River Inn

Alloggio molto spazioso, con phon, bagnoschiuma, shampoo, sapone e asciugamani compresi. Tv e frigo in stanza ottimi oltre al wi-fi perfettamente funzionante. Bottoni della corrente in prossimità del letto. Molti armadi per i vestiti. Se devo dire un difetto, la mancanza di una presa elettrica in bagno, utile per utilizzare il phon e anche il troppo caldo in stanza. Consiglio a tutti questa struttura

We liked the staff and the room was clean and nicely spaced.

We did not like that there was no stand up shower. You have to awkwardly wash yourself in a tub. It was also very cold in the morning inside of the room.

It was walking distance to temple bar area. The room was cozy with a small fridge which I really appreciated. There was a shared kitchen area on the main floor that was well stocked with a very spacious area for eating and sitting. The woman at the front desk was kind and accommodating. It was raining while I was there so I didn’t make use of the rooftop terrace. The bathroom was small but clean. It was also very convenient as it was only a few steps away from transportation. Both the city transit and the Dublin express (airport bus).

It’s not so much a dislike but something to be mindful of. There is a spot right beside the hotel that gives meals on some days to those struggling with homelessness and addiction. So there were times that a large number of people in this demographic gathered outside. While I didn’t have any negative experiences, it might be something to be mindful of if you are travelling alone, or with young children.

The room was very clean and spacious and had a nice view of the river

For 130€ a night I expected a bit more comfort and convenience. (Booked weeks in advance) What I hadn’t realised before arriving was that, although I had my own private bathroom, it was located separately down the corridor rather than inside the room. This meant having to get fully dressed and step out into the hallway every time I needed to use the toilet or shower or to get ready in the morning and evening, which was far from ideal especially since other guests were often around. I went to look back at the listing to see if it specified that the room didn’t have an en-suite bathroom, and it did so that’s my fault - it just didn’t even occur to me the possibility that a 130€ room wouldn’t have a bathroom ha. Another issue was the noise. The doors in the guesthouse close automatically and do so with an incredibly loud bang. Each time a door shut it echoed through the corridor and startled me awake multiple times during the night and early morning. On top of that, the soundproofing between rooms was minimal, so I could clearly hear conversations (including phone and more private ones) from neighbouring rooms. Lastly, the area felt a little quiet and less welcoming at night, so I’d just recommend being mindful if you’re walking alone. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible stay, the room was clean and spacious but it didn’t feel like good value for money. For the price point, I would have expected an ensuite bathroom, better sound insulation, and a quieter environment for a good night’s rest.
