Guest Reviews
- Klaudia (3/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): - - pulizia
- posizione
- disponibilità dell' host Non è precisamente una critica ma eliminerei i tappeti a pelo lungo
- Richard (7/5): Average, spoiled by above concerns - Clean, friendly helpful staff Must have access to WhatsApp or text on mobile as no one present for access to building or apartment. Unit directly over noisy pub open late into the night, so very noisy at night
- Jackie Otway (10/5): Lovely spot - Great location, clean, comfy. A tad noisy. Restaurants and an arcade nearby but otherwise fine after 11 pm.
- Michael (10/5): -
- Kristina (10/5): It was great ! - Great location right in the city A bit too noisy as there is few cafes,pubs near
- Margaux (10/5): J’aurais voulu rester plus longtemps - Très bien placé, proche du centre-ville à pied. Tout est bien pensé dans l’appartement pour un bon séjour. Un tout petit peu compliqué à trouver la première fois, mais une fois qu’on y est, on oublie vite cela.
- Raul (8/5): -
- Vina (6/5): Lots of room for improvements - Location , close to tram line
Has a kitchen which is beyond expectations. Room front on streets and shops, noisy still at midnite ;
Private bathroom very small, bed too soft, and windows are not sealed properly with draft gusting in. TV also not working.
- Flavio (7/5): - O quarto apesar de ter espaço e ser confortável tem um problema com a janela. Entrava frio pela janela e ouvia se muito o barulho da rua até das pessoas a falar.
- Maeve (8/5): Great value in a good location. - Location - right beside Luas and 25 min walk to all key areas. I had a little difficulty finding the property.

- Pamela (1/5): Misleading Listing - Undisclosed Shared Apartment - The cleaning lady was polite and professional, and I appreciated that she was present for check-in. The location of the apartment is central. This listing is fundamentally misleading. While it mentions "homestay experience," it does not disclose that you'll be sharing the apartment with other booking.com guests. I only learned upon arrival that another guest would be staying, which was extremely concerning as a solo female business traveler. Had I known this was a shared apartment with unknown guests, I would never have booked.
The room quality was poor for €120/night. The carpet was heavily stained, and the bedroom window has no proper insulation - constant street noise made sleep nearly impossible. Even after following instructions to adjust the window, it remained poorly sealed with cold drafts. I attempted to sleep in the living room but the stress of the undisclosed shared arrangement caused severe sleep disruption before critical business meetings.
Additional issues: only basic toiletries provided despite listing saying otherwise, the carpet in my room was heavily stained, no coffee despite photos showing it, dirty cleaning sponge and stained kettle, wet laundry left drying in common areas during my stay.
The cleaning lady remained working for 2 hours after check-in, preventing use of common areas (the working desk) of an online meeting and I had to do it from my bedroom instead resulting in poor posture.
The host communicates through the cleaner via WhatsApp rather than directly.
- Cornelia (7/5): Zu teuer! - Netter und zuvorkommender Empfang. Flexibel bei Check out. Durfte 2 Stunden länger bleiben. 150€ für ein Shared Apartment ist zu teuer. Hatte bei der Buchung wohl auch übersehen, dass es sich um ein Shared Apartment handelt. Meiner Meinung nach nicht klar ersichtlich. Ausstattung und Zustand eher Basic. Kein Fön.
- Darron (8/5): Pret good, would certainly stay again - It was a good spot for a night. I would certainly recommend a stay here for one person. The location is safe, easily accessible, has LUAS right outside the door (when it is operational). The shower was disappointing. Unfortunately, the flow was extraordinarily low and the heat was lacking. I did not ask the proprietor specifics about the shower, so this is partially on me, but I had higher hopes for it nonetheless.
