Cathal Brugha Barracks Tours

We arrived and checked in ,given room keys which opened the smallest double bed room have ever seen.We thought our room was very warm with the excellent weather,but we soon realised that the air conditioning was not working.Member of staff was called and tried to reset it but ut didnt seem to work .We carried on with our stay and arrived back after midnight ,we had a few drinks in the lounge and went back to room which if anything was warmer.Staff member called and arrived to which he offered a change of room this was at 3.30am.Both rooms had nowhere to hang clothes ,1st room had a very small bathroom which was very dark,second room had a shower in bath but no shower curtain leaving the floor soaked.The door to bathroom was a sliding wooden door which was unstable and no lock ,this bathroom was even darker.Staff members were lovely throughout hotel.Food was amazing and breakfast on top floor was a lovely touch to our stay .10 min walk to Aviva stadium

Incomparable city centre location just off Grafton Street, opposite Bruxelles. Have stayed multiple times. Great studio apartments, spacious and really well appointed. Ideal for a weekend stay in the city . Cannot recommend highly enough.

We were surprised by the check in process. You have to collect your keys quite far from the apartment. So plan for a delay to use transit or a two-way taxi fare. The apartment was dirty. Mould in the closet. The beds were terrible (one like an air mattress & the other was hard as a board). The pillows were so used they were hard packed. The air freshener system is needed because a sewage smell came from one bathroom. The photos used to advertise the unit were not the same as the unit we stayed in. The unit has no views. It was an interior unit that looks only into courtyards. It was dark because it was on the first floor and the perimeter units towered over us. The only sunlight that came in was a reflection off of other apartment windows. The air freshener system malfunctioned & needed repair as it beeped every 10 seconds. The washing machine broke. We tried to spend as little time there as possible. The only thing I can say that is positive is that it’s located on a LUAS line.
