Black Castle

Stayed at Cork Street in Dublin and honestly couldn’t believe the value for money. Although it’s usually student accommodation, they absolutely make it feel like a proper hotel experience during stays. The whole place was spotless, modern, and really well maintained. The room was spacious, very clean, and had everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable, the bathroom was immaculate, and the overall standard was much higher than expected for the price. You can tell the staff really care about keeping the property welcoming and professional. Location-wise it’s excellent too, easy access to get ino Dublin city centre, great transport links, and plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants nearby. It felt safe, quiet, and convenient throughout the stay. For anyone visiting Dublin and looking for affordable accommodation without compromising on comfort or cleanliness, I’d highly recommend Cork Street. It’s perfect and I’d definitely stay here again.

The room and bathroom were clean and well appointed and the breakfast was very tasty.

Location was amazing. But, the thermostat beeped 3 times every few minutes for days. The shower was tiny, I kept turning the water off with my elbow while showering. If you took a shower early in the morning to catch a full day tour the water was not hot. Later in the day it was very hot. When I booked I read that the rooms had washers and dryers. When we checked in we found out only 2 had them and it wasnt ours. We did laundry at a laundromat that ended up costing a $100 plus a taxi to and from. The refrigerator scraped the floor everytime we opened it. It wasn't quiet.
