slavenajiem krogiem Ferryman. Ferryman tuvumā ir ļoti skaists un moderns tilts un mākslas objekts ar nosaukumu Nirstošais zvans jeb Diving Bell.
Ja grib krodziņā/restorānā paēst pusdienas vai vakariņas jārēķinās ar ap. 30-45 eur vienai personai. Ja vienkārši grib iedzert Guiness, tad robežās līdz 10 eur. Noteikti iesaku apmeklēt Īrijas vecāko krodziņu The Brazen Head (var lieliski apvienot ar Guiness Storehouse apmeklējumu!), The Hairy Lemon, The Temple Bar, restorāni-The Bank on College Green- ļoti grezns un klasiski elegants, atrodas Dublinas centrā, Duke@Lemon, gājēju ielas (Grafton Street) tuvumā. Uz gājēju ielas ir skaista, grezna kafejnīca Bewley's Oriental Cafes, kur var nobaudīt lielisko Bailey kafiju un arī citas garšīgas kafijas. Nav komentāru.
- Anna (10/5): Cozy apartment with a nice view. - Very nice property, we had a great stay. The host was lovely and very helpful. Location is perfect if you want to explore the city of Dublin,also the fact that there is parking available is a great bonus. All in all good experience.
- Patrick Ian (10/5): - Everything was perfect. Location was fantastic, just minutes from the Dart. Great supermarket en route. We stayed just one night but it was the best night of our trip. Shay was an excellent host with information and provided everything we needed for a deluxe evening and superb breakfast in the morning. Apart from our initial introduction we didn't see him again after that and we had a really cool apartment to enjoy with all the mod cons and brilliant balcony views. An absolutely top class stay!

- robert (10/5): - We loved the view east towards the sunrise.
- Gerardina (10/5): -
- Lyn (9/5): Welcoming; helpful; personable - The owner of this private residence was very accommodating — helped me find the location, allowed me to park in his allotted parking space. Was very caring and helpful It wasn’t that I didn’t like it, but I just found it a bit strange as I didn’t realise it was a privately owned apartment with a “room to rent”. I am grateful for the location being close to ferry terminal
- Eleonora (8/5): Ideale per un breve soggiorno a Dublino - Buona posizione ed ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo! L’host, shay, è molto gentile e disponibile
- Julie (6/5): - Location was good for where we were visiting.
Easy parking It advertised a private bathroom and confirmed it in the confirmation but its a shared bathroom down 3 flights of stairs!
- Marzena (9/5): Good location - We stayed for one night and attended a show at the Bord Gais Theatre, which is less than a 3-minute walk from the apartment. The room was very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The view from the apartment is stunning.
Our host, Shey, was welcoming and helpful. We had a small trouble finding the place, but he came to pick us up and guided us in, which made our arrival seamless. Highly recommend for a convenient and comfortable stay. Nothing
- Leire (10/5): Muy acogedora - Shay fue muy amable con nosotros, nos preparó un desayuno variado y muy rico, además estuvo pendiente por si necesitábamos cualquier cosa. Nos sentimos muy bien acogidos y muy cómodos. El apartamento está en una zona tranquila a 30 minutos andando al centro, o a 10 minutos en bus que se coge al lado y viene cada muy pocos minutos. Las vistas de la habitación muy bonitas. Todo un lujo!! Repetiremos si volvemos a Dublín :)
- Federica (9/5): -
- Pablo (9/5): Muy buena elección - Como en casa. Buena habitación. Fantástico el dueño del alojamiento. Todo facilidades y buen desayuno. Muy poco intrusivo pero a la vez echando una mano si lo necesitas. Todo bien
- Shimmergloom (10/5): - We loved our stay with Shay, who is an exceptional host! The place was comfy, clean, in a lovely area and made our trip to Dublin absolutely amazing!
A lot of nice dining options and pubs are close by, you can either walk into the city or enjoy the public transport easily!
Absolutely recommended and we will certainly return another time!

- Svitlana (10/5): - Everything is great, a comfortable room, a very nice apartment owner, a convenient location, and a beautiful view from the window. Thanks!
- Patrick (7/5): - L emplacement,le parking. L hôte etait sympa et très discret. Petit déjeuner à préparer soi même avec peu de choix. Salle de bain juste correcte.
- LauraMoo (10/5): Fantastic - Beautiful apartment, fantastic views overlooking the Aviva in the distance, the bed was so comfortable, and the place was quiet. Shay was a very welcoming and friendly host, and he prepared breakfast even though I was leaving at 7:45am. Overall, great stay! Nothing to add here.
