  Good serviced apartment in suburbs

  16 May 2024

  We chose this apartment in Sandyford as our friends were living nearby and hence it made meeting up easier. However in general the location is quite good, 25 min to downtown Dublin, nearby supermarkets and restaurants, overall nice area.We had a 2 bedroom apartment which is quite spacious and has everything one needs. The parking in the garage is very convenient as well.Would stay there again

  Supurb- seamless - relaxing

  14 Jun 2023

  Stayed here in June while up on Dublin on a course. Checked in outside of reception hours and their out of hours checkin was seamless. It was such a relaxing stay with on site parking and clean and spacious apartments. Beds were extremely comfortable and the apartments were spotless clean and fully kitted out including tea/coffee, kitchen ware (inc dishwasher and tablets). Great hot water and pressure. Would recommend here for any traveling for work or pleasure. Luas stop right next door and so easy to get onto and off local road networks. It will be worth it !!

  Good but the key-cards didn't work

  10 Oct 2020

  My colleague and I stayed here for 4 weeks on a business trip including a period of Covid quarantine so being confined to the apartment for 14 days has coloured my opinion. Small things that you could ignore for one night or so can become very annoying.I can't fault the management or the cleaning staff. They were very helpful and attentive and the housekeeping was very good but the developer and architect didn't win my praise. Sandyford was convenient for us but the area is a warren of charmless new developments, several of which have stalled and are left unfinished. There are some restaurants and coffee shops nearby and a Dunnes and Aldi within walking distance and the Luas tram at the foot of the road is a boon for getting to places with a bit more to offer. There is a also a weekly food truck market across the street. The beds are comfortable and the mattresses were clean but I agree with other posters that they are too high to sit on to tie your shoes. We found several lamps didn't have working bulbs but these were quickly replaced once the management were notified. The presence of three restaurants on the ground level of means that the smell from their fryers wafts up when you are on your balcony. I could not identify the source but every few hours, day and night, there is a loud clattering that sounds like a bottle-bank being emptied. Our balcony had no view except of a car park hemmed in on four sides by tall buildings. The apartments have plenty of windows and light but that only affords your neighbours in the office buildings across the breezeway a clear view of your bedroom and living room and you a view of their desks, unless you keep the curtains closed. There was obviously a common area with benches and a play equipment built for the development but the access to this is now prevented by a padlocked gate. Protruding glass box windows might be attractive from the outside and provide space and light into the bedrooms but when it rains (as it does in Dublin) the rain drumming on the roof glass is loud enough to disturb your sleep. A very particular complaint was the useless key-card entry system which constantly failed and locked us out. The management are well aware of this as they told us to keep our key-cards away from any electronic device (hardly practical for keeping in your purse or pocket) as this might wipe the magnetic stripe. In five weeks we were locked out (with both cards failing) four times which is very annoying when coming home late and the reception has closed. The management sent over new cards in a taxi which took 30 minutes. The car parking spaces underground are a bit tight. The code to the building and garage (but not your apartment) changes weekly so you have to make a note of it when the slip is passed under your door telling you the new code. The trash collection area is disgusting, there are lots of bins but evidently these are not enough or they're not emptied often enough. Remember to keep a free hand when carrying items as all the doors have a 'press to exit' button which may not be obvious. The one in the garage in Core 1 is behind the door and gets bashed by the handle of the door as it opens. Did the installer not realise this would happen? That may be a minor point but the devil is in the details. Our apartment was well appointed but the tv only had 3 channels (though people have said they had Netflix etc.) and the reception was poor and grainy. The kitchen had basic the utensils but the knives were completely blunt and were poor quality do did not improve much with sharpening. Salt and pepper shakers were provided but they had no seals so obviously nobody checks on these things. I feel they could be a bit more generous with non-perishable basics like salt and washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets and bin-bags.

  We enjoyed our stay here very much !!

  25 Oct 2019

  We hired two bedroom appartment in very new building. Easy and quick check in and out. The appartment has well equipped kitchen, nice living room with French window across one wall and two smaller but sufficient bedrooms with comfortable beds. Everything was new, it did no way resemble an apartment that has been shared by many different guests. No cleaning provided during the entire stay. We felt here as being at home. There is a tram stop just few min. walk which takes you to the city centre. It works very well during the whole day. A supermarket just 10 min walk but only very few restaurants around.
