I was disappointed in my room at Staycity. This is an odd hotel--I assume the rooms are…read moreindividually owned and rented out, like a timeshare condo, since some of the photos posted here look NOTHING like our room. If I were a college student looking for a cheap place to stay with a bunch of my friends near Temple Bar, this probably would be a great hotel. But, I'm almost 60 and needed temporary lodging for a month, and this did not suit my needs well. Our room had two small bedrooms (one queen bed and one with two twins), and the cozy main room had two fold-out sofas. The beds were good and the bathroom was nicely updated, but the furniture in the main room was substandard. The two "sofas" were in poor condition (ripped) and started as poorly-constructed dorm-room furniture when new (perhaps a decade ago). They were terribly uncomfortable, with bars that poked through the worn pads. It is clear these were much more intended to be fold-out beds than sofas, and they were so awkward that we were almost unable to use them during our stay. Meanwhile, the large dining room table was missing a pad under one foot, so it would wobble dangerously (which we learned the hard way with a glass of water on the top). I had to adjust the pads to prevent further accidents. There were other minor annoyances. If you need to cool down the unit, it can be quite loud with street noise and a bar across the street. (I learned a few football chants thanks to late-night parties.) The elevator needed some repair, with broken call buttons on a couple of floors. And our room had an odd closet that looked like someone forgot to finish the job of constructing it. The one positive thing here was the staff. The cleaning crew was professional, and most of the desk staff was very helpful, particularly the day crew. (The staff here lifted what would've been a two-star review to three stars.) I cannot understand how some of the rooms could be so nice (according to photos) and others so very, very different. I expect a bit more consistency in a hotel, so I would not be encouraged to stay in another Staycity property.

Just look at the photo. Don't they look fabulous? They are built on the site of what once was a cinema back in the day, but for years was a grotty-looking derelict bowling alley. A lot of the old cinemas became tile showrooms when they closed down (like the one in Terenure and another on Collins' Avenue, to name two). I like the way that they kept the look of a cinema to these buildings; a new building on the same site that looks like a cinema is the next best thing. Developments like The Strand, and the nearby Crosbies Yard, were built a couple of years ago in an attempt at gentrification of the distinctly rough North Strand/East Wall area, very close to town and the then uber-trendy docklands. This probably seemed like a great idea at the time, but then the property market bombed, and no-one has rented the retail space of The Strand and I imagine that there are plenty of vacant units, too. This is a pity, as it is a pure architectural gem.

This place was excellent and was expertly prepped to meet our needs including having the sofa bed prepared before arrival. The unit was clean, had a great view of downtown including the Liffey River from the fifth floor. It included a full kitchen, mini-fridge/freezer combo, oven and microwave as well as tea, coffee, etc. Three minor knocks I have is that the hot water didn't seem to last, although it does say that it is generally available for 30-40 minutes at a time. For a group of five, it just meant a little better planning/shorter individual showers. Secondly, checking in after hours was a little difficult, but resolved quickly and we picked up our keys and paperwork at another hotel in town. The actual office for the apartment complex was hidden down a side road and troublesome to find. Perhaps it was more difficult with the lack of service since we were not from Ireland. Lastly and the reason for the loss of star was that there was no parking. While I realize it is a city, I believe the company should provide a stipend or some sort of parking discount at the nearest garage. The good part was that there was a garage within a five minute walk. The bad part, we paid $50 for less than two days of parking.

If you are unfamiliar with downtown Dublin, the office location is difficult to locate. I would not advise renting this unit unless you plan to bring full sized shampoo/conditioner/soap/laundry detergent and anything else you might expect a rental to have. I strongly suggest you also bring your own sheets and blanket for the bed as those provided are not adequate. The small kitchen was great, however, if you turn on more than one appliance at a time the circuit blows. And the toaster doesn't work. Rough to find out after eggs are made! The staff at the office were not friendly and did not provide any instruction on how to manage the apartment amenities. They did allow us to park in their garage for €10 per night, but on the third day we arrived at our car with notes posted with tape stating we must move or face a clamp on the vehicle. We were parked in the numbered spot given to us by the office staff.

The apartments are decorated so nicely and have classic interiors with modern conveniences. Each unit has a fireplace and a balcony. The unit I viewed had two bedrooms and three bathrooms! And, the kitchen was just gorgeous. Also, the balcony was quite spacious allowing room for a small gathering and grilling! The grounds are maintained beautifully and there is a nice small lobby entrance that is secure. This is a gorgeous location for short- or long-term housing. I highly recommend it! If 'home is where the heart is', this may hit the spot!

We collected our keys from their reception office located at 5 Crow Street - everyone staying needed to present photographic ID. Then walked a short distance, of approximately 5 minutes, to the apartment accompanied by 2 staff members.

Bad points: *Apartment located up 3 large flights of stairs & unfortunately there was no lift (difficult when you have luggage). *Loud, irritating noise all night in one bedroom, sounded like a loud boiler constantly working next door (though other 2 bedrooms were fine). *Couldn't open doors leading to balcony.

The building is NOT there not even down the block!! It was a 10, 15min walk (its Dublin so obviously was raining) and we arrived soaked to this mysterious building. Oh, and NO ELEVATORS either, it was a 4th floor walkup. Now, seriously? BTW, its non refundable that's how they get you! We complained about location fake advertising and their answer?

We used it as a home base in Dublin and traveled throughout Ireland, day trips by train. It was tricky to find since no cars are allowed on the cobbled roads but the location is perfect! Close to stores (Tesco), Jervis Shopping Center, loads of restaurants and bars and a wonderful cafe is actually in the storefront of the building. Temple Bar and Ha'Penny Bridge are both short walks away. The DART (Dublin electric train) is literally at the end of the street and stops every 15 minutes. You're truly in the heart of Dublin and don't need a car. The location is perfection!! We rented a large 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment, which was very nice. It had a washer/dryer combo which was great so we didn't have to over pack. This location has no staff on site, it's a self stay but we didn't need anything and you can reach someone by phone if needed. The apartment was very clean, in safe location and close to everything. The extra space was great, everyone had there own room. The only draw back is on the weekends it can get loud late at night. You have lots of loud people making their way back from the bars late at night but it normally doesn't last long. I would totally recommend StayCity - they have several different locations in Dublin, as well as other cities in Europe!!
