Customer Reviews
Very Convenient Location
Fully recommended. I stayed at Premier Suites in Sandyford for two months while . Very close to the Luas which made popping into town or Dundrum Shopping center a breeze. Several stores are conveniently nearby including the Beacon shopping center with a large selection of dining options. The apartment was spacious, warm, and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The reception staff were incredibly attentive and responsive to any requests. I would happily return. – Gerry Tierney
Excellent Staff
Lovely apartments, well located near the Luas line. The staff were excellent, particularly Gosia on the front desk. Housekeeping were wonderful, the apartment was always spotlessly clean. Really enjoyed our stay, and very grateful for the booking flexibility we were offered. – Rob Beard

Zanzibar Locke Ha’penny Bridge is definitely one of the more stylish options out there amongst service apartments in the Dublin area. They have a variety of amenities as well as a highly convenient location that will definitely keep your stay fun and engaging.
The structure itself is composed of four Georgian townhouses but also filled with a lot of bold yet modern decorations. If you’re looking for an apartment filled with a lot of personality in terms of ambiance, you may want to check them out
What we also like about them is that they have an excellent variety of apartment options to choose from.
From studios to suites and even an option for a river view, we appreciate the selection they have that customers can select based on their preferences.
Keep in mind however, that availability sometimes is very difficult to come by so we highly recommend booking in advance as soon as possible.
For those as well looking to explore the surrounding neighborhood, Zanzibar Locke Ha’penny Bridge has a great variety of options for restaurants and spaces to visit.
Additionally, all of their hotels are pet friendly but customers must have booked a WOOF package prior. The extra fee comes with benefits like treats, a toy and dog bowl.
If you’re looking to add some vibrance during your serviced apartment stay, check out Zanzibar Locke Ha’penny Bridge.

Customer Reviews
Could Not be Happier
I accidentally booked this place because everything else was booked up for the days I wanted. And I could not be happier!!!! One of the best hotels have stayed at and worth every penny. 1) service was excellent.. 2) rooms were very clean and neatly decorated, very boutique feeling. 3) The location is perfect, very central and walkable to all major attractions. However, far enough from pubs that it is not loud. If I come back to Dublin, this is exactly where I’m going to stay!! Small suggestion: Staff to be more well informed about “tourist activities” and transport methods in the area (maybe have a list of common activities / hours /rates). Also with transport… not just transport to airport but where to get local buses, intercity buses/trains etc. – Jemy Joseph
Beautifully Designed
One of the nicest hotels we’ve had in a while! We got a studio and the room, as well as the entire hotel, is beautifully designed. The decor is high quality and modern, lots of windows and plants and lovely furnishings- overall just a fresh feeling place. There is a workspace area and gym but they also have a bar and restaurant with outdoor seating.
Would definitely stay here again! – Brandy Klingelpuss

Sonder Mountjoy Square is definitely an option worth considering serviced apartments that are well decorated and have a solid selection of facilities,
CEO Francis Davidson grew the business by trying out and evolving different models to suit the customers needs. Nowadays, their presence is known across more than 35 cities.
We appreciate that this customer-focused vision is present from the very first moment of the process. They have contactless check-in as well as 24/7 support which is especially helpful for individuals looking to really fit their stay to their schedules.
In terms of the apartments themselves, we really like how well-decorated and substantially roomy they are. Customers can choose between studios and suites and we really think people will enjoy the overall vibe.
Aside from this, we find that all of their choices are more affordably priced compared to other serviced apartment options. We do, however, wish that these were wheelchair accessible – especially since there is no elevator.
Nevertheless, the rooms themselves have features like kitchenettes and microwaves. Beyond that, they also offer an outdoor area as well as luggage storage which is very helpful, especially for tourists.
If you’re looking for a place to stay with very advantageous additional features and affordable pricing options, you may want to check out Sonder Mountjoy Square
Pros
- Very stylish rooms
- Flexible cancellation policy
- Great prices
- Excellent neighborhood
Cons
- Finding parking may be difficult
- Wheelchair accessibility not available

