It was impossible to have to go far away from the apartment to “register”, and only get instructions to get keys who then still were a block away from the apartment, in a lockbox that was hidden in an area behind two doors (not exaggerating), and nobody explained that there were two different codes -one to get behind the doors, then another one (that they forgot to tell us!) to open the lockbox to the key….. We finally got in, only to find someone working on a broken bathroom door… it was cold but it took a lot of trial and error to get any heating working… then there was no hot water, until we figured out that there’s a hidden water heater (that also nobody told us about…) that open actually needs to “boost” only to get any hot water at all… The fact that there was absolutely hideous music coming from the touristy bar across the street wouldn’t have been an issue since this is to be expected with a place in the middle of the party tourist zone… Redeeming qualities were that it was moderately clean-ish, and good location if one likes to party! And a fantastic pub right underneath with actually beautiful music at night, making up for the trash across the street! The bed in the bedroom was a bit of a torture instrument… but it was clean and warm. The pull out couch covering the entire living room in its pulled out stage was also hard as rock but clean- again, fine if you just want to party and then keel over… Sorry I was too cheap to get a nicer place- wasn’t worth it!

This trip was disappointing. One accurate part was that it was, in fact, in Temple Bar district. Apparently, I should have known this was not the area for me, but alas, I have never been to Dublin so I didn't honestly know any better. I'll start with check in. It was a nightmare. Never got the email for check in until after I was able to finally connect with someone. The directions led you to an inaccurate location, had to walk to a secondary location to collect a key for the apartment (WHICH WAS NOT THERE), had to call 21 times to reach someone after being hung up on, had to wait until they found the key (mind you this is 4.5 hours after allowed check-in). The cleaning staff forgot to return it, so we had to walk to a THIRD location to meet her at our apartment. After a very long and tiring day of travel with 2 small kids -- this was a very painful endeavor. I will follow it with, everything is loud, and filthy. Loud because across the way there is a pub, next to pubs around pubs and the drinking and dunk songs will go into the wee hours ending around 4:00 AM... To then be followed up by 6:00 AM construction start time in the building NEXT DOOR. This stay was horrible and had I not paid over $3,000 booking it, I would have left and found better accomodations. I generously give it a 1 star, but frankly, not even deserving of that.

Refrigerator didn’t work. QR code provided for appliance instructions didn’t work. Had to figure out how the hot water worked. Provided a stained duvet for couch pullout bed. Replacement linen was provided, but it was sheets, no blanket, and no pillow cases. Also, the linen was dropped off inside the apartment while we were asleep. We found that quite odd.

Great location. It does get noisy but you are in the middle of Temple Square so it is expected. We had a couple of small issues but host was quick to respond and address.

The stay was bad the bad tub was dirty and I called three times which they stated they would clean three times and which never happened. The place was in communication with me but failed to tell me the location and how to locate. When it came to the check-in, it was a 16 minute walk to just get the keys and the individual at the desk stated they emailed me, but I couldn’t find the reservations when I tried to make an account, but they were able to find my reservations on their computer with the same exact number and name. The place in general is very dirty. The couch was stained and dirty. The remote had no batteries. There was stains on the door and on the walls again the bathtub looks very dirty and they refuse to clean it even though they claim that they were gonna. The person at the front desk was very rude when it asked about how to check out in overall the experience, which is terrible. I would not recommend it’s in a good location, but the place itself is dirty filled with construction trash bags to walk on the stairs,which was not mentioned the building is undergoing a lot of construction. there’s also a lot of construction outside that you can hear inside and people playing music in the apartments that you can hear in the apartment.

First of all they switched us to the Parnell Blvd Apartments so I have no clue if these apartments are good. The floors at the new location, had paint stains and paint dust all over them. There was no signage in the hallways and the elevator had bashed in buttons and the hallways had random doors open showing exposed pipes. The noise level was extremely high and we were shocked they’d move us to such a terrible alternative. On top of all that they forced me to use their app, which not even their staff could get to work. We found other accommodations. I’d give 0 stars if that was an option.