- Ihor (10/5): -
- Koubková (10/5): -
- Carlita (10/5): - Tout Tout
- Pascal (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - Localisation Assez bruyant le soir car donne sur une place avec restaurants et bars
- Claudio (9/5): ottima sistemazione a Dublino ad un prezzo ragionevole - pulizia, dimensioni appartamento e confort una stanza ha il bagno in camera, l'altra no ma nel corridoio
- AKAGI (7/5): 快適に過ごすことができました。 - バス・LUAS・鉄道駅がそれぞれ近くにあり、移動するのにたいへん便利なロケーションでした。また、部屋の広さ、収納も十分にあり、快適に過ごすことができました。 ドアの鍵が空回りすることがあり、一番最初に外出した際はドアの鍵をなかなか開けられず、電話も部屋に置いて出ていたため、たいへん慌てることになりました。あらかじめドアの鍵の修理、もしくは最初に説明があればよりよかったと思います。
- Lypka (10/5): -
- Giulia (9/5): I would book there again - The lady in charge for the cleaning is a lovely Person 🩵 In the pictures was shown a Coffee machine in the room, and it looked like there was a welcome „something“. But it was just for the pics
- Leo (7/5): -
- Tolgahan (8/5): Temiz, güleryüzlü ve keyifli - Tesisin çalışanlarının güleryüzlü olması, evin temiz olması ve ihtiyaçları karşılaması sevindiriciydi. Her yerde olmayan priz dönüştürücü bile vardı. Konum olarak da fena sayılmaz merkeze 15 dakika yürüyerek ulaşıyorsunuz. Beğenmediğim bir şey yok aslında ama bu kadar temiz evin içinde ayakkabı ile gezmek istemezdim. Sadece öneri olarak ev terliği alınabilir diye düşünüyorum.
- Maria (10/5): -
- Mary (8/5): - Great location for 3 arena. On luas line so easy to get to. Very secure building. Didn't realise I was sharing app with someone else.
Wouldn't book again without making sure I would have a private room. But maybe that option isn't available..
- Marshall (9/5): Fantastic 👌👍 - Location ,staff upon arrival ,secure safe ,
Clean ,Quiet ticked all the box’s Nothing
- Mirko (7/5): -
- Milan (10/5): - Everything None
- Jake (9/5): -
- Ivan (10/5): - Отличная комната, удобная кровать, свой санузел. В квартире в общем доступе есть всё необходимое
- Christian (8/5): Nettes Zimmer im geteiltem Appartement - Schönes Zimmer mit eigenem Bad. Alles sauber, gute Ausstattung, TOP Lage In der Wohnung gibt es noch ein weiteres Zimmer was auch vermietet wird, so dass manot einer anderen Person in der Wohnung ist. Das ist in der Anzeige noch klar kommuniziert
- Donna (8/5): - Comfortable bed, quiet area, right beside shop/cafes/restaurant, walking distance to centre Better description of the premises/location would be helpful for check in
- Amanda (7/5): Pleasant room. Very bleak location, concrete metropolis. - Room was pleasant. Location. Too far from where I wanted to be.
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Martien (9/5): Perfect location and very clean! - Lovely location near Dublin express stop and walking distance from the city centre. Local shops and eateries at the doorstep.
Very clean! The double glazed window doesn’t close properly which causes a draft while the head of the bed is underneath… also unnecessary noise at night due to it.
Please note: bring your own Nespresso vertuo cups.. the picture might suggest there are cups available…. Luckily I was prepared for the fact if there was none!
- Norbert (5/5): - Ok Ok
- Paddy (9/5): -
- Ali Turab (10/5): -
- Greg (8/5): - Clean apartment; great location for convention centre. More specific location details to find apartment would have been helpful.
- Matthew (8/5): -
- Simon (8/5): Well located (quiet at night) and clean room in a shared flat. - Well located in a quiet area. Room was decent Room in a shared apartment where you hear your neighbor.
- Jibril (10/5): -
- Gettings (9/5): Very good - Convenient to Connolly Rail Station The only issue I had was the length of the bed was too short for a 6’ 3” person
- Emanuele (10/5): -
- Harry (9/5): -
- Yuliia (8/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): Great accommodation in City centre - The host was brilliant thought out, providing easy instructions for checking in and out, consistent communication and the location is fantastic!
- Scarabello (10/5): -
- Jeffrey (8/5): Very good -
- Sini (8/5): Very good - The room was well kept and clean. Convenient location, a walkable distance to main tourist attractions and Connolly train station was just around the corner. The host was really nice and allowed early check-in.
