Barran Holidays

Excellent, new build property. Modern, fresh and clean. The rooms were excellent - the showers were so lovely you didn’t want to get out!! Breakfast in the morning had plenty of choice to set you up for the day - and the hotel is so conveniently located for places such as Guinness Storehouse, Dublinia and Temple Bar to name but a few! Special shoutout to Cristina and Gabi on reception who kept in contact with us before we arrived - as our flight had a 2.5h delay and we didn’t arrive until gone 1am. They were so organised and prepared for this - put our minds at rest and had us checked in very speedily so we could get some sleep. All in all would definitely recommend. It’s a must stay hotel!

bar was excellent. the tea amazing. the restaurant was not quite up to snuff- my chicken was dry. The rooms very well appointed and the staff very helpful with advice on local events.

Fantastic location. Shops, restaurants, and the River Liffey within a few minutes walk. Keyless entry to the apartment, using an app, was convenient. The balcony was nice. Having a washer was good. The apartment smelled very fresh when we opened the door, however, the place could use an overall refresh. There were stains on the sofa, in the bathtub and mold on the bathroom ceiling. There was outside music and noise up until 3 am each morning, but given the location, we expected this. Because of the great location, would recommend to others.

We chose this apartment for its proximity to Temple Bar. We were a family of four staying here for a few nights. Pros: Great location and very walkable to many restaurants and bars. There's a separate living room and bedroom. Looks out over the river. The rental company was pretty responsive and our room was ready early when we arrived. Has a washer/dryer combo. Cons: It was noisy at night and kept up the two people sleeping in the living room on the foldout couch. There's no AC. We didn't realize this when booking it. It wasn't too hot when we stayed but it's definitely a consideration if it's the height of summer. The washer and dryer didn't dry our clothes. We watched the demo video the rental company had on the app but the washer we had didn't match the one in the video and the controls didn't make sense. While there was plenty of room, there wasn't much space to sit down other than on the foldout couch and bed. We weren't in the room a lot, though, so it was fine.