- GAVIN (10/5): -
- Sabine (8/5): -
- Joerg (9/5): - Alles
- Sonia (9/5): - Camera è spaziosa, pulita e ben arredata, host disponibile e gentile, posizione tranquilla e servita dai mezzi. Il centro è comunque raggiungibile a piedi con una passeggiata. Niente
- Peter (6/5): - Nice apartment with a good walk of interesting books in the living area, and a good view over the surrounding area We did not realise that the owner would also be living at the apartment in the next bedroom. We felt we had no privacy as we were never sure if and when he would arrive home. As it turned out we only saw him a couple of times and he was a very nice person but it was a surprise to us that he was living in the property while we were re renting it
- Christine (9/5): Super endroit pour découvrir Dublin - Shay est très agréable, il s'est rendu disponible pour nous préparer le petit déjeuner chaque matin avant d'aller travailler. Le fait de pouvoir garer la voiture en sous-sol de l'immeuble est un vrai plus, le centre ville est facilement accessible à pied.
- Ceara (9/5): - Great views, breakfast was great. He had the kitchen fully stocked.
Our host was knowledgeable about the local area with great tips for nice places to eat.
Clean bedding & towels, we had our own bathroom and lock on the door so felt safe. Front door key didnt work, so we had to phone out host to open the door.
He answered immediately which was great.
- Beate Bastuck (9/5): -
- Donna (1/5): Poor description of a shared flat with owner present - Location and view Advertised as shared kitchen and living room. This does not explain that you are sharing the flat with the owner who advised he would be around the whole time you were there. His clothes are in the cupboards of the bedroom and his bathroom products in the ensuite.
Description needs to be clearer. This is booking.com not Airbnb. £400 for 3 nights in a shared flat with the owner there is just not good. Shay was a very nice person but that doesn't take away from the issues.
- Laurent (10/5): - Hôte très accueillant, emplacement idéal, superbe vue. Au top!
- Emmet (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable bedding. Gracious host. Great location. Clean. Perfect for a show in the theatre.
- Gearoid (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kenny (9/5): Superb - Lovely room with rooftop views, 20min walk to the centre, some nice local bars close by. Nothing
- Corinna (8/5): Handy location for discovering Dublin! - Great location, close to city and public transport. Great restaurants close by and groceries across the canal. The apartment was neat and tidy. We didn’t spend much time in the apartment as we were busy sightseeing. Oil diffuser a little overpowering.
- Keith (9/5): Superb -
- Morag (8/5): Very good -
- John (10/5): Lovely apartment in a great location - Great location
Gated parking
Our host was terrific

- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you, we had a fabulous stay, Shay is a super host, and communication was excellent. We loved the accommodation, and it was a great location with great transport links. We will book again, Cheers ☺️
- Jenny (9/5): Great overnight stop in Dublin
before catching the ferry - Shah was a wonderful host. Great communicator, clear arrival and parking instructions which is important as his apartment is literally right by the canal. Room is large with huge picture window; bed is comfy.
Bathroom is compact but everything works. Would definitely stay again.
- Vladimir (7/5): Rent - It was a little bit strange, because our host came back in the end of our reservation and he slept in the next room. He came back around 2 a.m and he was very noisy. The apartment was very cozy and with nice view It was cold in the bedroom until the owner of the apartment didn't came back, also I didn't know that I must share the apartment with him.
- Amanda (10/5): It was a very i - The room was very clean could of done with a TV the owner shay was very nice and helpful.
- Molly (10/5): Fabulous stay, great value and exceptional host Shay - a beautiful room in an ideal location It was all good
- Thomas (8/5): Grand Dock Dublin - Great location for 3 Arena or ferry foot passengers. Sink taps needed maintenance. When turned on they initially do not give any water, if left a while they then allow so much through that they soak the bathroom.
- Lee (10/5): Just fantastic - Everything, lovely view, 20 walk along the old river banks into town.
Just brilliant and on bus routes. Car park underneath
Clean and very friendly
- Breda (10/5): Cosy spot in Dublin - Shay was a very welcoming host , answered the phone several times to help me. The place was spotless,with a big comfortable bed and right in the head of Dublin. Nothing not to like
- Megan (9/5): Such a lovely experience would definitely stay again - Had a great view from our room. Host was above and beyond helpful and very friendly.
- Jeff (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Car parking. Host excellent and very friendly.
- Henrik (10/5): Exceptional host, excellent space - highly recommend! - Our host was extremely kind and hospitable! He took special care to provide us with great parking, a full breakfast, a lovely room with a high rise view over Dublin, and was very welcoming and enjoyable to visit with. The WiFi was good, and the room spacious. His home is very nice, clean and we certainly recommend him for your next stay in Dublin!
- Nina (10/5): Exceptional - Great owner with nice apartment. To the city is 15-20 minutes walk. Nearby are coffe shops and grocery store. We stayed only one night. Also has parking garage, so we parked our car and walk free in the city.