Fantastic location. Shops, restaurants, and the River Liffey within a few minutes walk. Keyless entry to the apartment, using an app, was convenient. The balcony was nice. Having a washer was good. The apartment smelled very fresh when we opened the door, however, the place could use an overall refresh. There were stains on the sofa, in the bathtub and mold on the bathroom ceiling. There was outside music and noise up until 3 am each morning, but given the location, we expected this. Because of the great location, would recommend to others.

Pros- walkable to dining and transit. Spacious-the apartment had good space for our family of 5, clean. The entire center s thing 10-15 mins walking. Lots of nightlife right outside. Cons- this place needs to be renovated. Windows don’t open or some don’t lock, the seals are leaky and don’t dampen outside noise The area is pretty noisy at night. Beds need to be replaced, bathroom lights are corroded and not working, cabinets are in poor condition. Very 90s vibe.

Heating and hot water failed twice. Sofa was awful, very uncomfortable and only seated 2 but accommodation is for 5. This made relaxing difficult. Kitchen amenities were great. Bathroom is worn out. Security great but Upkey didn’t switch easily between locks. Staff were great and responded quite quickly. Parking @fleet street Q park would have been good to know prior $70/5 days

Wonderful stay, great location! The apartment could use some minor cosmetic improvements but overall a great stay and all amenities you could need with a full kitchen! Easy to access especially with the new smart lock process, very flexible with early check in when possible. I would love to stay again in Dublin at this property but would request if possible a unit on the side that overlooks the busy bustling Temple Bar alleyway (Crown Ally rather than Cope Street). Overall a great stay!

We had no hot water for showers. Overall just not a very nice place- shower had exposed wood, floor planks were coming apart etc. Communication was good.

Fantastic location, office staff great. Good kitchen set up with everything we needed. Not the comfiest of beds, the bathroom definitely needed an overhaul - broken tiles and the shower screen leaked which turned the floor into puddles. Would however stay again on a short trip due to location and service. the issues were only minor

Lovely location! We had a good stay, but noticed a few issues around the apartment. The back of the bathroom door was covered in visible mold, and the bathroom rack was a bit rusty. The curtains in the main room came loose a few times and we had to hook them back up. Security was easy and we felt safe and comfortable in the building. We loved how close we were to Temple Bar and to transit!

Very disappointed!! Be careful as management company changes your apartment without notice. Had booked and paid for a totally different apartment on the top floor of same building to accommodate for the size of our family. Had taken screenshot of the place - during booking for my records. We were provided with a totally different unit that was way too small. Had 2 grown adult sons share a twin sleeper sofa. Very difficult to communicate with property management - no texting within Expedia app or WhatsApp - only local phone calls. Different team members don’t communicate with each other. Eventually able to move to another unit, BUT was 10min away with an additional cost of €100. Overall, now recommending this place.

This property felt dirty. The photos are deceiving and don't show the filth in the apartment. The couch was stained so we placed a comforter on it to sit. The tub was stained, tile cracked and dirty. The balcony door was broken and didn't lock. We stayed in apartment 1 and it was not worth the cost.

The apartment is in need of repairs. The balcony door isn't hinged so when we tried to open it, it fell in us. It can be pushed open from the outside and with no way to secure the premises,I felt unsafe. My linen had terrible stains. It was extremely hard to walk up all those stairs with luggage and I did not know I needed to do this. You need to pick up keys at another address,which is challenging. The shower doesn't drain so you need to stop your shower to wait for it to drain, and the Dan doesn't work so the floor gets very slippery and you get one key so that's alot of fun to deal with when you have six in your group.Communication was terrible, several emails sent were never answered. I was expected to take out the trash and pay for garbage bags which is odd. Definitely not hotels com standards and wonder why it's on the site

Fantastic location. Everything you could want was a walkable distance. Room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was a bit run down but not as bad as others have said. We were very pleased with our stay.
