Home Gourmet in Dublin

31/01/2025: Only here for 1 night On arrival was greeted by Nicola and he barely made sense. Sorry buddy but please slow down. But embarrassed to say can you repeat everything you said. The room is big. The bath won't drain.....ive tried and tried. Black hairs around the sink. Overlooking a car park and the road noise is horrific. All wondows shut and the room overnight turned into a sauna. Now thats it. The rest was fine but a premier inn dumps on this from a great height.

30/01/2025: Sadly, not the experience I was looking for as I found multiple issues of which, some definitely needs addressing. Chief amongst the issues were the noise from the outside. Whilst it's great to have the hotel situated next to the railway station, it wasn't so great when I kept getting awaken by the noisey diesel trains roaring in and out of the station, or the noise of contractors equipement whilst engineering works were being carried out. What also further made sleeping difficult for me was, the use of very soft pillows. I know pillow comfort is an extremely subjective matter and is always going to be hard to get right, but that for me wasn't comfort at its best. That, together with the noisey neighbour i.e. the railway station, made my stay not so memorable. Lastly, the bathroom could benefit with a moveable shower head instead of just a fixed one overhead. Nevertheless, setting the negativity a side, given that if I were to have a room the furthest away form the station, I'd still say th rest of the hotel was still good. It was extremely clean, the staff in the front desk were friendly, and the housemaid was the just loveliest, joyful person I came across. Now the question remains for me to ask is, would I be returning here or recommending the friends and family as a place to stay? The answer that is, I'm going to have to really think about that one.
