Grafton Street Studios

"I’d give it 5 stars if not for the noise. They say it’s soundproof but I heard people next door and music at night. So the quality of sleep was not ideal. Otherwise, it’s a neat little studio, very well decorated, in mint condition. Nice bathroom, well thought through kitchen unit, comfy bed and even little extras like water and coke in the fridge. Really well done. Cooker, fridge, oven, the kettle that boiled in seconds - very comfy. The room is tiny, but if you’re on your own, perfectly comfortable. The location is very central and good for everything. Another shortcoming is check out at 10:30. It’s really too early even by modern standards."

"Staying here was a great decision. The studio's location is perfect, right in the center of Dublin. The studios are a bit small, but we didn't spend much time here except for sleeping so it was fine. The beds were comfortable, the shower was fantastic and we had everything we needed for our stay (a hair drier, there was a coffee machine and coffee and an electric kettle for tea). You get into the studios using an app on your phone (something we've never seen before) but it worked fine. The guy at the reception desk was very helpful."

"We wanted to experience Dublin without all of the tourists traps. This was a great central location where we could walk around and get away from our fellow tourists and carve out a unique experience for us. The rooms are small, but so is the price. If you are expecting a 5-star experience, this isn't it. But they are cool little rooms, great beds, an incredible value."

"Grafton street studios represent one of the mostly central points in Dublin and is "close to everything". The studios are nice but a little bit too small (4/5 sq.m. more would have made them perfect). There is not much room for luggages, but the bed is comfortable and the room is clean. The kitchen is complete but the lack of space makes difficult its use. The bathroom is a little bit noisy due to the air fan. If you consider it just a hotel room it's good, also because of its position and for a good compromise between quality and price. Pay attention to the confirmation mail: check-in is far away from the studios. If you arrive at studios, call the reception so that they bring you keys. Generally a good experience even if, with some slight changes, it might be the perfect location to visit Dublin"

"Great location, rooms well stocked. If you don't want to have to make 2 stops (one for the key across town and then here), just contact the office to make arrangements to pick up the key from the lockbox at the door of the studios. We were late arriving in town and the staff were most helpful! Loved the shower - powerful & roomy. Bed was comfortable. Nice sized TV. Only complaint is that I wish they had left detailed instructions on how to use the washer/dryer combo for us Americans who aren't used to it. I even tried looking online for the make & model instructions, but those were confusing and seemed to assume you were used to using this type of machine. The symbols were not the easiest to decipher. Managed to wash my jeans, but thought they were going to burn when it kept drying for 3 hours. Took many tries to get it to turn off and cancel the burnt-toast cycle it appeared to be stuck on. Otherwise, great stay! (Stayed in early Sept., and was thankful for the air conditioner!!)"
