Saggart Vacations from $1,371

Liked everything about the hotel, had some difficulty with booking otherwise was 5 stars

Felt only negatives were showers and taps which turn off water every 10 seconds. Apparently this is to save water but there’s much better ways like maybe having it turn off for a minute after 3 mins of use. It ends up being super frustrating and you can hear others in your pod and those next door banging taps every 2 seconds to get water going. Have to pay for towels taken every day. Also there’s no pool table and the social area besides the bar is actually very small. Not super social hostel, not for younger vibe I would say. Overall the room, pods are clean and bathroom is reasonably clean. Note that it’s not the safest area outside of the hostel itself, walk towards direction of main city if going out. Hostel itself secure.

The bed, room and facilities were fine, but it was a maze in there. The reception had been moved and the signs not updated so it took me 20mins to find my way out.

Check in was easy. My daughter and I arrived in Dublin early in the morning and had no issue accessing early check in. The room was clean, spacious and well equipped. The location was also great. Would definitely return.

We chose this apartment for its proximity to Temple Bar. We were a family of four staying here for a few nights. Pros: Great location and very walkable to many restaurants and bars. There's a separate living room and bedroom. Looks out over the river. The rental company was pretty responsive and our room was ready early when we arrived. Has a washer/dryer combo. Cons: It was noisy at night and kept up the two people sleeping in the living room on the foldout couch. There's no AC. We didn't realize this when booking it. It wasn't too hot when we stayed but it's definitely a consideration if it's the height of summer. The washer and dryer didn't dry our clothes. We watched the demo video the rental company had on the app but the washer we had didn't match the one in the video and the controls didn't make sense. While there was plenty of room, there wasn't much space to sit down other than on the foldout couch and bed. We weren't in the room a lot, though, so it was fine.
