10/10 Excellent
"All I needed was good accommodation for one night reasonably priced within the centre of Dublin, close to transport links and this place had everything. I’d never stayed in a pod before and I couldn’t complain. Mattress was comfortable and the bed was made with fresh linen. The bathroom was of good size and instant hot water from the shower with pressure that was great on the 6th floor. Will definitely return!"
