Destiny Student - the Tannery

Not good

Budget choice accommodation, well positioned for tourist attractions. If any downsides I would say the paint work in the rooms could be improved, lots of scuffs. The step to get in and out the shower is high and the opening to the shower is narrow.

Hotel's staff was too noisy in the middle of the night. We hear everything. The room was very warm. The bed springs hurt your back.

It was a very convenient location. Room was very simple. A little noisy at nights. Recommend using the earplugs offered. Also recommend the rental of the fan. On warmer nights need the air circulation. But the area is safe and very central. 10 minute walk into the heart of Dublin.

Pretty disappointed with this. From the pictures it looks pretty nice, but you make the mistake of expecting basic amenities. For the amount they’re charging a night. You’d expect to at least have hand soap and towels, right? Wrong. They give you some body wash you can get from reception, but you have to pay to use their towels, and it just lacked a lot of basics. The hotel itself is fairly well located, about 15 minute walk from the city centre, but it’s right next to some bars, and the courtyard acts as an echo chamber, whereby you can hear every last clink of a bottle, conversation, sirens, laughing and cheering, everything. So this hinders your sleep. The worst hinderance of sleep though, alongside the terrible bed with a million raw springs protruding into your spine, is the heat. It was unnecessarily hot in the rooms, hallways and lift, despite it not even being a hot day. This leaves you to needing the window open, which creates more noise as stated above, and more uncomfort. Definitely do not recommend.

At first Destiny Student calls the accommodation a hotel but prior to arrival they sent an email that says ‘it is not a hotel’. When we arrived the room was clean aside from some mold in the shower. Unfortunately the shared kitchen was very dirty (floor, table, couch) and there was only one pan and no dish clothes available for 5 bedrooms. When we complained at the reception that we would like to cook but that the kitchen was very dirty they wrote something down and didn’t fix the problem. When we complained again later that day with a different staff member, we got two extra pans and the kitchen got cleaned. The staff members were friendly at first but didn’t apologize or anything after we complained, they only said they’ll do their best to keep it clean, but the kitchen wasn’t cleaned in days. The bedlinnen were clean but I wouldn’t call a 120cm bed a double but just a large single. When you pay around 100 euros per night you would expect the staff to be friendly and help you wherever they can. I’m not staying here again.
