Upper Lake

Very small basic room but had everything needed. Staff were all very friendly and helpful and hotel was great for leaving luggage due to late flight. Free coffee in reception although no one pointed this out to us and so didn't know until day we departed! Although it is classed as city centre, it was a good 20min walk to Temple Bar area but only 10mins to Guinness Factory and there is a tram stop about 2mins down the road. Air conditioning was a god send in the heatwave.

The room was nice and had nice basic furnishings, but was very dark. The water in the bathroom would jot get cold. We managed to be in Dublin during the heat wave, and our room was very hot, almost 90 degrees, and the provided fan did nothing to cool the room. It was cooler outside and in the hallway than in our room. We actually had to check out at 10pm our first night because of the heat and Uber across town to a different hotel. The Lesson Inn doesnt not allow cancelation after 3 days prior th check in, but we had no way of knowing that the room was going to be so hot 3 days before checking in. They refused our request to refund any portion of our 3 nught stay even though we were only there for a few hours. They only offered a complimentary 3 night stay later this year, but since we are from the overseas that is not a workable solution for us. We are now out the cost of 2 hotels for the same 3 nights.

Beautiful hotel, away from the busyness of the city nice a
