No 9 Rathgar

Ok

I would recommend you stay somewhere else. This accommodation doesn’t have a desk clerk and is supposed to send you a key code to access the front door. I waited 1 hour outside with no help or contact from the staff. I was tired and hungry, thankfully Expedia was great and helped me gain access to the front door, but after that I had to wait another hour as I still did not have any information regarding my room. I was also told that my room was not ready and this facility has on their page that check in is at 2pm. I arrived at 2:15pm - due to lack of communication from the staff I did not get my room/any information to access my room until around 4pm. Once in the room it did not look like any of the photos on their Expedia page and it was not overly clean and was run down. I have since emailed the staff at this establishment about my experience and have not gotten a response.

What can I say about this trip? The place is nice enough although the photos were clearly taken years ago. Didn't receive a code to get in, the management are impossible to get hold of so we had to just turn up and hope for a miracle. Luckily a fellow guest let us in but had a similar experience to us and spent two hours trying to get in. The emergency numbers in the lounge are out of date, the management eventually answered - they don't like to answer mobiles due to spam WTAF when you have guests arriving. - but were less than helpful and tried to hang up saying use the code we have sent you. Honestly thought we would be sleeping on the street. The room was nice enough but there is no air con and the fridge didn't work. Wouldn't return due to the unnecessary stress of getting in. Area is great. Quiet with pubs and eating places within walking distance and plenty of buses into town

Positives - it wasn’t manned but the instructions received made it easy enough to self serve. The property is in a really good location. It felt safe enough. Potential improvements - The curtains in my room could have done with a clean. There was no milk provided with the tea and coffee - this was fine as there as a fridge so I walked to the shop but some miniatures would have been handy for when I first arrived. The shower overfills the tray very quickly and leaks onto the floor so probably needs looked at.

The property was ok, a bit pricy in comparison with other European cities, but ok when it comes to Dublin. There were some cobwebs around the corners of the room and some of the lights were not working. The main door whilst closed was making a lot of noise. Great location! The area was quiet and clean and with good bus connections . Great if you like a 40 min walk ti the city centre. a good experience overall

Stained sheets, unventilated bathroom, not toilet paper in the toilet

Room look

lovely

Nice area. Easy to get around.

Easy to find and access, the only issue was no towels in room and also lock on door broken so have to use a key safe.

I have stayed t this property many times and always been satisfied. Good location in South Central Dublin with easy transport to the city and many amenities close by. Good value for money.

This is very much a self service hotel. Ideal for travellers who just want to get on with it, without having the fuss of interacting with anyone. Check in was via email and codes for hotel and room entry. All worked seamlessly. My room was clean and functional without being special and I was more than happy with that.

This was a delightful property. It is an older building which was been added to and updated. The room was clean and roomy. It was a delightful stay. We came back to Dublin for our last night and I definitely wished that I had booked this property for that night as well. I highly recommend this property.

No additional coffee cream available for 2nd night

Great place location is perfect

I have stayed here previously and was very happy and satisfied so rebooked this time I was in Ireland, however very disappointed, the noise was non stop and the front door was horrendously loud banging all hours of the night, definitely they need to sort this out. I doubt very much I will return to this establishment.

I had a heavy suitcase and had to wheel it over gravel to get to the steps and then had to lug my bag down stairs with no help. When I got to my room, it was so small that there wasn’t even room for a luggage stand to open my bag up. The sink in the bedroom with no light to put on my makeup was a cherry on top.

I stay here quite often for business in Dublin always , clean , confetsbke and hassle free . Just this time there was no remote for the tv in the room , other than that , all good.

The room was spotless and the location is nice. Very limited car parking space in the front and back. The overnight street parking is free till 8 am, so you have to move your car or pay and display. I stayed in for a week and noticed that there was not a routine room service, so you have to ask for it, if you want your room doing. I understand the self check in and out process. The extraction fan inbthe bathroom was not efficient (or may be was not working) hence everytime I took a shower the room turned into a sauna (room 107). I have not dined there at all so I cannot comment on that. Overall, reasonable and quiet stay.

Last night before heading to the airport. Due to me running late the access codes were sent to me online so I was able to get to my room with no issues. Rooms were clean and convenient.
