Dublin Southside Cheap Vacations

Cheap and cheerful- you get what you pay for but ver

Our room was great! Although its a little outside the city centre, it is most definitely worth it as its just a 30 min bus ride our so away. I enjoyed our room, it was large and comfortable especially for the price. Our room was a non-smoking room, but did smell like smoke a bit, but it was ok. Overall a nice stay and would come again!

Overall the hotel was good value for money. Staff were v friendly and helpful. Very clean and tidy. The hotel food was good if a little on the pricey side (but Dublin is on the pricey side). Our only issue was our double room (Room 141) had the wierdest layout. The bed was in an alcove with one side of the bed right against the wall meaning that if you needed to get up in the night you had to climb over the person next to you. We put up with it as we were only there for 3 nights but I imagine some people would physically not be able to manage this. The main takeaway from booking this hotel is that it takes approximately 30 minutes to walk to 'Temple Bar' so use the local buses. The bus stop is just around the corner and it only costs €2. Similarly, use the public bus to get to and from the airport. We used the #16 going home and it only cost €2.50 each. Again, the bus stop is just around the corner from the hotel. If you prefer to take a taxi, be prepared, ours cost €25 to get to the hotel. I wish we had known about the bus beforehand!!

Blanchardstown is a little out of the way from both Dublin city and the airport but it's a quiet place to get some rest after a long journey and to get ready for another

Room very clean and all staff were great
