"The rooms are so charming. The beds are comfy and the showers are great .The pool is tiny but useful.Kind of weird you have to reserve it to use it. Every worker was friendly .The rooftop restaurant looked great but we didn’t actually get a chance to eat there.Id definitely stay here again!"

Queen Street Place
Citypoint Apartments
"I put a “3” for price/value, and maybe that’s not fair since hotels in Ireland are Switzerland+ levels of expensive. But the location is great, the apartment is as advertised, and I got my laundry done without having to go to a laundromat, which was the point."
