Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Centre

The garden was a lovely place to sit with a drink, and we met some nice Americans there. Reception staff were kind, and the rooms were really clean, no complaints. Slatterys pub is just around the corner, a great old spot for food and a drink. Head down Capel street and over the bridge to reach temple bar, and Oconnell st isn't far either. A really nice place to visit Dublin. Thanks for a great stay, I'll come back one day.

The calm, relaxing atmosphere made it easy to enjoy my time here. My room was modern, clean, and really comfortable, with a soft bed that helped me sleep well. The staff were welcoming and polite, always ready to help. I had a fantastic stay and would definitely return.

The studio worked well for us, with twin beds, a table, and a little kitchenette. The bathroom was small but spotless. Since it’s set up for longer stays, there’s no daily housekeeping, which suited me. I went to the lobby for fresh towels and coffee supplies. One thing to plan for: the room’s small bins can fill up after a couple of days, so you’ll need somewhere to empty them. We arrived very early after taking the ferry. The staff welcomed us and offered to hold our bags while we went to find breakfast, since the hotel’s breakfast wasn’t open yet. We paid a small fee for a 10 a.m. early check-in, which was worth it when we were exhausted and wanted a shower and a nap. The location was handy for walking to the riverfront, Temple Bar, and plenty of shops and pubs. There’s a streetcar a couple of blocks away, though we didn’t use it. The hotel has a bar by reception and a pleasant courtyard out back. Breakfast looked plentiful, and I think it was about 15 euros per person, but we didn’t try it.

We spent our evenings in the laundry area with a beer, Jenga, or chess, hanging out like we were in a living room. The staff were friendly enough, and we got a good discounted rate. The hotel is right in the city centre, so we didn’t need public transport. The Dublin Express airport shuttle stop at Wellington quay is only a few metres away, across the river. There were people drinking beer and smoking MJ nearby, but we had no trouble, even with our child. Our studio was small, though it had plenty of useful things: a microwave, capsule coffee machine, fridge, and cutlery. The bathroom was cleverly arranged so shower water didn’t end up splashing everywhere, and the hot water was always available. Breakfast could get crowded when lots of people came down at once. The eggs, sausages, beans, and coffee were great, with the coffee especially rich and aromatic. The ham and bacon tasted a bit too salty and mature, and the fruit was bland and plasticky for the time of year.
