Apache is a good option for budget conscious travelers coming through Dublin. It's in the best part of the city for nightlife, literally steps away from amazing bars and restaurants, but right on a main road so it's pretty noisy until quite late in the night. In-person presence of management and personnel was also scarce, although the owner (I think) was available via WhatsApp and could pop in if needed. It wasn't particularly clean and nice, but wasn't particularly dirty or run down either.
Would I stay again? If I couldn't find other cheaper options, yes, definitely! Would I prioritize it? No, probably not.
3/5 stars because it truly was a middle ground stay, nothing particularly bad, but nothing particularly great either.