- Filipe (10/5): Perfect stay - Good location with a parking spot available. Shay was an excellent host, with some tips to explore Dublin and an excellent breakfast. Nothing.
- Lauren (9/5): Superb -
- Katherine (9/5): dublin shared apartment - Friendly and helpful host
Great views from large windows and balcony
Comfy bed
Parking on site
- Paul (10/5): Great location for a Dublin stay. - Location was excellent and very easy to communicate with Shay. Nothing. All good.
- Abina (8/5): Very good -
- Keith (9/5): Superb -
- Janusz (10/5): Amazing - Was very clean and tidy
- Daria (9/5): Superb -
- Sean (8/5): Great value in Dublin - Great location and great host. A small, clean room in the canal area.
- Cam (10/5): Exceptional - Great communications, helpful host. Exceptional location. Amazing view of the city. Free parking was a bonus. Would stay here again.
- Narelle (8/5): A one nighter, near Temple Bar Dublin - This was an ensuited room in the owners apartment with shared living and kitchen facilities.
Large room and bed was comfy. Sizeable ensuite. Ample continental brekky provided as part of our 'deal.'
Use of communal kitchen for tea and coffee available 24/7.
Although we didnt, I understand we could have used the kitchen to heat up, possibly cook/prepare evening meals. The Host Shay was very obliging and quick to respond to any queries.
Secure car parking was provided.
Assessable by lift/elevator.
It was about a 20-30 min leisurely walk to Temple Bar area of Dublin. Unfortunately there was no hot water for our evening shower. Possibly the host forgot to turn it on, as there was plenty in the morning. A minor oversight??? We just boiled the jug and had a warm wash down before retiring.
Being senior travellers, we had not encountered a 'shared' situation before, so we were a little hesitant as to how it would work. However, we did have a lot of privacy during our one night stay and saw very little of Shay.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - a very pleasant stay. as the host was welcoming and helpful.
Thomas Cooper
- Evelyn (10/5): One night - Amazing view There was nothing not to like
- Andrea (9/5): Convenient, comfortable accommodation for a short stay - Fabulous location, easy trip from the airport, great views and very comfortable Nothing
- Oke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (8/5): Very nice, we liked it. - Local host with good craic.
- Geraldine (8/5): Grand canal apartment - Brilliant location & parking, excellent price.
Ideal for overnight stay at a low price Very satisfied.
- Helen (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely ocean views , unit in good location lots of eateries around and easy walk from dublin express stop. Shay is a great host and went out of his way to assist- didnt mind baggage drop or early check in- perfect stay
- Alexandrina (10/5): Great stay, close to my required location and very clean, - Good location. Safe area. Nice views Nothing, Shay was very welcoming and a lovely host who made a lovely coffee in the morning before I had to elave which was very much appreciated.
- Francis (8/5): worked out well - great location, good for parking .
- T (9/5): Perfect with reasonable price - Some people wrote that there is no way you can lock the door to the balcony. In fact it is pretty easy. You just have to first push the handle the other way. Then it is possible to lock the door.
When it comes to the breakfast, we had the possibility to use the owners milk and cereals or tea. Other than that, there was nothing else for the breakfast that I am concerned about. The locality was perfect and balcony has beautiful skyline. I would definitely suggest this accomodation. Shay is a good person and he helped us multiple times to choose what to see in the city. Breakfasts were not by my expectations but other than that nothing.
- Tara (10/5): Perfect stay - Great apartment! Great location and gated free car park a massive bonus!!
- David (10/5): Enjoyable and relaxed location, attention to detail was outstanding - Central location , easy going and helpful
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bob (9/5): Double bedroom with ensuite bathroom in nice flat on 6th floor, good location - The host Shay, who lives in a nice apartment at the 6th floor Grand Canal Dock, rents a bedroom with double bed and ensuite bathroom. You can use his kitchen to make coffee or tea, and in the morning he prepares a breakfast.
We liked the location of the flat at walking distance of Dublin Center. The Grand Canal Dock Area is a modern gentrified neighbourhood near Dublin Port. The bedroom (and flat) is comfortable. A bonus is the private parking space in the underground garage. Nothing that I disliked. You have to be comfortable with the idea of sleeping in someone else's flat while he lives there, but then we had the impression that Shay stayed in his room to give us more privacy while we were in.
- Shourya (10/5): Exceptional - Nice gentleman and helpful
- Jon (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent host, location, and accommodation
- Aoife (9/5): Superb - Location to transport and restaurants. Car park space available

- Amy (10/5): Great accomodation, great location, great price! - Clean, bright, modern, super comfy bed, tasty breakfast & great host. Would definitely recommend staying here!
