Grafton Street Studios

I thought the room was clean, and though small was comfortable. But I could easily hear the people talking in the next room, in fact could hear their conversations. And the liquid soap dispenser in the shower was 100% empty. So it was a mixed bag here. Staff seemed friendly and helpful.

Excellent location. Very quiet. Really appreciated the kitchen and refrigerator.

The space was small but well appointed with a few free drinks and snacks. The bed was comfortable and even though it's in a busy area the windows kept things quiet. The front desk was helpful and we were able to get extra towels and cleanings. Location is hard to beat.

Very clean, excellent front desk staff

Excellent location to explore Dublin and very close to restaurants, bars, shopping and most attractions. The hotel had no staff on location between 6:00 pm and 10:00 am. This was an issue the night our key fob did not work!!

Enjoyed being within walking distance to historical sites and pubs/restaurants. It was a little difficult to find entrance.

Check-in was a bit dicey as the young girl at the desk was somewhat inattentive at her job. The elevator was broken for our entire stay. We were n the top floor. Housekeeping is patchy at best. The best part of this property was the price at a very central location.

A great location tucked away just off Grafton St. Very quiet. Helpful staff. I would recommend this to friends & stay here again.

First of all, the place is super hard to find. It's not on Grafton St. as advertised and the sign on the building is NOT Grafton Studios. I paid for a room with a KING SIZE bed and a twin bed. We got a QUEEN and a twin (NO bed sheets or comforter) When I asked for the KING bed, I was told that in Ireland, it is custom for a king bed to actually be the size of a queen size. From our experience around the country, that is NOT TRUE. At five o’clock, when I asked for bed sheets and a comforter for the uncomfortable 4" twin bed, I was told that they would send housecleaning up. Never happened. I wrote an e-mail around 10:30 to complain about it to 2 different adresses. I never got a response. However, at 12:30, someone woke us up by knocking at the door and left ONE bed sheet on the door handle! NO comforter. IT WAS PAST MIDNIGHT!!! Scared the hell out of me. As for the AC, it's impossible to adjust. It's really cold and loud as hell. When we managed to change the temperature, it's started making this loud metallic rattling sound that would go on and of! But, when you turn off the AC off, the room fills with a foul smell of sewage. Except for the mildew in the bathroom, the room is clean. The bed is okay, but there's only one bed sheet and a very warm comforter. No place to store you clothes or luggages other than on the floor. The room feels cramped. You barely hear the parties on the street, but the stomping for the apartment above is so disturbing

Air conditioning, and very well appointed rooms. The booking was for grafton street studios, and the name on the door doesn’t say that… but we figured it out!

Great location, nice property.

Elevator was broken for 2 nights of our stay. Had to bring luggage up to 3rd floor. We’ve stayed here before and would stay again based on the location.

Location is a good as it gets. Everything on your doorstop. Reception staff really friendly and very helpful

Fabulous. Quiet, clean, excellent location. Highly recommend.

Property was nice, area was clean and had good access to sights, shopping, and transportation.

The rooms were perfect, with everything you could need!

Very poor check in services.

Great location

Handy to everything we needed

Awesome spot. Not huge but great for two people.

Everything about this property was great! The location is perfect, rooms are clean & quiet. Entry is easy.

Everything is close by. Easy to walk from place to place.

My stay at Grafton Street Studios was OK. It is a fantastic location and the apartment was pretty close to what I was expecting. I was in an accessible apartment but I am not disabled so I had a huge bathroom with the tiniest sink I have ever found in a hotel. There was no where to store my stuff. No cupboards in the bathroom or wardrobe in the main apartment. There was no safe in the room either so I was a little worried about security for my laptop while I was out. There was also no comfortable chair to sit in while watching TV or having a coffee. On the plus side, the place was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The fully equipped kitchen would have been really useful had I needed it. The elevator in the building is very small which means I used the stairs a lot but if you had disabilities I imagine it would be a long wait to get up and down the building and if anyone has any luggage in the lift then there is very little room for anything else.

Convenient, comfortable location in the heart of Dublin.

We really enjoyed the location of this property. It was within walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit.

Great place right in the middle of everything, easy to walk around, check in was great we were early and our driver was able to help us stow away our bags so we could wander around.

Great location, lovely well equipped and clean apartment.

Great apartment - needs better soundproofing. Music and street noise until all hours of the night. Lovely place if you are a sound sleeper

The property is in the heart of busy Grafton Street and close to many of Dublin’s attractions. The double-glazed windows minimised any outside noise and we slept well in the comfortable bed. The cooking facilities were uniquely very compact but easy to access and use. Highly recommended for somewhere central in Dublin City.