- Calvin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (5/5): OK but never again! - new, modern, clean and functional. location listed was NOT the actual location of the apartment. I spent time walking up and down the street, in the rain, looking for a place that didn't exist. Finally got help from the cleaning lady.
- Žnidarič (7/5): Good - Location was great, host was kind and helpful.
Walls are very thin so you can hear everything that happening on the same floor. I wish the bathroom was a bit cleaner.
- Maximilian (4/5): Not worth the money - Good location, terrible windows. I woke up every day at 6am because I could hear the seagulls. Bed was okay, living room was nice. The cleaner once threw out my food by accident, but otherwise okay. Way overpriced. Only leaving a review because I kept getting emails. Also the door handle came off
- Anna (6/5): Not terrible but expected much more for the price - The place looked fairly clean at first glance. Especially my room and the bathroom were clean except for a few details and the big problem that the window in my bedroom was drafty and there was black mould on the window frame and the blinds.
The living room looked comfy and clean. The kitchen wasn't dirty but there were several issues like the cupboard handles and appliances were sticky, the light switches were dirty, there was a pool of water on the bottom of the fridge - little stuff like that which added up and gave off a rather unhygienic and messy vibe that I don't expect for the price I paid.
There is another room where someone else is staying, which didn't cause any issues for me as we both weren't there a lot. But it is super difficult to do anything in the apartment without being loud, and you can basically hear each other talking through the thin walls - so I'd say, as it is, the apartment isn't very well suited to host two complete strangers.
Tiago was friendly and the check-in went okay even though it was a bit chaotic and unnecessarily stressful. He wasn't there in person but sent me pictures of the entrance on my arrival. Then the door didn't open and I had to wait for other inhabitants of the apartment complex to open for me. It would have helped me a lot to just get some handout of concise check-in information with the exact location of the place prior to check-in.
Generally, I missed getting more information. There were no labels on the rooms or kitchen cupboards, no other kinds of welcoming messages. This isn't super important to me but - along with the other details - it made the place feel more like someone wanted to make money off of their apartment with minimal effort instead of a well prepared guest apartment.
- Neil (8/5): Very good - Great communication from Tiago throughout and I was made to feel very welcome at the property. Good location which is next to a Luas stop and is in walking distance of the city centre. All good.
- Jacob (9/5): Superb -
- Ruiqing (8/5): Very good - Cozy and warm, with a nice kitchen
- Von (10/5): excellent -
- Willer (9/5): Superb - Very well located for City Centre.Luas stop outside the door. Variety of shops in the area.
Shared apartment with separate bedroom and private bathroom. Well equipped Kitchen.Excellent communications. Robert ( not Willer)
- Demi (10/5): My stay was excellent - The host was so gracious and the house was so clean. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it. Nothing
- Agnieszka (8/5): Would I stay here again? YES! - The location of the flat is very good- 5 min walk from the river Liffey, there is Luas just outside the building, which can take you to Dublin centre, 3Arena is 2 stops away by Luas or a 20 min walk. There are also shops, cafes and pharmacies all around the area! EPIC museum is less than 10 min walk. Overall, the area is really nice, the flat was clean and tidy, very bright and cosy! The communication with the owner was also very good. Just little things, like no frying pan, no coffee pods to use with the Nespresso machine - but to be honest, that didn't really bother me and didn't make my experience any less enjoyable.
- Beatrice (8/5): Certainly would recommend for the comfort and the excellent location - Well located, secure and comfortable. Good bed It would be nice to have some tea and coffee available for use.
Also I didn’t appreciate to be asked if I was on my own. Lack of trust here. I had told the young lady who did the check in that it was my grandson who was with me and who lived at the university.
Maybe it would be good to fix the handle on the front door before it comes off.
The laundry drying in the living room shouldn’t be there
- Jaume (9/5): Superb - Nice place to stay if you are going to a congress in Dublin, near the convention center and with easy access to public transport. Nice price for how it is in centric Dulin.
- Anna (8/5): Comfortable Stay at IFSC - Apartment was shared with another guest. We each had our own rooms and bathrooms. Bus is directly outside the building and walking distance to Temple Bar area is about 20 - 23 minutes. There was tea and coffee available as well as a washing machine. Host was great! There was no electrical outlet in bathroom. Directions to the location was not very clear.
