Temple Bar Essex Apartments

On our last visit to Dublin, we (myself, wife, two sisters and friend) stayed in the three bedroom, two bathroom apartment, just down for the Ha'Penny Bridge. It was an absolute bargain! True, it isn't fancy, but it is very comfortable and functional. The location is top notch. We though we would be inundated with drunken noisemakers from Temple Bar, directly behind the building, but this wasn't the case. The apartment itself offers plenty of room, a fully functioning kitchen with all flatware and utensils, pots and pans supplied. You get a dishwasher AND a washer/dryer, which I can't say enough about. There is nothing better than flying home without a suitcase full of dirty clothes. The location is close to everything! This is Dublin. If you can't find a drink or a meal, then that's on you. Just remember, this is Europe and people here are allowed more of a work/life balance than we normally have in the states, so know that things close earlier here. Start your day earlier and you should be able to fit everything in. Just as an aside, I will be staying here again in July 2024.

Loved the location in Temple Bar. So much to do quite close to the property. Check-in was good through their service - distance between check-in and property required second taxi ride. We were there during extra warm weather; a fan would have been greatly appreciated. We would stay there again, but would limit ourselves to top floor apartments as noise from above tenants (who seemed to be practicing Irish dance) was distractingly loud.

All was ok...only the radiator in the bathroom did not work..

The whole concept of the city apartments was wonderful. The only challenge was getting into the site. You must have and turn on your cellular service.

The location is amazing - right around the corner from Temple Bar and completely walkable for every sight we wanted to visit. However, it was extremely small for a family of 4 and the unit we stayed in needed some work - sloping floor, low water pressure, and a weird banging noise in the bathroom. If it was just 2 of us, the place would totally work.

Great for a family, easy check in at the agency, walkable restaurants, shopping and sightseeing.

Not very clean and only 2 chairs for 4 people

Location to all amenities in Dublin

Staff at the check in location were amazing. We arrived 6 hours prior to check in time. They held onto our luggage while we explored the city. They then emailed us the second our room was ready. Upon checkout we forgot our passports in the safe and left the building. Upon noticing our error the staff went back to our room and retrieved them for us. They then brought them to us at the check in location. Fantastic customer service by their front end staff