Compact w many amenities in studio apartment which is smaller than pictures indicate. Very walkable location.

Property was centrally located to everything you could want or need while visiting Dublin! Great pubs and restaurants all within walking distance. Nice place right across the street. Held our luggage so we didn’t need to worry about it until we were able to check in. I would stay here again!

Great location, clean, modern style and fair pricing. The only issue I had was the side of the bed and that we wanted two beds not one.

Nice place but wouldn’t go back. Better options at the same price.

Found it to be a bit too loud. Between the partying on the streets and some rowdy hotel guests it was a bit loud at night. Also, found the homeless person sleeping in the stairwell to be a bit off putting. The room itself was clean and nice, though smaller than expected and I was expecting a small room.

Easy. Safe. Clean. Family friendly.

Perfect for a stay that includes both business and pleasure. Well situated and super comfy bed

I loved that this location was so centralized. It was very easy to get to everything I wanted—almost always within a 10 minute walk. I ended up extending my stay and they were very helpful in accommodating me. I would highly recommend Grafton Street Studios.

Fantastic stay, and the receptionist was excellent and accommodating .. the apartment was lovely and clean with everything you needed.. highly recommend and would definitely use again .

I like how centralized this property was—I was able to get almost everywhere I wanted to go within a 10 minute walk. Very lively area and lots to do. I actually extended my stay and they were very helpful in accommodating me. I’d absolutely recommend staying here.

The washer dryer didn’t have clear instructions, it took trial and error to use

The staff was amazing, reception were friendly very helpful and the area has everything nearby. Lots to do and see within walking distance

Excellent stay in Dublin at Grafton Street Studios. Washer/dryer was great feature in our room, but needed clearer instructions and no laundry powder is provided. Great kitchenette, very comfortable. Amongst all the night life, but great soundproofing. Overall, excellent, very recommended.

We had a great stay at this property. AC worked well. There is a lift. The area is fantastic for just about everything because it's on Grafton Street, a pretty swanky part of Dublin, with lots of bars, restaurants, fast food, grocery stores and other shopping. It's only about an 8 or 9 minute walk to the Temple Bar Pub. The other great thing about this property is the in-suite washer/dryer. It also has a full kitchenette with everything you'd need for cooking your own meals. It's an engineering marvel to see what can be done with a relatively small space.

This was the perfect spot! The apartment was fantastic and right on Grafton street. Parking in the 24 hour lot is pricy, 45 euros per day but i suppose it's the price you pay to be in the city center.

Great location; clean as can be; perfect for two, related or not! (king bed and murphy bed single - both very comfortable. Tough to find entrance as it is not on Grafton Street - instead find Bruxelles Bar as it is directly across from there on Harry Street. Since it is a pedestrian way, your best bet is to get to the Westbury Hotel as it is diagonally across the street.

Very nice studio and so close to everything.

Right in the centre of it all. Just note, its called CityBreak Apartments and the entrance is on HARRY ST. next to McDaids pub. Walkable to the majority of Dublins tourist attractions, tons of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and stores. Parking was about a block away, at €30/day. Room was clean, fully equipped, and had an optional Murphy bed tucked in. Windows were basically triple paned so only the live music from across the street on Saturday night could be heard. Basic traffic noise you couldn't hear. Would be great for an extended stay. M&S not far away along with pharmacies for needs. Although there was heavy pedestrian traffic, the streets were kept clean, were safe with walking and bicycling Garda patrolling. Taxi access was limited esp on an active Saturday night. Would stay again other than difficulty finding the access

Location is wonderful. Room was perfect for our needs. The bathroom (especially shower) looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned. Beyond that, it was a great place to stay and we’d stay again!

A little gem right off buzzy vibrant Grafton Street, easy walking to everything including Trinity College. Lovely lobby , very helpful friendly staff and excellent communication. The room is compact but perfectly designed to fit everything in such as toaster, oven, fridge, stovetop. Nice big windows, I would return for sure.

My new favorite place to stay in Dublin! It’s in the perfect location, centrally located. The rooms were gorgeous, clean and had all the amenities you could possibly need. We arrived earlier than our check in time and were able to leave our luggage in a separate room with the hotel staff. Then was called as soon as our room was ready. Great service!

Amazing location. The best area to stay in the city. Would definitely stay there again.

The room had all the amenities a traveller would need. Fantastic location in a vibrant area but the room was completely sound proofed, a big bonus.