Cute Apartment, Convenient Features
From the airport, you can take the 16 or 41 bus line which drops you off across the street from the Sonder. Be sure to have exact change of 2.60 euros, but that’s all it’ll cost for the full ride. We had arrived prior to the check-in time and they have luggage lockers in the lobby. It worked out perfectly for us to drop off our stuff and roam around town bag free. Cute apartment, we were so glad to be able to do laundry after weeks of traveling and they even provided detergent pods! Also it’s about a 20 minute walk to central Dublin. – Eileen Fruithandler
Amazing Staff
The room was very clean, well maintained, warm and cosy. The staff were amazing. Each and every one was very helpful and were trying everything possible to make the stay comfortable. Would definitely recommend. Specially because of service. – Apeksha J
4. Grafton Street Studios
| Amenities and facilities | ★★★★☆(4/5) |
| > Variety | ★★★★☆(4/5) |

| Location | ★★★★☆(4/5) |

| > Customer service | ★★★★☆(4/5) |
| > Satisfaction | ★★★★☆(4/5) |
Grafton Street Studios began in 2007 to answer a want for self-catered arrangements in the Dublin area. With over 14 years of experience, they’ve come up with features that will surely make it a suitable stay especially for individuals or smaller groups.
We appreciate that they offer meet-and-greet airport shuttles which are helpful for tourists.
Aside from providing self-check-ins, we also appreciate that their key system is retrieved through a coded locker at the front entrance.
Admittedly however, the space of the service apartment is much smaller compared to other options. If you’re looking for a roomier selection of apartments, this may not be the service for you.
Nonetheless, they are able to fit in quite the amount of amenities in such a small space. This includes a kitchen and a washing machine all compacted in the same area.
We especially find their Edge Studios option to have quite great lighting, with large windows and a little bit more allowance in terms of space.
Lastly, we would also like to note that the surrounding areas are great for tourists! The Little Museum of Dublin and the Book of Kells are all less than 500 meters away!
Pros
- Large windows and great lighting for edge studios
- Solid selection of features
- Excellent option for couples or individuals
- Nearby notable tourist destinations
Cons
- Much more limited space
- Dublin airport is 10 km from the place
Customer Reviews
Great Central Location
We wanted to experience Dublin without all of the tourists traps. This was a great central location where we could walk around and get away from our fellow tourists and carve out a unique experience for us. The rooms are small, but so is the price. If you are expecting a 5-star experience, this isn’t it. But they are cool little rooms, great beds, an incredible value. – Rhett Holecheck
Location Cannot be Beat
I absolutely adore this space; it’s one of the best places I have stayed period (though I am partial to compact studio apartments). We stayed in a studio with an infant and were immensely comfortable. The location cannot be beat. The staff is amazing, especially the cleaning team, which went out of their way to do kind things for us. I will recommend Grafton Street Studios to anyone looking to visit Dublin. – Simone Collins
5. Aspect Hotel Park West

| Booking | ★★★☆☆(5/5) |
| Location | ★★★★★(5/5) |

Located at the Park West Business Campus, Aspect Hotel Park West definitely has the range of ambiance and capabilities to provide customers with a great serviced apartment experience.
What we really like about them is that they are very flexible when it comes to certain terms and conditions. Guests can cancel their bookings up to 4:00 PM on the day itself without incurring any penalties.
What’s more is that they have a loyalty program where customers can enjoy different perks like early check-ins. This is especially great for those looking to go to Dublin repeatedly for business and have to frequent the area more often.
However, we would like to note that the apartments themselves are very limited in availability – there are only five. Nonetheless, compared to other options, they do have hotel room options that can accommodate larger groups.
Although the apartment itself has a less homey look compared to other options, we really like the amount of amenities they have. From fitted kitchens to dishwashers, they have the basics covered.
If you’re a businessperson looking to stay at an apartment, we suggest checking out what Aspect Hotel Park West has to offer. Its close proximity to business parks and locations and access to the hotel’s available meeting rooms can come in handy.
Pros
- Good choice for business groups
- Resources available for exploring nearby areas
- Substantial amount of room amenities
- Attached to a hotel for more room options
Cons
- Very limited availability
- Customer complaints about the food quality

Great Location, Very Quiet
Great location, so handy to get to and to get to the M50 and city centre. It was so quiet! I know I asked for a quiet room and I got it. Heard nothing all night. It was very clean with a really spacious room. Would definitely stay here again…great value! – Linda O’Mahoney
All You Need for a Decent Stay
This is a utility hotel. In other words it has all you need for a decent stay. What puts it above others in Dublin is its location. Free car park, easily accessible to the town, five.minutes away from the River Liffey shopping centre and restarants, bus stop for Dublin outside and train station 100 yds down the road. Great if you are getting to know Dublin on a budget and need choice as to how you will get around. – Nick Cassells
