Holiday Apartments in County Dublin, Ireland

We booked a hotel for two nights, and the room they gave us was very clean, with a microwave and refrigerator so we could cook. The hotel wasn't far from the city center, and the transportation nearby was very convenient. The only downside was that the air conditioner in the room was constantly making noise, which slightly affected my sleep quality.

Our stay at Staycity Tivoli was disappointing in several respects. Although the apartment itself was spacious, it felt very cold and uncomfortable. Laundry facilities required an extra charge and were difficult to use, which made things inconvenient. The property also held on to our credit, which was not clearly explained. Breakfast was very poor value – almost €17 per person for food that was far below standard. We ended up cooking for ourselves in the apartment instead. Overall, despite the larger room size, the lack of warmth, poor services, and overpriced breakfast meant the stay did not live up to expectations.

The hotel is very close to the train station, which is super convenient for getting around. The front desk lady was very friendly. My English isn't great, so she used a translation app to help me, which was really thoughtful.

I accidentally discovered this hotel and started to worry whether the rooms were too old. In fact, the quality of the hotel rooms is very good and the management of the hotel is also very good. Check-in and check-out are very fast and the staff's service makes people feel warm and comfortable. A pretty nice hotel.

I traveled to Dublin alone and initially wasn't planning on booking such a large place, but for safety and the overall experience, I ended up booking this apartment. It's located in an affluent area of Dublin, where people are genuinely friendly and even cars will yield to you, unlike in the UK where they'd just honk. Here, they'll even smile and wave you through. Public transport, however, is a bit tricky. Buses are hard to come by and you absolutely have to wave them down to stop. So, getting around can be a bit inconvenient. If you have to catch a flight or a ferry, you definitely need to factor in extra time – at least an additional half-hour for waiting for the bus on top of your usual travel time. For instance, I allowed an extra hour for the bus and managed to catch my ferry back to the UK, saving myself €28 on a taxi. Another bonus is that you save money on laundry since the room has washing and drying facilities. Plus, you can cook your own meals, which also saves a considerable amount. There's a supermarket nearby where you can pick up pre-prepared meals to pop in the oven. The staff's attitude was generally good. Being in Ireland, if you just complain about the British, everyone treats you wonderfully. However, the facilities were a disaster. When I checked in, there was no one at the front desk. I had to contact Trip.com to get someone to come out. Then, the main door lock was broken and couldn't be secured at all. I had to contact Trip.com again and go down to find someone. They told me they'd fix it that afternoon, but I explained that with all my belongings in the room, I wouldn't feel comfortable with them fixing it while I wasn't present, and I'd have to stay there. So I told them to just fix it after I checked out. I ended up staying in that room with the faulty lock for three nights. And since I was alone, they didn't even charge a security deposit, just made a copy of my passport for their records, which was actually quite thoughtful.

The apartment is super close to the train station which was really handy for us! We had an early train and the staff made the early check out process super easy.  We were worried about the noise of the train being a problem but the train sounds were very quiet. We were also worried about being above a pub that it would be noisy, again not a problem.  The oven and cooking amenities in the apartment weren’t available for use for our stay. We only had a short stay and so this didn’t bother us, but could see how it would be frustrating for a longer stay if you planned on using them.

This is my first time to visit Ireland and the 1st day we stay in this apt. When I arrived too early and the check in lobby was closed. However, once I WhatsApp to the registration, they right the way give me a big help. Gacr and Matel is so friendly and helpful. They arrange an early check in for us and really appreciate their help in knowing more about the city. Highly recommend this apt to stay. It is clean, right in the city center and you can walk around to the most city scenic and restaurants. Glady

Ho soggiornato in questo appartamento e nel complesso mi sono trovata bene. Anche se piccolo, è molto accessoriato: presenti macchinetta del caffè con cialde per i giorni di permanenza, bollitore, pentole e frigorifero, quindi comodo anche per chi vuole cucinare. L’unica vera pecca è la totale assenza di un armadio o di uno spazio adeguato per sistemare i vestiti. Per qualche motivo molti hotel pensano che vivere con la valigia aperta sul pavimento faccia parte dell’esperienza urbana. La posizione è ottima, centralissima vicino al castello, e permette di raggiungere facilmente anche Temple Bar a piedi la sera. Grazie alla posizione abbiamo visitato comodamente tutta Dublino. Unica nota negativa riguarda la prenotazione tramite  Trip.com: alcuni servizi indicati sul sito non erano realmente disponibili, come la colazione a buffet da 10 €, e inizialmente il numero di prenotazione non risultava nel sistema dell’hotel.

The place is in a great location but the keys to the room are supposed to be picked up in a different location that is quite far from the hotel. The staff is supposed to be multilingual but when we called for help to get the keys we got unlucky and had someone over the phone that struggled with English (in Ireland..). The place is overall very clean but the decorative pillows don’t seem to get washed. It’s ok for a brief stay, not for a long one as there’s not wardrobe. Nowhere to store anything or at least put the luggage. Also, the kitchen has silverware and mugs but nothing to clean them. For this price, I was expecting a little bit more attention to details.

This hotel-style apartment can be said to be an unexpected surprise in the journey. It was originally because the Spring Festival wanted to cook in the room before making a decision to stay in the apartment. It is not the most comfortable stay in Ireland. First of all, the apartment is in a good location, about 3-5 minutes walk to the River Liffey, and there are dense bars and restaurants along the banks of the river for a convenient night view of Dublin. Secondly, the location of the apartment is less than ten minutes walk from the Guinness Exhibition Hall. The pavilion charges a small fee (25€/person, free for children, 22€ for students), but the 360-degree gravity bar on the 7th floor has a good view. Thirdly, the apartment is very comfortable. The living room, toilet and bedroom of the one bedroom apartment are designed separately. The sofa bed in the living room is very convenient and can accommodate three people easily. The two bedroom apartment is very spacious, with separate master bedroom and guest bedroom, laundry room separate. The design is very thoughtful. Suitable for families with children. Fourth, the apartment is fully equipped, the quality of household appliances is very good, and all kinds of kitchen supplies are available. For Chinese people traveling in Europe, whether they can cook for themselves is an important factor affecting the quality of travel. In particular, the ability to buy local vegetables, fruits and meats has greatly improved the quality of travel. Fifth, there is a slight noise, mainly heating hot water and pumping system. The water pressure in Ireland is lower than expected. The second floor and the third floor of each household need to be pressurized, and the sound of pressure is very large. In addition, there are many young people traveling in Europe on weekends, and there will be some noise in the middle of the night.
