What guests think

Wren Urban Nest draws strong praise for its ultra-central yet surprisingly quiet location, cozy well-designed rooms, and friendly staff, with many travellers appreciating the eco-conscious touches, inviting bar and breakfast, and efficient layouts that work well for short city stays.

Most reviews highlight the walkable position near Temple Bar and Grafton Street and thoughtful details like filtered‑water stations, an inviting lounge/bar, and convenient luggage storage. Common drawbacks are very small rooms with beds against a wall and limited storage, occasional temperature control or A/C issues and confusing room controls, plus an alley approach with steps that some found hard to access or locate. Feedback on breakfast and service is mostly positive but mixed at times, with a few mentions of slow meals, lapses in communication, or construction/maintenance disruptions. Best for travellers who value location, modern style and sustainability over extra space.

I had a pleasant stay despite a few minor inconveniences. During my stay, I experienced excessive noise from maintenance work conducted above my room and a temporary absence of hot water during the night. However, I appreciate the reception staff’s prompt assistance in relocating me to a quieter floor. While I was disappointed that I was not informed of the planned maintenance work before my check-in, I commend the staff’s professionalism in addressing my concerns. Overall, the housekeeping staff was exceptional, ensuring that my room was maintained to a high standard. I would highly recommend this establishment and would welcome the opportunity to return in the future.

Loved the vibe and look, especially the little bar/dining lounge. Food was great. The decor is amazing. The location was perfect, as it was walking distance to everything yet set back a few streets so that was quiet enough. They also held our bags all day on our last day since our train wasn’t leaving until late in the day. The only thing we did not like was that neither room type (we had one of each) was large enough for our luggage to be opened up making it inconvenient if you don’t want to unpack your bags completely.

Everything was great. The only issue was the floor wasn’t clean and had food debris left from previous guest. The shower leaked all over my floor (I did report it and it was fixed, but then a very bad mold smell surfaced afterwards). The rooms are small but very functional. They did a great job of creating the space provided, with functional desk tops, hooks and wardrobe areas. The bed was comfortable and they provided free water and coffee within the rooms. Breakfast was good, bar was good, and staff were all very nice and helpful. I would definitely stay again

The hotel location is great, very close to everything. The bed was comfortable and the staff were kind. The room was automated with controls which was very cool. Breakfast was fine - sausages cold and rashers always soggy. Nice baked goods though. My only issue was the cleanliness. They had a mini bar area and there was hair on one of the wine bottles, dust all on the hard surfaces and worst of all snot on the curtains. If cleanliness is important to you, I wouldn't stay here.

I knew this was small but this felt like an overpriced hostel virtue signaling environmental friendliness while cranning as many bodies into a building as possible. The tv in the room is ancient and you cant stream anything, so you are left with 5 channel options. There is no window that opens or AC to cool dowm hot rooms. The only spot to put luggage is in a tiny hallway where they have also decided the bathroom sink should be. The restaurant is a rip off. They literally do nothing to make you feel comfortable or appreicated. I found the staff cold, nobody greets you. Overally, not worth it unless solo travelling with very little luggage and you dont mind stuffy rooms with nothing to watch on tv

The property itself was excellent. Unfortunately, the personnel checking us in was rude and smug. He even said, “Since I’m a very nice person, I won’t charge you the early check in fee. If I wasn’t, you would be charged.” Who says that?We were checking in within 30 min of check in. I’ve worked in the service industry, and that’s improper. Also, I booked two of the exact rooms. One for my husband and I and the other to a couple we were traveling with. We were given a SMALLER room than them and paid slightly more and twice charged (separate from incidentals)! I’m hoping the second charge falls off once the incidental charge falls off too. Fortunately, our friends were checked in by a more welcoming gentlemen. The property itself is centrally located, clean, and excellently maintained. It is sad that the check in process and the different rooms dropped my rating. We will not be going back.

One night shift desk ladies was efficient but cold, slightly condescending in her efficient manner to myself—and how she addressed others in queue. Efficient staff is great, but genuine hospitality is the touch we will return for—especially after customers being travel weary. Will return. Delicious breakfast and very neat rooms!

FAB location and incredibly quiet! We arrived a day early (my bad) and realized I had messed up our reservation. They did not have a room but managed to get us a room close by during the incredibly busy American football weekend. Also, they allowed us to store our luggage there so we did not have to cart it around. That was really excellent service. Toby the intern was fantastic and helped us move our luggage around. He was so sweet and friendly. Everyone made us feel really at home. My only single critique is only that the space is very small. If you have a lot of luggate (we had wedding dress/suits), you will constantly be juggling and losing things. We knew it was going to be small in advance but chose it due to sustainability and location.

Didn’t end up staying. There was a leak in the room I was meant to stay in 2 days before I arrived, but I wasn’t informed until I arrived at 6pm. It was disappointing. Staff were friendly informing me when I arrived and were going to organise for a different hotel, but that place was 20mins outside the city. Not good enough.

The tiny 'nest' room made of the minimal space. All was clean and well-tended. But it is truly tiny, and I'm not sure how comfortable you'd be with more than one suitcase to open - but a party of one can manage pretty well! The location was the main negative for me. While in a great location for walking to Grafton St., St. Stephens Green etc., it's tucked into a back alley, and pretty hard to locate until you're familiar. Both Google and Apple GPS struggled with directions. Also, be prepared to carry your luggage down stairs to get to the lower-level reception desk. The electronic controls for all lights, curtains, etc., were great once you worked them out, but it was a frustrating time after a long flight trying to figure them out. You might ask for a quick overview before you go to your room.
