Great place to sleep in Dublin for a night or two. Room was huge - there were 2 of us but it could have slept 6! It was about a 20 minute walk to the centre which was perfect for exploring and the price was excellent compared to other hotels. It was self-check-in so we didn't see any staff.

Code didn't work for check in as I was emailed the wrong one.. managed to phone someone who gave me the correct one but if you arrived at night and didn't have a roaming package your stuffed. The room itself was fine but god awful hot no fan or AC to speak of can't open the windows because the extractor from the takeaway beneath just blasts directly into the room. For £100 for a private room isn't all that cheap I don't think but relatively cheap for Dublin. Only stayed hear because I was to leave at 4am for the airport probably wouldn't stay again but ultimately you get what you pay for

Questionable if sheets were cleaned between use, as there was a copious about of black lint on every bed, and multiple strands of hair everywhere on the sheets. In addition, there was NO HOT WATER, and we went in January. The instructions say to flip the switch for 15 mins for hot water, and hot water never came. Neighborhood is extremely walkable and tourist friendly for public transport, but there are also many other hotels in the area.

Brutal...could NOT even get inside the Building (had to wait for a pre-existing guest to return to the premises [with his take away lunch] and open the Front door for himself to gain entrance), after ringing the doorbell and knocking on the Front door for over 45 minutes!! NO staff members on the premises at all and there was NO "front desk" to check in at, even though the property states there is in the 'Confirmation' email that I received. My Guest and I were out a Room, I ended up booking in at another Hotel and he ended up driving back home to the very south of Ireland in Wexford! Absolutely NO/Zero compensation whatsoever (not even partial compensation)!! I would NOT even consider staying there ever again...NOT even if it was FREE!! Front door is a single man door which is NOT very well marked either, so very hard to spot unless you have your Google Maps handy! GOOD Luck if you decide to stay there!!! The Positive is it is handy to the core of the Dublin City and the Train....but there is a fairly steep hill (upwards) for 2 blocks to reach the Building. ***Plenty of well marked Hotels (down the hill and at more level ground), closer to the core of Dublin City, closer to the Trains, and closer to the River, than KGT House...where they actually have a 'Front Desk' with staff members onsite!!

Do not stay here.
This is probably the worst place I’ve ever stayed in. You can literally hear every foot step taken extremely loudly, the beds are load and squeak with every move, never mind any night time activities, and the bathroom fan is extremely loud. Avoid!

For a budget stay, this works. It was like pulling some teeth to get the info to get in to the room because the property owner sends the info like the very last minute. So if you don't have data or wifi you have to wait until after 1130am. When you're jet lag it's difficult to read all the instructions and rules in the room. It would have been nice to have the sign for the switch for the hot water. One of the room we stayed the switch for hot water was hidden so we had to figure it out. It

I met some two nice people there and I was happy to see some facilities to make coffee and microwave food which is not found in many hostels. But there was a few people that had all their stuff everywhere, including a lady above me who had shoes and stuff in my locker and it took me a few times of asking for her to let me use my locker.

It was about 15' walking far from Temple bar. It is quite old and simple, but correct acording to prices in Dublin. There isn't breakfast option after covid. Our room was for 3 people and it had 2 different joined rooms, which was perfect. The interphone doesn't work but once they have the room ready they send a code to the booking email with a code number to enter. Just a place to sleep

Clean accommodation near City centre.
Nice, clean accommodation. Short walk from Drumcondra railway station, and into the city centre. Check in details were emailed to me the morning of our stay. Our room was nice and warm, and the premises seemed to be quite quiet. Room had a microwave which was handy, but no kettle. I would definitely stay here again. The eircode for the accommodation needs to be corrected to make it easier for people to find.

There were 3separate beds, that was nice. The location is a 20 minute walk from the city centre. There is a busstop in front of the house. We did not like the smell in the house. You get 1 towel to use for 5 days. There is no frontdesk for any questions. It's noisy in- and outside.

Il n'y a pas de personnel mais ça on le sait quand on réserve donc ce n'est pas problématique, il suffit de se connecter à ses mails pour avoir les codes. Il faisait très chaud dans la chambre et le problème d'ouvrir les fenêtres est que l'hôtel se situe au dessus d'un kebab donc nuisance olfactive. Par ailleurs, Dorset street est bruyante donc les nuits n'ont pas été d'un grand repos. Autrement le point positif est que vous êtes à 15/20min du centre.

La posizione è ottima per visitare la città a piedi. La fermata dell'autobus proveniente dall'aeroporto è proprio davanti all'albergo. La stanza è carina e accogliente, e sembrava ben pulita. Purtroppo la doccia non funzionava molto bene, alternando acqua bollente ad acqua fredda. Un problema è stato che è possibile effettuare solo il self check in non essendoci una reception, l'hotel dovrebbe mandare le istruzioni il giorno stesso dell'arrivo (poiché il codice per accedere cambia ogni 24 ore) e non me le ha mandate nonostante i solleciti. Siamo riusciti poi a chiamarli e ad ottenere le istruzioni anche se con una certa difficoltà. Nel complesso comunque lo consiglio per brevi soggiorni per visitare comodamente la città!

Hotel 100% numérique !
Belle chambre, avec de petites attentions comme possibillté de bloquer porte pour passer valise (enfin un hôtel qui le comprend !). Sèche cheveux, shampoing, etc... Dommage que tout se fasse par téléphone, y compris pour avoir tous les jours à partir de 14h00 un code pour entrer . On ne voit personne en dehors des femmes de ménage qui ne parlent pas anglais!

Très bien. Dublin est une ville cosmopolite avec une architecture harmonieuse alliant patrimoine ancien et moderne ! Dommage que les rues ne soient pas "secure" le soir dans certains quartiers... ça n'incite pas à sortir !
