Very pleased with our stay
So comfortable with a lot of useful amenities. I loved using the gym daily
This was our third stay at Zanzibar Locke, and we love it. Exceptionally reasonable price, very friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable little apartments. We’ve been delighted every time- central location with an easy walk to everything. The neighborhood is a bit dense with tourists, and youngsters hanging
out everywhere, but that’s ok. With the nicely appointed kitchen you just make a quick walk to a nearby Tesco or M & S for groceries, so you needn’t eat out all the time. Free laundry facility on site, which is amazing; you can pack a weeks worth of laundry for a two week trip.
It’s a great blend of “living” in the neighborhood, even as a short term visitor. We hate leaving.

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable room. We didn’t like that we were not told of the construction that was happening across the street when we picked our room. Also the hot water in the shower only lasted a few minutes and then it was just warm water.

Absolutely incredible little apartment style hotel in downtown city center. It was very easy to get to from the airport by shuttle and was in walking distance of everything you’d want to see while in Dublin. Super friendly staff that made the stay wonderful with an early check in. We will be staying here again the next time we visit Dublin!
A lovely property. We had booked 3 studios and were able to access one of the studios early which was great. The studios were clean and spacious with everything you may need provided. Even some tea / coffee and milk to make a cuppa on arrival. Just a couple of minutes over the bridge to Temple Bar and just a few minutes from cafes / shops and an M&S to stock up on food to eat in if required. We were able to keep a studio until 1pm on the last day for just 10 euros, great value. All the staff we met were great.
This was a great place in a great location. Nothing bad to say

Mediocre at best
We would not stay there again. Very dull room. Studio Window facing a junky extrrior.
Shower water was lukewarm and controlled so you cannot raise the water temperature. We did not enjoy our showers at all.