- Lara (9/5): Great stay! I’d recommend it to anybody, especially Solo travelers. It’s close to restaurants, shops, metro, etc. and ab - The owners were super nice and helpful in case of any questions.
- Jaganmoy (8/5): Very good -
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment and really helpful host, will certainly stay again when visiting Dublin Nothing
- Jonathan (9/5): Superb - Very nice place to stay and it’s located in a convenient part. Communication with the host was excellent a few days before arriving and I was met at the property on arrival. Room was very comfortable as I was in Dublin for exams which was great, there are plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants nearby. I would have no problem staying there again and highly recommended. Very good value for money for Dublin.
- Liane (10/5): Convenient, comfortable, friendly - Highly recommend this place. The hosts were so helpful and friendly and very accomodating when I asked if it was ok to leave luggage both before check in and after check out. Incredible accomodation and so handy to everything. Tram right outside door. Plenty of options within walking distance for groceries, coffee, pharmacy and restaurants plus waking distance to River Liffey and attractions. It was so lovely to have a fully functional kitchen as well as a washing machine plus a super comfy loungeroom with a flat screen tv to chill out after a long day working. This is a shared apartment with two rooms however you have your own private bathroom and lockable door on bedroom. Bed was comfortable and ammenities clean and spotless. Nothing. It was perfect.
- Margaret (8/5): Good place to stay in Dublin City, I would recommend - A 3* self catering 2 bed apartment which you share with someone in the other bedroom. Good sized room. Use of kitchen was very welcome. Good facilities inc Fridge, microwave, large TV in living room etc. Tram stop just outside but within easy walk of city. 15 minutes by taxi from Stena terminal. Maybe sharing the apartment with a stranger would bother some people. It did not bother me as there is a lock on the bedroom door and it felt like being in a a B&B!
- Moritz (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice host, we didn't talk to much, but it when we did it were very nice conversations. The location was very nicely placed to, the city center was easy and fast reachable, either by foot (if you don't mind walking a bit) or with public transport
- Stefano (9/5): Perfect choice for a short stay in Dublin - The location was amazing, the room was comfortable and clean, the apartment was fully equipped.
- Suellem (10/5): Comfortable ,Good price and good location - Clean ,Comfortable bed ,great location and the host was very kind . Everything was great
- Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional - Better than expected!! Easy communication clean apartment with all you need including a nespresso coffee machine. Good location as well next to shops
- Mary (10/5): Tiago was so nice and accommodating! -
- Serene (9/5): Great stay - Fantastic, would stay again. Great location Nothing
- Lyndsay (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dolan (10/5): Exceptional -
- La (10/5): Exceptional - location perfect nothing
- Gustavo (10/5): Highly recommended. Attention, location, cleanliness and all that you need. - Excellent experience. The host was really helpful and available and had great recommendations to give. The place was tidy, clean and I had everything I needed. It even has toiletries, a coffee machine and a washing machine. Having a private bathroom is a big plus and a lock on the door. The area is the financial area of the city so it's very nice and well connected - the tram is outside the building. Highly recommended. Nothing that I didn't like. If nothing is not as expected or missing, the host is ready to provide a solution. There's a bit of noise from outside during the weekends, but I used the standing fan for a few hours to make white noise and cover the outside noise and I slept really well.
- Bonnin (10/5): A very great place to stay!!! - The owner was so friendly and he help you in everything he can. He let me leave my suitcases for my accomodation in his house, so I'm very thankful for this.
The location is in the city center so you have all you need close.
- Scott (9/5): A very nice host and a comfortable room in a location with easy access to just about everything. - The location for a visit to Dublin was ideal. Lots of food options and easy access to the central part of town, via foot or the light rail. Comfortable bed, plenty of privacy and security, and good wardrobe/drawer space. The area could be a bit noisy at night, which was surprising given the mostly corporate/business feel of the area. But not really a problem if the windows are closed.
- Barak (8/5): Good place, nice host and close to many things - Private room with private bathroom/shower with a lock on the door.
Nice and helpful host and a good choice of coffee.
Close to the Luas and gray place to eat. Didn't find anything I didn't like.