A lovely place to stay if you want to be in a walkable neighbourhood with lots of shopping and dining options nearby, and a chance to save some money by cooking some of your own meals. We stayed here for three days in Dublin with two adults and one teenager using the trundle bed and it was perfect for us. My only complaint was the awkward layout of the bathroom through two fire doors across the entryway, but that is likely something mandated by local fire code. Staff was friendly and helpful, accommodations were clean and well-equipped, including a washer-dryer so we could continue on our travels with all clean clothes.

well maintained

A great place to stay!

In the heart of everything; we were only there for one night and the unit was in a very loud location; we actually had a live band right outside our window - luckily the windows were sound proof. Great for a couple of nights. Nice and Clean; not great for a family- probably best suited to a night out on the town kind of place.

This is an excellent location for anyone visiting Dublin! The property was very clean and easy to find. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great stay!

Located in a lovely, vibrant neighborhood close to Trinity College, shops, restaurants, St. Stephen's Green and more. Though our room looked out over a busy pub the windows blocked the sound perfectly. And the A/C actually worked—first hotel we stayed in on this trip for which this was true. The combo washer/dryer in the room was great but the instructions for use could have been clearer—so many icons and not all were explained by the copies of the manual in the provided binder. The electrical outlets took us a bit of finding because they are integrated, flush in very shiny black plates attached to the walls. The buttons were ok because they stick out but the light has to hit the plate just right to see that there are holes for the prongs of the electical plugs. Otherwise 5 out of 5.

Perfect location!

The location was in the heart of a popular part of Dublin.

We loved our stay at Grafton studio's. There was a mix up in our room assignment but Silvia at the reception desk was very nice and switched to the City view room we had paid for. When reserving, I would ensure you are requesting the City view room well in advance since they only have 2 that truly have the corner room view. Otherwise the room with the pullout bed was very comfortable and it was great to people watch just below our room. Also note that Grafton is a busy street even though it is just for pedestrians, there is a lot of activity so if you are not a sound sleeper you may want to consider another street nearby. Also, as in many cities, this street does help the homeless stay the night which was fine for us but may be something to consider. We loved stepping out every morning and going to nearby restaurants and awesome cafes/take out ( Xian is 2 min walk and Tang is 5 min walk) along with St. Stephen Green park on one side and Trinity college on the other along with their famous Gaiety Theater just around the corner.

There is NO parking in Dublin!! The check in process was extremely confusing as they aren’t on property and they “sent me something” a couple of days prior to fill out. That was not the easiest way to check in as we had sketchy internet throughout Ireland. Once we were in, our stay was comfortable, but no access to a human person except during the weekday morning and afternoon. We know not to rent a car next time!! :)

Front desk’s limited hours created some problems for us.

Great location, very comfortable. Check in was very pleasant and easy!

Very nice property with modern rooms and appliances. Very minimalist clever design for storage usage. The property is in the heart of the Grafton area so it’s close to just about everything. There is a lot of traffic until later in the evening and people on staff were very helpful. THE STUDIOS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND. But if you find the Bruxelles pub, and stand next to the Phil Lynott statue, turn around and look directly across the street it is right next to McDaid’s pub on the left hand side is a door into the studios. Of course the door does not Say Grafton St., Studios, it took us half an hour to figure out how to get in the door and which door it was. We finally called and they told us to look for the door that says “CITYBREAK APARTMENTS “. That’s the entry. Do not be concerned that this is such a high traffic and noisy area. The studios have air-conditioning and double pane windows that shut out virtually all the sound. This was very nice.

An excellent place to stay for a beautiful little apartment right in the heart of busting Dublin! There’s a late night pub across the street, but windows are double glass and block most of it. With a quiet sound machine our toddler slept perfect. Great spot to really get all Dublin has to offer in style!

Fabulous tourist location for modest cost. Compact but well appointed modern room (e.g kitchenette & washer/dryer). Note: while address is on Grafton, entrance is on cross street & signaged "Citybreak". Nearest cab access is 1/2 block father on cross street (Harry/Anne) by Westbury Hotel. (Useful to know if take cab from airport). Highly recommend

This was an excellent last minute booking I made for x3 people. Great location

Everything was great. It was difficult to find the property on the first day since the reservation has the title of the property to be “Grafton Street Studio Apartments”, however the actual name of the property is “CityBreak Grafton House” which was confusing on arrival. No other issues though!! Highly recommend

Great location - easily accessible to everything

Love that it was in the city center. We were able to walk everywhere.

everything we wanted to see, and experience was right out the front door. from excellent food, coffee, shopping, touring! we had a room with a tiny kitchen, and the bathroom shower was amazing. the friendly staff, and, an elevator. thankyou grafton. we definitely recommend staying with grafton.

