the heater was not functioning properly. the portion of the breakfast was a bit too small. the check in staff was nice. however, there are two buildings in this property, you might need to carry your bags to another building. the good thing about this hotel is that the airport bus station is within 1 minute from the hotel.

I was the perfect simple place to stay on my last day in Dublin. The breakfast was good and the airport bus is right out the door. It is close to last minute gift and souvenir shopping too.

Went here with low expectations but we were surprised by the friendly staff and even though the hotel could do with a makeover the rooms were clean he staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was an added bonus. The hotel is in a backpackers area so expect lots of backpackers. The hotel is within walking distance of the city. Overall we had another great break in Dublin

Pretty awful place but whatever. Paid a hefty price which was essentially a backpackers hostel. Staff didn’t change the bedding and the walls were stained with something. Pigeon droppings everywhere. Excellent location though.

This is more like a college dorm than a hotel, but its location is excellent. The breakfast was great and the staff were friendly. My biggest concern was the security of the room. You have to turn your key in when you leave in the day, but they don't check ID when you get back. As staff changed, I knew I hadn't been recognized but got my key just by stating the room number. Also, one night i heard someone trying my door around midnight (very slow turn). There was also a bit of mold in the washroom from the damp (bit i found this common in the hotels I stayed in in the UK as well). I do recommend the Glen but hope they fix the security issues. Just a tip - there is a bus that goes to the airport near the hotel and was only 6 Euro, so much cheaper than a cab (they have luggage storage under the bus).

Lacks a lot

Not so good It is an older Georgian style building without lifts,so if you do have mobility issues not the best. Our room was meant to have 2 twin beds but it was basically a double-good thing I was with my daughter.The staff are unenthusiastic or just don't care.When I mentioned about the room the girl at reception just shrugged her shoulders and said well we are full.I could not get the tv to work so again asked the receptionist and she sort of just looked at me so I said it might be the batteries in the remote? There were no hair dryers,asked for a bottle opener,did not have one but again it may have been that the girl just did not want to get up, The only good thing about the place was that it was in easy reach to 3 Arena,the bus station and town center.Basically a place to lay your head for 1 night.

Never again

We were warned not to walk up the street as it was a bad area. The plumbing was barely functioning. The Dining room was too small for the number of guests and very cramped space at the tiny tables. Wifi was good.

The guesthouse is very centrally located and handy for major attractions. The breakfast was tasty and the staff friendly. Mattresses were well past their best making for an uncomfy night's sleep.

we had a tv that didn't work wi fi didn't work a bed and 1 chair which we had to put the kettle on because the plug wasn't long enough to reach the socket, 2 hangers for our clothes no locker,no iron, bathroom no shelving not even for soap, dodgy toilet seat, no toilet roll holder, receptionist should paint a smile on their face or maybe their to embarrassed for people when they see the rooms, hope your not claustrophobic, quality of breakfast poor. NEVER AGAIN TAKE THIS PLACE OFF YOUR LIST
