Honestly, I have to praise this aparthotel because I was very pleased with my stay.
Despite being right on a main city centre traffic artery, my fourth-floor studio (facing an inner courtyard) was very quiet at all times, and deathly quiet with the window closed. I'd pre-checked in, so actually checking in was quick and easy - and all the staff were super friendly. They couldn't have been nicer, and even let me just leave my bulky bag behind today for a couple of hours when I was leaving - greatly appreciated!
My studio, like everywhere else in the aparthotel, was spotlessly clean and comfy - and I was delighted to find that there were even a couple of tablets there for the studio's quiet washing machine (I was grubbier and overheated in warmer than expected weather in Dublin, so I was very pleased to do some unplanned clothes washing and ironing, thanks to that washing powder tablet!)
Everything looked and felt very new; there was very minor staining on the rug, but I've seen much worse in fancier hotels and places, and it didn't detract at all from the stay. There was lots of hot water with good pressure, and even some USB charging points. I'd been nervous about going out to any bars etc because of covid, and knowing that, an Ex came over to see me at the aparthotel instead, and was also very impressed by the studio and building.
In the end, I did have a couple of drinks alone one night at the attached but very quiet aparthotel bar, which was also spotless and comfy - and the barwoman, and other bar staff, were also very friendly and welcoming; I noticed they were pleasant to everyone, without being too intrusive. Drinks there were a little pricier than at an ordinary bar or pub, but that's what you expect from such a venue, and it was worth it to have that calm and space in these Covid times.
I've praised this place highly, so the only negative was that I hadn't any view - just a single, narrow window with frosted glass that could only be tilted open a crack, rather than opened, so I've no idea what was outside. But if you're a tourist who'll always be out, or just a former local who's back in town for a few days, I can't see that being an issue, although it left me guessing a bit what to wear each morning. That was probably just because of my particular requested elevated studio's placement inside the building; I imagine most have some kind of city or other view. It also took me about an hour to notice the panel with all the light and appliance switches etc, but that may have been a peculiarity of my studio's layout.
So, absolutely and genuinely, I thoroughly recommend staying here - that was great, and for comfort, cleanliness, location and friendly staff, they just got everything right it seems, and did a better job of it all than bigger, more expensive places I've stayed in around the world. Thanks for a great stay!
