Abbott Lodge 87/88 Gardiner Street Lower, County Dublin D01 EY88

"What an absolute disgrace. The photos of the rooms on booking.com etc are not accurate at all. I slept in my clothes the place was that bad. I couldn’t get a proper photograph of the room as there wasn’t enough space. Broken plug points, filthy stained carpets, wiring sticking out the wall, no space to put our one suitcase anywhere except the bed. Said bed was pushed up against a window - which had a view of a pile of scrap steel. We paid 100€ for the nightmare. Couldn’t wait to get out at 5am the next morning. Do yourself a favor - don’t, just don’t!"

"The people at the register were very welcoming and understanding to our room problems and offered us to switch rooms. Indeed, the room wasn’t clean especially the bathroom, it had hairs in the shower, there was mold on the ceiling and the window, dust everywhere, the floor was sticky and dirty, bed sheets weren’t changed. When we changed rooms, it was slightly better but still had dust and mold on the walls. We could hear the neighbours very clearly which disturbed our sleep. We won’t come back."

"I had a great time in this hotel. I paid a little for what I get. Very clean room provided with hot shower and coffee tea. Very lovely and helpful staff. If I visit Dublin again, I am surely gonna reserve in the same hotel."

"The reviews are scary, but it actually was a lot better than I thought. I am giving it 4 stars because of the very cheap price (65 a night) but anymore would have been unacceptable. When I was there they were doing some work on the place so I think they are trying to improve it. No bugs and clean sheets. Don’t stay here if you are coming from afar and want a nice stay in Dublin. But if you just need a place to crash for a night or two, then it is fine."
