“This property strikes me as a practical choice for a brief visit to Dublin, particularly given its location in the Rathgar area with its local shops. While the self-check-in system offers a degree of independence, I think it's worth noting that some rooms might show signs of wear and tear. For those prioritizing budget and location, it holds some appeal.”
