My Husband and 21 month old daughter stayed at the Ballsbridge Premier Suites for two weeks in late August/early September (with a break in between). We arrived at the accommodation at 9am on a Saturday morning after travelling for over 24 hours from Australia. We were exhausted. Premier Suites were amazing and had a room ready for us when we arrived, even though check-in isn't usually until the afternoon.

The apartment and the premises are exceptionally clean, and you really have everything you need for short-stay accommodation. The staff are so friendly - I can't speak highly enough of the staff. There is only a few staff that work there so over the two weeks we saw the same friendly faces, and they are so helpful and go out of their way to help you.

It's also baby friendly, and they have complimentary coffee (Nspresso machine) and tea in the foyer, plus facilities to make tea and coffee in your room. The laundry facilities are great, and it meant we returned home with suitcases full of clean washing. An added bonus was a complimentary breakfast that's available between 6am to 11am each day (6am is a fabulous time when you compare it to other hotels in Dublin, as generally breakfast starts at 7/8am). Although very basic, it was still great to have access to museli, porridge, cornflakes and croissants from 6am each morning.

The first week our one bedroom apartment was compact, but large enough for the three of us, and the cot fitted fine next to the king size bed in the room. The mattress was great - not like some of those uncomfortable hotel mattresses you tend to come across. The bathroom is just gorgeous, and like new. For our second week after we had a break in between to travel, we were given a huge one bedroom apartment on the second floor. It was incredible. The apartment really made our last few days in Dublin so relaxing, and my little girl loved the huge space to run around and play.

The apartment is located in one of Dublin's high-end, wealthy suburbs, so the stroll to the local supermarket is gorgeous, as you pass by such superb housing and commercial residences. It's also a 25 minute walk into town, or you can jump on the bus across the road. The Dart (Dublin's train) is also around the corner so you can visit Dublin's popular sea side town, Bray.

My family and I will definitely return to this accommodation when visiting Ireland again, including my extended family.

Thank you Premier Suites.
