Our stay was very comfortable. It was well equipped. The apartment was clean and convenient for all city attractions and amenities.
Only one observation. I only received the request for the security deposit less than four hours before we arrived when I had switched my phone off for our flight. Hence I didn't get final check in details until just before we arrived.

The room was clean and the location was covenient.
I received an email about missing deposit payment after my stay. The missing payment made the check in difficult and I had to stand on the street to figure out the problem. I was glad that I didnt arrive late at night.
Also there was loud noises during the night. The door was banged loudly almost 10minutes.

Check in nightmare
Had to chase on the day to get link to pay deposit despite getting passive aggressive emails saying I couldn’t check in until I had paid the deposit. Should have been able to check in at 16.00 but had to phone at 17.00 to try and get check in details. Unnecessary stress. Exposed brickwork is ok but exposed plasterboard looks dirty and unappealing

Property was nice, clean & tidy. The additional €100 security charge on top of standard price of a room is a bit high in my opinion, and you must pay this charge before you receive the entrance codes. However would I stay there again yes

I would rate this place a 1 star on the check in process. No check in counter. It was self check in. I got there and nobody was there. Had to call on my cell phone and probably spent 20 bucks in phone charges trying to get into the building. A few other customers were really unhappy about the check in process also. Part of it was Expedia's fault for not displaying the fine print of self check in on their page. Once i got in to the room i was pleasantly impressed with the room. Clean, comfortable beds spacious. If the check in process was easier i would have rated this place 4 stars. Just beware no hotel clerk will be waiting for you.

Despite it being a self check in and out and a bit of confusion at the start, it was a lovely large room, more like a large bedsit, immaculate and great shower, 5 mins walk to Grafton Street.
Ill be back.

Second time I don’t get the access code to get into the room
Also room 002 has nothing similar to the rooms in the top floor. Poor quality and very noisy
I suggest they improve the check in process to don’t leave guests in. The street and double glacé windows for the noise
Also the green lights in the room cannot be turned off, difficult to sleep

It is a wonderful place to stay, centrally located and within walking distance of most places that we wanted to visit. My one wish would be that there was a way to recycle plastic and paper.

Great Studio. Poor communication from Hotels.com
My stay was very good. The accommodation exceeded my exceptions and good value. However the poor communication to me from Hotels.com regarding the checkin procedure & security deposit left me out in the rain before getting into my room. Had it not been for the staff at the hotel guiding me it would have taken longer. The Hotel and staff were great. Hotels.com not so much.

The room was great. Clean, well-kept, with excellent wifi, the only thing is we could not figure out how the heater worked, so it was a little bit cold

Was locked out of the building before I could check in. Worst experience Ive ever had with a hotel. Refusing to refund me after not letting me in to the room. Never using Expedia again.

Great accommodation, irritating check in
A lovely stay in high standard accommodation. A good location too away from the immediate noise and crowds but still within walking distance of everything. The room was large. The check in was very poor though, when we got there we discovered we should have been sent pre information and also had to pay a security deposit outside of our booking app through a random payment tool. After making phone calls and payment we were allowed to check in. The communication should have been better and I resent paying a deposit outside of our booking app.

Quite quirky rooms with interesting layouts. It doesn't feel very secure when travelling alone with no key lock, or chain lock on the doors (there were 2 connecting doors to my room). Bed was very comfortable, shower was great and had everything I needed in the kitchen. Check in was fine as others said it was difficult but once you follow the instructions it's pretty simple. Rooms a little on the cool side with breezes through the vents but this didn't bother me too much.

Would recommend
Great value for money, lovely place. Very clean and fairly quiet given it's location. Free on street parking from 7pm to 7am. Jervis parking is €15 for a day. Should add that you enter via the back entrance. The front door should add an arrow pointing right. Also I was given a code for the room but not told it was for a lock box to get the key for the room. Not being familiar with this I'd to ring on arrival. Was assisted immediately do all good. Lovely lunch spot across the street Tang and a fab wine bar below.
