I loved the way that the b&b its so clean and smell sooo nice. The only issue that we have was car park as they were full so we had to park in another street (the hotel Avenue was also full). But in general it was a good stay :)
Amazing place good location, not in the center but very easy to go there, nice staff very helpful and kind, wonderful furnitures and decoration i loved it
Very poor WiFi and tv signal
Public transport links not very well signposted
Called to arrange late check in and person on phone was extremely brusque - almost cancelled my visit

Shade was broken. Mattress was worn out. Sagged in the middle and we could feel every spring. Was billed as a B&B but there was no breakfast.

OK place in a nice neighborhood
Nice person helping. Not close to city center, bus service is a few blocks away. Our room has small maintenance details unattended (trim, broken window handle).
This property was very clean. Property was in a convenient location. I would be more than happy to stay in this property again.

They told me they had a problem with the room and could not stay there on my arrival. No advanced warning or phone call. I suspect they let my room out to someone else. When I called the mobile number as a contact it went straight to voicemail.
Had to look for another place to at at9.00pm at night. NOT RECOMMENDED.
Good for the price, no water on the first morning with no real explanation or apology. Check in was a little flawed because they couldn’t seem to find my booking. Very clean and my room was lovely so all in all the stay was good.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We were led to believe it was a hotel with quality rooms but was more of a B&B. The rooms were nothing special (converted living room) and the toilet was upstairs. Bed linen wasn't ironed.
1. Liked the proximity of the property to where my nephew lived.
2. Liked the bed.
3. Liked we were able to make tea.
4. Liked the breakfast, but it’s extra 7 euros per person.
Problems we had with the property:
1. No room to leave suitcases open.
2. I liked the shower but there wasn’t any shelves for shampoo, or a place for my razor and shave cream except on the floor.
3. The light over the sink didn’t work or we couldn’t figure out how to make it work.

Very good
Really nice room, plenty of space in the accommodation. Very friendly.
Parking was a small negative as it wasn’t clear where the best place to park was on the street. Also you can hear everything from other rooms.
Apart from that I would definitely stay again.
They are telling me “if you are check-in after 10pm you can pay to us 5€ more” but I was paid online!. its so interesting.. don't think to visit again

The room was clean tidy and comfortable. When we arrived we were told that breakfast wasn't included in the price and that the room had no bathroom. I was shown where the bathroom was by a member of staff in the afternoon but the next morning was informed that this was a staff bathroom. Overall all I was a little disappointed considering the price of the room
Not a nice place dirty and grubby family room €99 is a joke it’s not worth .99 cent traffic noise kept us awake all night dirty finger prints all over the walls. Dangerous door lock infact it actually fell off. Dump

It was €144 for a room which was cheaply furnished (IKEA) with the 'private' bathroom upstairs ! Not the best by a long way.

Servicio excelente, lo demás bien.
La habitación estaba limpia aunque un poco descuidada (todas las paredes tenían marcas), las primeras toallas que nos dieron estaban bastante mal y no había secador (aunque ponía que si disponía de uno). Siendo un B&B el breakfast no está incluido en el precio aunque no es muy caro y es bastante completo. La parte positiva es el servicio, muy atenta y agradable.
La situación para ir al centro no es lo mejor, en nuestro caso era por que tenemos amigos cerca, pero a poco que andes hacia la costa hay algo más de ambiente, pero no demasiado.

Accueil assez froid et peu sourirant
Pas de tapis de douche et juste 2 serviettes de toilettes......
Un peu déçus vu le tarif..... nous avons séjourné dans des chambres moins chers et bien mieux au tout niveau
Insonorisation peu convenable...... nous avons entendu les relations sexuelles de gens logés en face....

Close to the Ferry for home
The property has obviously been recently renovated and was clean and comfortable but provided Very few amenities. There were no glasses ,limited soap,shampoo etc. And it was 150 Euro per night for room only ......way too expensive ! We only paid 71 Euro for the Maldron Hotel & Spa and had all the facilities of a hotel chain !
This was over the top expensive !
Nothing much worse than driving for hours to your confirmed reservation to be told " sorry, we have no room for you". To top this off, I was still there at midnight - ( 11/2 hours after arrival) and they could not find me another lodging. Therefore I have nothing good to say.

Ce n'était qu'une étape d'une journée sur Dublin. Nous pensions que c'était un hôtel, c'est plutôt une chambre chez l'habitant. Celle-ci était grande et propre au rez de chaussée. Nous avions une belle salle de bain privée, mais elle se trouvait à l'étage.
