The room was very nice and within walking distance of everything in central Dublin. Unfortunately, my host did not inform me that the front door of the building was going to be replaced during my stay. I came back from a day trip at 9pm on Tuesday to find the front door boarded up with no keyhole or door knob. I had received no messages about this. I am very lucky that another guest was in the building who heard me banging on the boarded-up door and shouting my host’s name, who came down to show me around through the back. I was not made aware that there was a back entry where I could use my key. The back entry was through a small door, about 4ft tall, behind the garbage bins. The room itself, however, was very pleasant, in spite of that experience.
