Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin Castle
No breakfast unless you make it yourself in your kitchen in your room, beds were great. Bathroom very small but clean. Laundry available is used by staff as well so hard to get at.

It's just a student accommodation thats been opened up for use during the summer. It's a nice area. Felt very safe and has some food and shopping nearby. Probably a 20 minute walk from the station and city centre. The accompdation was nice, modern and comfortable. Not as good as a traditional hotel ...
