Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge

.

Good hotel, but the rooms were very basic. Only stair access. We were on the third floor. Not easy. Noisy club downstairs. Very busy area, but in the middle of it all.

This was probably one of the worst hotel experiences of my life. The bathrooms can't have been touched for decades with stained cracked tiles and grout, dirty shower curtains (if I knew there were shower curtains I would never have booked) and the toilet seat was so old it had yellowed. Outside of my window there was a shed on a filthy roof with a constant banging door. Due to the awfulness of the bathroom the staff kindly did offer me another room which I was incredibly grateful for however the options weren't much better. A slightly cleaner shower curtain and a less yellow toilet seat was an improvement. However, then it came to people upstairs. Oh my goodness. You can hear EVERYTHING. I could hear them going to the toilet and which activity they were doing, heavy footsteps and creaking until 1.30am kept me awake and sounded like they were going to come through the floor and land on my head. This started again at 3am and again at 5am then constantly at 7am. Needless to say I had no sleep. Honestly staying here was the worst decision I ever made and never have I seen more disgusting old bathrooms. It made me very uncomfortable. Some of the staff were very helpful as I did come down to see if I could move rooms at 1.15am as I was keen to get some sleep. I couldn't, but he was nice enough! If you are thinking of booking, absolutely do not would be my advice. Awful. The carpets also must be decades old and possibly never cleaned. Bed comfy! Otherwise an awful stay.

The location is right in middle of the city. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good. I would stay here again.

This hotel is really well located and the staff, especially the breakfast staff, were very friendly.
