Friendly staff in a historic hotel in the heart if Dublin

This is one of those places where you seldom see staff. Everything can be done through your phone. Check in / check out / door locks / luggage storage can all be done without involving a human - which I didn't mind.Hotel was clean and very well situated. Rooms were a bit "thumpy." I kept hearing what sounded like furniture being moved around or sacks of potatoes being tossed around. Never figured out what the commotion was, but it was consistent. Overall a recommend.

Conveniently located near a park and shopping center; No air conditioning but that’s just part of being in Europe. No elevator as well which made carrying the luggage a bit challenging. Overall, we are fine with our stay

This property is in a great location but the complex is very loud. We were not able to keep the windows open at night due to the noise of neighbours. Music, yelling, etc. We were a family of four even thought for some reason our booking said 5 people. When we got there, there were only 2 baths towels. The outlets in both bedrooms did not work and there was no iron. I contacted the property through email and the app and didn’t hear back for over three hours. They did come fix the outlets, bring towels and an iron but they came in when we were not there and we did not know before we had went out they would be coming. This property has potential but wasn’t what we were hoping for.

So our flight got in early and i requested early check in. I thought the app could do it. But there were issues. I was extremely frazzled and annoyed initially trying to figure out exactly where the bldg was and def confused on the listing as to what apt number we were. There’s no one on site so you’re kinda at the mercy of emailing. We are from the us so of course we were having issues w eSIM and phones working. We sat in the ice cream gelato place while I frantically msgsd Eventually we figured it out. But once in. The apartment was totally wonderful. We had zero idea how to properly use the washing machine.. it said it was gonna take 9 hours 😂😂😂 The water was sorta sketchy at best. First day we got hot water. Second day. Not so much. Location was fabulous and super cool apartment but wish they had better ways to communicate and maybe a sign that says “city break apartments” so at least you know your at the right building

We liked how central this property was, and that the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and laundry facilities were functional and comfortable. When we arrived at the apartment we experienced flies swarming around in the hallways and inside the apartment. Not a great first impression. The building and apprtment are older, there's visible signs of wear and tear. Cleanliness in the common areas (halls and lobby was lacking). Some of the windows were broken and needed repair and attention in the apartment itself, the mechanical closers were just busted and didn't work. Picture missing on the wall. Serviette stuffed in the old deadbolt key hole that was never repaired. The area is noisy at night, people yelling and sirens constantly. Definitely take ear plugs! The check-in process of having to download a 3rd party app and picking up the apartment keys at another location (City Breaks office) was super inconvenient! Depending on which property you are staying with this agency, be prepared to either walk with your luggage, take multiple taxis/buses if you don't have a car - just to check-in! If you are young partiers and like proximity to lively pubs and restaurants, this is a great place for you! If you are a family, maybe try a quieter part of the city.
