Point A Dublin Parnell Street

8/10 Good
"Staff is wonderful and helpful. Chloe was spectacular in her customer service, above and beyond and patient with all my questions. The rooms are definitely snug, we just had carry-ons and barely could find space for them. We were in an internal room which was great because it was so quiet at night. The beds were quite soft. Room and bathroom were clean. Location was great, easy walk to the south side of the river and touristy areas. A major con to the room is that there were no outlets by the one bed, only far away on the opposite end of the other bed, so plan who's sleeping where and where your devices will charge / be used over night. They also charge a 15 euro fee for early check in even if the room is available early, so not a huge amount, but slightly annoying. Never had a hotel do that before. They said it was because they have rooms dedicated for early check ins for people who pay for it, makes sense, but no other hotel I've stayed in has done that. Overall good stay and would recommend."

Told us about the amenities and made us feel very welcome. Upstairs at the Pub we also met just amazingly helpful people. This hotel is right in the middle of Old Town Dublin within walking distance to all we went to see and visit."
