    The room was tiny and it was difficult to move comfortably with two suitcases. Also, there wasn't a proper wardrobe, so we had to keep our clothes and stuff in our suitcases, which wasn't super great as we spent 4 nights there. Therefore, I would strongly suggest considering rearranging the furniture so as to include some sort of storing space!

    The staff were very friendly when we arrived! I loved having two big windows in the room, and also, the walk-in shower was a big plus!

    Being in the centre means traffic noise, but close the windows and we had a good night's sleep.

    Very friendly and helpful booking in , and a great location to see all the sights of Dublin. Close to good cafés and tram station.

    The floor felt a bit sticky, so not comfortable to walk on with bare feet. The room was quite hot, but our window were facing the sun in the afternoon, so not a lot can be done about that and there was a fan and an air conditioning unit in the room.

    The staff and team at McGettigan's were really friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Our room was very comfortable and a good size. The shower was fantastic with plenty of room. A great location to be in.

    The mattress was too big for the frame of the bed so it was up over the bed on one side. I was in the room with the picture of Brendan Bean and the toilet seat cover kept popping off the toilet.

    Location was absolutely amazing. The staff were fantastic. The food was incredible and good value. Rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean I would definitely stay here again. It was a brilliant location the Louis KS right outside the property & It's close to every thing the city has to offer

    What a fabulous find. In a beautiful quiet location within walking distance of the shops and pubs. Paul greeted us on arrival and was so welcoming . Showed us around and to our room. Which was fabulous with an ample double bed and a fan to keep us cool.

    Room did get warm in July so thankful there was an upright fan to put in the window. Breakfast would have been nice at this price point.

    Beautifully decorated. Easy enough to get to main attractions of Dublin. Airport bus close by so my 4am transfer wasn't a problem. Needed my toilet fixed while I was there and Paul was wonderfully responsive.

    The bathroom could use some updates.

    We liked this place because it was a 15 to 20 minute walk everywhere. And a very short ride on the tram if you want to avoid part of the walk. it was still far from the crowds of downtown. Paul was amazing, good communication before we arrived, he explained to us where to drop the suitcase until check in time and gave us a very warm welcome. The room had coffee, Tea and a mini fridge that helped us to store some snacks. It's on top of a Bar so you can get a drink or eat there if you are tired from the day and don't want to go to Temper Bar. We never got noise from the bar or the one in front, they closed early by the time we went to sleep. There is a parking garage close by, very convenient or free street parking until 7am.
