It was great. Peaceful. Lots to do. Gorgeous food in Tom's bar.

This property is beautiful, historic, and run by exceptionally professional and helpful people. Although the boardwalk it sits on was buzzing with music and activity much later than anticipated, we couldn't hear it from the room and had a fantastic night's sleep in Room 1, the Picture of Dorian Gray.

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.

I booked Parnell Corner Apartments in July during high season. While centrally located north of the Liffey, the area is run-down, dirty, and unsafe. We witnessed three fights in one hour and multiple drug deals at Parnell/Moore St, forcing us to avoid walking at night. The apartment was a nightmare. Facing south during a heatwave with 15+ hours of sun, it had zero A/C or fans. Opening windows for air let in deafening noise from the tram (every 10-15 mins) and street shouting; earplugs and white noise apps couldn't block it. The main bed was saggy, lumpy, and lacked support, pillows were paper-thin, and there was no top sheet—only a heavy winter comforter. The "blackout" curtains failed at 5 AM. Floors were filthy with foot-pinching cracks. The bathroom had water damage, mold, and a poor layout that flooded the floor. The water heater rarely worked, forcing us into cold showers. It was advertised with a "washer and dryer," but there is no dryer, only a rack. Logistics are terrible: four locks to enter, and check-out rules require leaving keys inside, which kills elevator access so you must haul bags down stairs. Worst of all was a severe privacy breach. Staff entered while we were out and replaced our dining table without notice. Management took 15 hours to reply, blaming a system error. This violated their own terms for non-emergency access. With no in-room safe, we felt unsafe leaving belongings. It negatively affected our family trip; do not book here.