Convenient location, room was very nice with a full kitchen. I'm not a fan of the "unattended hotel" concept, but we didn't have problems, and the response to a phone call was prompt and helpful. The area around the hotel can be a bit noisy, but this is in the middle of a large city.

Property was clean and comfortable. In the heart of the downtown so ideal for walking, shopping and local restaurants.

nice hotel near everything.

Very convenient for getting around Dublin and enjoying all the hotspots! Having the kitchen & laundry was also terrific. A little hard to find the entrance at first.

Great location. Everything needed for a business trip in Dublin.

Beautiful spot if you want to be on the heart of nightlife options and still have a quiet evening in the room.

The perfect location. Dead center of city across from the Phil Linnott statue and Bruxelles famous bar. 10 steps off Grafton Street. Small but nice room with appliances suitable for a longer stay. Doorman / Front Desk person very accommodating and pleasant.

Close to everything

Great central location with everything you need within walking distance. Apartment was comfortable and clean!

Using the Upkey app was a problem. The system locked us out at 9 pm and we had to get the manager to drive over and let us in and give us key cards instead. Management was so nice! Upkey is not a good choice.

This hotel was in the best location for the culture attractions. It was a very walkable area and we felt safe walking around. The rooms need some work to ensure the air conditioners work. We had three rooms, one would stay set at 19C but another wouldn’t go below 20 and the other would go down to 19 then go back up to 22 within an hour. It was very frustrating.

Loved this hotel

Great location for pubs, bars, restaurants and shopping. Also quick walk to tourist attractions.

Definitely a beautiful room and the proximity is perfect to explore and see Dublin. The main drawback is that if you’re looking for a hotel style experience, this isn’t it. There’s obviously no room service, but if you’re even looking for extra toilet paper in the early morning, be prepared to walk to Lidl down the road.

Rooms Too Hot / Windows only open an inch & Air Con not working

The reason I chose this hotel was the location. It was close to Trinity College and it was a good environment to walk around. Also, most tourist attractions are within walking distance. Since it is not a hotel, there is not always a person at the entrance, so if you want to contact the hotel side, you have to contact the place that looks like management. There is no phone in the room, so if you need anything, you have to go down and ask the staff. If you are lucky enough to have an employee at that time. The shower room in our room did not drain, so I tried to tell the staff, but the staff wasn't there, and I contacted the management company, but the problem was not resolved. After a while, I was able to tell the staff directly that there was a problem with the drainage, and that evening the staff said the problem was fixed, but it still did not drain. It was the day before we were to leave, so I just endured it and checked out the next day.

Everything about this place and location was fantastic. Location is in Temple Bar area. Having a small kitchen and washer/dryer in our room was really convenient.

Great communication, easy to find. Excellent location Easy checking/out. Beautiful accommodation Only problem was coffee machine wasn’t working Would definitely stay again

Excellent location. Lobby is a tiny narrow hallway with no waiting area. The loft apartment has a weird design, had to step down and up a few stairs immediately out of the elevator. The room is super hot, fortunately there is AC! Yet the quilt is extremely thick and heavy - very uncomfortable and barely got much sleep.

Very well located and quite comfortable for our trip to Dublin,

The building and room were just fine. Awesome location in the heart of a great neighborhood. Just one small problem - the beds were not really beds. There were beds there of course, but they were BOX SPRINGS and NOT mattresses! No joke, I actually slept on a box spring. But everything else was groovy.

Only downside is that between 8 pm and am no one is available to call a taxi. We tried using the numbers provided and no one answered or called us back

Prime location for walking to best places in Dublin. Having a washing machine in the room was great.

Great location! Just off Grafton so close to everything but never disturbed by noise. Helpful staff. Cool interior decorating too.

Perfect location in center of Dublin all activities surrounding you or within walking distance! Great pub right across street

We enjoyed our stay at the Grafton st studios. It was very quiet at night, even when near bars and lots of people restaurants. The lobby area smelt damp but the room was fine so unsure what the smell was. Accessible to lots of Dublin sights transport. Bed was smaller than we had booked (booked king-got queen). There was a washing machine but very complex so needed to download manual to ensure correct settings. Overall nice stay.

The property was in a great walkable location to major sites in the city and had a pub open late downstairs. My only complaint would be a warning about the steps on the fourth floor next to the elevator, didn't see them and wiped out on my first night
