kitchen

Visited for 5 days last week with two friends. Was not expecting too much but pleasantly surprised by our apartment. Two  bedrooms, one en-suite, which was great. Upstairs was open plan with sitting area, dining table & adequate kitchen with dishwasher. Warm, which was nice at beginning of March. Easy walking distance of city centre. Some good places to eat close by, especially take away. Handy Spar & M&S food. Excellent value.

Great

Stayed here with three friends. It was a nice flat generally but a bit run down lots of things broken oven and job were useless shower in en suite didn’t work when other shower was on, lots of little bits that need fixing like washing machine falling apart bin lid missing. It looks like they’ve added a couple of gawdy chairs to spruce it up but it didn’t work. 

It’s kind of fair for the price but it’s nothing special, but like mildly upgraded student accommodation. Also the demand for the security deposit is quite passive aggressive if you don’t send it immediately. 

I wouldn’t stay again but it’s fine if you’re not staying in much and just need a place to rest your weary head.

Fairly average

Well situated as refers to centre. Not suited for disabled people. It was very quiet during the night. There is no cleaning during the stay, but that can be ordered. There’s a washing/drying machine in the kitchen but no dishwasher! We never had a meal in the apartment but would have wanted egg cups and bowls. The bathroom was ok but the drain in the tub was clogged and each time you use the water and enormous noise came from the wardrobe - meaning don’t wash your hands or flush the toilet during the night if you don’t want to spoil the night for your companion. The bed was not very broad and the mattress felt like a water mattress so not comfy. There was not enough space to roll out the sofa. But nevertheless a better alternative to the lively bed. 
We had a nice stay though and enjoyed the city. 

Friendly and helpful staff 

TL;DR: My apartment was fine, although in a noisy area with un-useable WiFi, and questionable kettles, and no real ironing board. 

I stayed several nights on a work trip. The check in office is right off the Luas line, but your apartment could be anywhere in the area. I was given a map to get to the apartment, and just about navigated. The apartment itself (90 Spencer House) was clean, and reasonably sized (some colleagues had smaller ones). The kettle had some liquid in it that looked discoloured and smelled like bleach, as if it hadn't been cleaned correctly. Didn't use. Some tea, coffee provided and some snacks - appreciated. Small bathroom. 

One thing that drives me nuts (in general) is when hotels and apartments provide unusable irons. I was on a work trip, and I'm sure I'm not the only one on work trips at these apartments. But when we're provided with a tiny "ironing" board (pictured) and an iron that leaks everywhere and scorched my shirt (only a little, thankfully) it's just so frustrating. After this work trip, it's unlikely I'll take a leisure trip here or recommend them to others. 

The area is unavoidably loud, something the company cannot avoid, but I'm mentioning for your information. The apartment I had was off the Luas line, but I could still hear it and at night, people would be yelling and singing in the area. Someone colleagues had apartments right on the street, with the Luas being a constant nuisance for them. 

The WiFI was unusable. It connected, but couldn't load pages. I know of one other apartment a colleague was at that had the same issue. We just used our mobile hotspots. Admittedly, this is an issue that could have been rectified but it was just as easy to use our mobile data, but a consideration if you're from abroad and have the same issue. 

No question on how we found the stay on check out.  

Would not be rushing back at all, or recommending to others.

Underwhelming Stay

Stayed in July 2019. Smelly foyer, dated apartment with loose windows which let in plenty of noise. One bed had dirty sheets.
The following morning I refused to stay for the second night and they refused to issue a refund.
Got very little sleep and that was thanks to ear plugs.

Terrible!

The interior of this apartment was a big let down nothing like the pictures on the site:
toilet - lose tiles and flooring all marked with dampness
Bolier very noisy no vent on cupboard
Head board lose and rattled of the wall
Kitchen flooring holes in it
Livingroom carpet all lose a rolled up at edges
Balcony door dodgy and stick, friend got stuck on the balcony

Poor standard

Arrived to the key collection at 4 to find no keys, meaning I was paying for having less time in the apartment.

Got in to find stains on carpets, bed sheets and walls that have what looks like blood,plus a broken chair.
The worst thing was the ants in the bathroom that I killed thinking that would be the end of it, but no next morning they were in the bed, bath and walls of the bathroom, found itchy bites on my legs. All my clothes had ants climbing all over them,I feel there's a big pest problem with the old apartments and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. The only good thing about the place was the closest to the city center, would highly avoid the place in future.

Also videos have been taken but the  TripAdvisor website only allows photos to be  uploaded, so I'll edit this post with links to the videos on YouTube when I get home later today.

This is disgusting and unacceptable.

Avoid Ants everywhere

Although well situated for our needs, the apartment we were assigned was dirty and poorly maintained, resembling sub-standard student housing rather than an apartment that you would rent for short term holiday stays.

Issues included:
- FIlthy, stained, buckled carpets in all rooms. The carpet was so dirty that we couldn't walk in the apartment without wearing shoes.
-There were no bulbs in in the light fixtures in the second bedroom.  We had to pull bulbs from other fixtures to have light in the second bedroom.  Bulbs were missing from several other light fixtures. 
- The patio was covered in mold and was so dirty that it was unusable. 
- The internet wasn't working. We called Guest Services who informed us that we would have to wait until the following day to have this issue addressed.  That meant that we were without internet for a full day of our trip.
- The apartment smelled like dirty socks.
- The blinds had fallen off one of the bedroom windows and were left lying on the windowsill.  This meant that pedestrians and people in the building across the street could see directly into the bedroom.
- The heat in the apartment could not be adjusted and came on around 8 p.m. This meant the apartment was cold during the day and hot during the night.  We were advised that this issue could not be remedied.
- The walls in the bedrooms were filthy.
- There was blood on the kitchen cupboards.
- There were only three forks in an apartment that sleeps four people.
- The living room couch was broken and unusable.

It is too bad that management is not interested in maintaining these apartments.  A small investment in new carpeting and furniture would make all the difference.

Stay away

Excellent location situated in the financial district of Dublin. Just 4 minutes walk from the convention centre.
Satisfying for a family.  

But with this comes the responsibility of hospitality that obviously the management need to be aware about. We were not impressed. The way the receptionist talks in the phone needs to be audited. One is not paying such amount of money to be spoken to in such a way. I would not recommend this place to any of my colleagues.

Need a lesson about hotelling and hospitality

The room looks nothing like the pictures, it smells of a grandmas house, booked for 14 people and put in 4 different buildings miles away, room for 4 set up for 2 apparently you have to specify that you want 4 people in more than one bed. The sofa bed doesn't even turn into a bed. Alex M is the most unhelpful person in the world.
