2-Star Hotels in County Dublin, Ireland

1. **Location** There's a place with a similar name around here, so if you just put in the name and follow the map, you might end up at a different hotel. Make sure to input the exact address to find the accommodation. 2. **Luggage Storage Issue for Guests Staying in Different Rooms for Consecutive Nights** I want to share an inconvenient experience I had staying two consecutive nights in different rooms. I initially booked for one night, but my plans changed, and I wanted to extend my stay in the same place. However, I was told I had to book a different room. After my first night, I was told I had to check out at 11 AM and then check into my new room at 3 PM. During that interim, if I wanted to store my luggage, I'd have to pay 8 euros per locker. Since I needed three lockers, and to avoid the locker fees, I was told I wouldn't have to pay if I stayed on the premises. So, I spent that time doing laundry. It's a huge regret that I was tied to the accommodation from 11 AM to 3 PM and missed out on exploring the many museums in Dublin before I left. I don't think I was the only guest who booked one night and then had to book a different room for the next. The luggage storage issue for consecutive night guests seems to need improvement. Perhaps gaining a reputation for better guest care is more beneficial than trying to earn money from luggage storage. The reception desk staff, perhaps due to the size of the accommodation, only cited rules and didn't seem willing to help. 3. **Minor Inconveniences** Given the name 'Chapel Experience Room,' I assumed, like most accommodations without elevators, that it wouldn't be on the second or third floor when I booked. But alas! I had to navigate a maze of complex stairs, going up and down, to find my room. 4. **Good Points** It was great that breakfast was included. The staff preparing breakfast were kind and very diligent, which I appreciated. Although the menu only consisted of bread, cereal, and fruit, it was plentiful, which was nice. Even though it was instant coffee, it was great to be able to have coffee anytime, and milk was also available in the fridge. Having a kitchen area where you can prepare your own food anytime is also a big plus. 5. The restrooms and showers were very clean and well-maintained. 6. Even though there were over 20 beds in one room, perhaps because everyone was considerate of each other, I was able to stay without being disturbed.

I lived in Japan back in 2016, and I spent approximately 6 months living in a Capsule Hotel in Tokyo, so I’m very familiar with the concept and I really like it. However, this was the first time I stayed in one with my partner. We are both tall enough men and I was not sure how comfortable we’d be. However, in the end, we had a fantastic experience. And the value for money is unmatched anywhere in Dublin and the surrounding area. The only issue we had was that the bathrooms were all in the basement, so if you needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you’d have to walk multiple sets of stairs to get to it. And there were also only 3 bathrooms for the entire hostel which was definitely not enough. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be returning.

The location is very convenient, the place is clean, and overall it was a great option for a three-day stay in the city. Unfortunately, one night was very difficult because there were two people in my room who snored very loudly and continuously throughout the entire night. I couldn’t sleep at all and eventually got up at 5 a.m. and went for a walk around the city. As a suggestion, perhaps the management could consider the issue of guests who snore heavily and create a separate room for them, similar to the separate room for women. Guests could indicate this in advance when booking. Alternatively, earplugs could be provided. Apart from this, everything was good, and I would otherwise consider this an ideal place for a short stay in the city.

The hotel is quite nice, especially for couples. Check-in was fully self-service using a machine downstairs, which was really convenient and quick – no waiting in line. The room was clean, and each one has a private bathroom and toilet. What's great is that the toilet and shower are separated, which is very practical.

I so much loved the lodge, it was so very clean, the location was so easy as it is just few minutes walk from the Dublin city center, the most amazing part is that the airport bus 41 stops right in front ot the Abbott Lodge so using google map is also very easy. The service is top notch and the reception is 247. Room so clean and the bed is big even with extra bed for kids.

I really enjoyed my stay. The pub is great in the common area. Amazing price for the pint. The people were also great, they made us feel very welcomed. The only thing to be aware is that some of the rooms have little space between the beds. So it can become a bit claustrophobic if you want to move around a lot. But I only used for sleeping so it didn't bother me.

Probably the best value for money in Dublin, especially for a poor student like me. It’s right in the city center of Dublin, so you basically don’t need to pay for transportation anymore. Sadly, it seems like this building has existed for around 200 years. Maybe some really famous ancient poet even lived here in the past. ：-） So, the facilities are quite old. If you’re a girl, I highly recommend booking a female-only room. DO NOT save money on this.

Overall, it was great, much cleaner than expected, and we couldn't hear any noise from the bars at night. Excellent value for money. The only thing to note is that the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so carrying large suitcases up and down stairs was quite tiring. Our family room faced the street, and with the windows open, you could clearly hear people talking as they passed by, but it was much better with the windows closed. Also, some rooms might have a slight renovation smell, but this seems to be random – of the two standard rooms I saw, one did and one didn't. If it bothers you, you could probably ask the hotel if they can switch your room. There was a minor hiccup: we booked a family room, but were initially assigned two standard rooms. After speaking with the hotel, they switched us back to a family room. The standard rooms were on the third floor and the family room was on the first, so the three of us were exhausted from moving our luggage up and down. P.S. The photos and videos seem to have been taken with a 0.5x wide-angle lens. The video shows a standard room; the family room is much more spacious and doesn't feel as cramped. The bathroom in the pictures belongs to another standard room, but they're all pretty similar and quite clean.

Great experience. The room was clean and smells good when we arrived. They provided the toiletries, utensils, and they have washing machine, tumble dryer, water kettle, and microwave. They have almost what you need. They are very accommodating, and responsive. The location wasn’t too far from all places that we went. We’ll recommend this hotel.

The beds are comfortable. Quite well located, not too far from the center (25 minutes on foot). The Yellow Café next door is excellent for breakfast. The shower for the room isn't actually in the room itself, but it's very close by, quite spacious, and clean.
